Jennifer's Cardinal

Here is another commission piece based on a previous painting.  I'm including a photo of this "gallery-wrapped" canvas.  With this style of canvas there is no need for a frame.  The painting can continue on all sides of the canvas, or the sides can be painted a solid color.  FMI, click on the link to my website.

"Heeling"

I enjoyed creating the sense of distance in this by softening edges and reducing detail in the water as you approach the horizon.  I also thought repeating the yellow/green accents from the sails into the sky worked well.

'Hot on my Feet'

My favorite subject, children on the beach.  I'm finding figure painting to take the most time and thought of any other subject I do.  The eye is not very forgiving when it comes to the human form or face.  I tried to give the sand more texture here, but I think an additive like cold wax would give more form.  Next time I'll try that.
