Painting in the Sun

What happens when you paint on a hot, sunny day in an outdoors studio:
"Sun Flower Cross Section" 9x12 paper on 1 1/2" cradled board.  R&F oil sticks and oil paints.

Big Mouth

Two new oil, cold wax and graphite paintings each on 12x16 inch encausticbord (on 1" cradled wood panels) painted as a diptych (bottom) but presentable as two separate paintings - Big MouthA (top) and BigMouthB (middle).  Painted on a hot, sunny day in California in my outdoor studio as I channeled my love of the sun!

Although not yet completely dry, they are now up on my Saatchi Art gallery:  http://www.saatchiart.com/Lucy

What's New with Bugs and Textures

Final pieces:
Top:  "Bottle of Bugs" mixed media on 9x12" cradled wood panel, featuring my new patent pending work flow incorporating pen & ink and marker, cold wax, oil paint, R&F pigment sticks, gum arabic transfer and digital collage on Kozo paper
Bottom:  "San Anselmo Street Textures" 13x19" poster printed on Epson Hot Press Natural professional paper (inspired by the way Facebook cropped my latest photo album)

Cold Wax and Oil Paint Plus Gum Arabic Transfer

Top to Bottom:
"Crow Remembering His Childhood" (background painting by grandson Wilson Taylor) Paper on cradled board 9x12
"Dancing On Top Of A Cauldron" paper on cradled board 9x12
"Yellow Flower" Arches oil paper on cradled board 6x6
"Bottle Waiting for Bugs" Arches oil paper on cradled board 9x12 (needs more work).

Something Old, Something New

Some tweaking of an earlier painting (Middle painting "Over the Sea") and two completely do overs of previous paintings:  Top, "Balancing Act" (painted over "Bird on a Wire") and "Bird On A Ball" (painted over "Bugs in a Bottle")  Fun day in my outdoors studio making a mess with cold wax, oil paint and R&F pigment sticks

New Bird Paintings

Two new cold wax and oil paintings on 12x16 panels:  "Avoiding Danger" and "Over the Sea." These are painted over two prior works "Rainbow Bird" and "Big Bird" (see prior post).
