Watering The Flowers

Watering The Flowers - 9x12 Oil on Panel- Earlier this summer a friend hosted the Alaska Plein Air Painters for a paint out and picnic lunch at her home and garden.  Did a little 6x6 painting of one of her statues and also took a photo of this statue that was in a different section of her gardens.   This weekend I ran across the photo and decided to use the fairy statue, but move it to the woods, change the lighting and make it a fantasy/mystery piece.  Lots of fun.

Emerald Princess

Emerald Princess 14 x 18 Oil on RayMar Panel - I think this one is finished, not positive yet, so will let it sit for a few days and then decide if I need to redo anything.  The actual painting is not quite as yellow as the digital image, I couldn't find my digital camera this morning so borrowed my wife's and I am not very familiar with it.  Decided to do this fantasy portrait, I have not done any fantasy work in a while so was fun to let the imagination have free reign  again.
