This outdoor scene is a recent colored pencil commission for a wonderful family. We had to reschedule several times because of inclement weather. I am very happy with the way this painting turned out after having made several adjustment to the original scene. First of all he was wearing a green shirt, so I changed the color of the shirt to rust to tie in with the orange leaves on the ground. Secondly, I really wanted to put the focus on the child, so I altered the background by blurring and darkening the values of the background and tree.

The morning light on Lake Michigan was so beautiful it would be hard for me not to paint this. But how to execute that multicolored sweater? I turned out much better than I expected.

An antique fruit crate I had was so interesting I had to create a still life around it. The pears were so ready to eat. Before I started I had no idea how I was going to approach the edges of the boards in the foreground, but I feel it is one of the interesting parts of this painting.

This antique worn weathered distressed wood box has so much character. It was truly a challenge to paint but well worth the effort. That's how it looks exactly. I was very happy with how it turned out.

This a still life I set up at night on my the dining room table. I found the reflections very intriguing and I really enjoyed trying to stay loose in the foreground, but also tightly render the cloves of garlic.

This painting appears almost surreal. This was a scene on my kitchen table and I really like the dramatic shadows from the sunset which gives it almost a neon glow.

This commission was a joy to do. I love painting young children and was pleased with the way the flowers and the foreground dappled light were handled. Also the mom loved it!
