Sheep Grazing

First session - Sheep Grazing!  Notice, the sheep have not arrived.  This is a scene from one of my trips to Normandy.  I am always fascinated with sheep, and their symbolism.  I promise to post the finished product.  Have been trying to recapture and sounds, color - the general feel of that morning - and it has become a virtual vacation for me.

Keep watching - and stay posted.l

Pig Pen Oaks

October

Pig Pen Oaks was executed on an archival canvas panel. 

This scene is very typical of the American South and is located five miles from my studio.

Oaks are my passion - and I often stylize them, which infuses the canvas with fantasy.  

I am not a fan of total realism - the attack I employ usually follows an emotional trail - and this is a very warm painting.  

I would love to hear your feedback.  

The dimensions of the painting are 8" x  10" - Oil on Canvas Panel.  

If there is interest in purchasing this piece, please leave a comment here, or contact me through my email address: artigal@hotmail.com.

Second Session

Second Session

 

A wonderful session with my new BF.  Having such fun painting this scene!  It is going very fast, and painting wet in wet most of the time!

I will continue to post updates!

Summer

This is a quick little painting I finished a few days ago.  

This is the first canvas in the Summer 2013 series.  These offerings are timed so that I have to think fast, make good decisions and refrain from overworking!
