I have gotten so much response from the last blog on Marylee's portrait that I wanted to share with you some other recent works. These were all done over the holidays and are created as oil paintings in the Rembrandt style and some watercolors of fun things I have seen. All of it has been extremely satisfying and fun. Great subjects to learn on.
The smoke in The Man with a Pipe was a challenge, but upon recalling some 17th c. paintings of tavern scenes I have studied in books and museums, my approach became very easy.
Monument Valley in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, may be my favorite as is the Man with the Pipe whom I photographed last summer in Clarksville, Tennessee. Note I have included 2 different interpretations of that painting, one has more texture in the scene. I really do like the window view from Normandy, France; and Hunter, Alice Hendry's son, was sitting on the lawn at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum in Nashville, when I saw him doing a pencil sketch of the tulips, another very talented person.
Enjoy,
David
