"Martini Sunrise" accidental idea

Not tequila sunrise, but  “Martini Sunrise.”  

I inadvertently leaned my martini painting up against a recent landscape. Top half is an oil; bottom a watercolor.  I thought …….hmmmmmm…… I might have something here.  I think I will have to paint this combo.

"Sunken Treasure" watercolor class demo

Tried a new surface.  Arches watercolor board.  It's quite nice.  Fun to work with.  Stains a little easier with some colors, but overall I'd give it a two thumbs up.  No buckling because the entire sheet is glued to a board.  No need to tape or staple to a support.  Comes in 32" x 40" sheets.  Quite reasonable.  "Sunken Treasure" 8-1/2" x 11"  http://dianemorganfineart.com/works/1624419/sunken-treasure

"Cocktail Hour" oil class demo

This was the demo for yesterday's oil class.  Completed in two hours.  I had a new student who wanted to just watch me paint rather than work herself.  We had lots in common so I painted while we chatted and had a great time.  I love getting paid to have fun!  "Cocktail Hour"  8" x 10" on gallery-wrap canvas SOLD

Joined at the Hip Olives daily painting

I love painting olives. Some paintings are a struggle and some are a breeze. These olives were fun! I've painted these before, but was drawn to paint them again with a more muted color palette. When I first began painting I always worked from life. With the advent of digital photography and home printing I switched to working from photos. Painting from life feels more authentic. This time while using the photo as a composition reference I set out olives to view for color. It was great having the olive smell in the room. It made the painting feel more real. Upon completion I ate the olives...yum. Available at Daily Paintworks
