A nice comment on this painting:

" A lovely painting all the way around. I am so seeing an alligator floating along in that water in my mind too. Believe it or not, I found myself mesmerized by the way you've handled the sand and the grasses in the foreground. A perfect rendering of reality."

Hawk Photo NODP

I went to the Savannas Recreational area today to paint and walked around and we saw this.  The hawk flapped his wings and jumped up and the squirrel got away.  I don't think the hawk was very hungry!

 Oh so pretty! I love the pale pink and orange next to each other. And I had to go back and figure out what sounded so good in the guava post. Guava bread. I cannot even imagine but boy! It sure sounds yummy.

Daily Painting 1456 Bright Red Hibiscus

You may have wondered what is with all the hibiscus I have been painting lately.  I am getting ready for a show at  Art Mundo, I have the "Edge" wall reserved for December.  I thought a bunch of nice hibiscus and maybe some other flowers would be nice for Christmas.  I'll probably have some other paintings there too.
Of course if anyone wants to get one before the show just click on the yellow paypal button.  :o)

Daily Painting 1454 SOLD Golden Guavas Alla Prima

 SOLD  I painted these from life, they are from my guava tree in the back yard.  The thing has gone crazy this year with the wet summer we have had, it has dozens of guavas.  I am the only one in my family who likes them, I have about gotten to my point of saturation.  I have been eating fresh off the tree, I made guava bread, guava smoothie, guava cobbler, and gave a bunch away.  I figure next I'll try freezing some.

The painting is all done with the painting knife and is oil, 8 x 10 inches on masonite.

A nice comment I received:
"Oh look at the gorgeous greens!! I am thinking that the guava cobbler and ... one of the other things you mentioned (can't remember and post isn't above the comment box for me to see) sounds delicious!! I love the almost tropical feel of this piece without going too far with it. Definitely Floridian!"

Daily Painting 1443 Life in the Savannas Miniature oil painting

 I mainly used my painting knife on this one, it has lots of nice textures.

I just was asked the difference between a palette knife and a painting knife.  The palette knife has a wider and longer blade, its used to clean off a palette and to mix paint.  A painting knife can be lots of different shapes, its used to paint with.  You can paint with a palette knife and clean with a painting knife though.
 People ask me fairly often if I used my palette to paint with.  No.  That would be hard.  I guess you could use it as sort of  a shovel to paint a very large painting.  I would never tell somebody they can't paint a certain way.

The painting is 4 x 6 inches, oil on masonite.
