Jala- happy new year and it's off to a bright start for you. I love these paintings - especially the middle one. Your use of darks and lights is really masterful.
Hope you're feeling better and keeping warm. And that your lovely works go home with some appreciative buyer.
These are beautiful, and, congratulations! That is awesome about the show. I'm really liking your edges in the oil pieces, something I always struggle with...the right softness vs sharpness.
Casey--thanks for reminding me about the labels; sometimes I forget that part. I've done it now...did I forget some others in previous posts? I think I got them all... And I like your word "ooogle."
Bonnie, thanks for noticing darks/lights. My current art teacher (alla prima portrait) said most students are afraid of two things: dark darks, and big brushes. I try not to be afraid of either. :)
Hi Jala, congratulations on having these 3 beautiful pieces juried in the Boulder show! I really love the bottom sunflower - the colors and the brushwork on the petals is great.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

Three BEAUTIFUL pieces. They definitely should have taken all six. Hope you feel better soon.
OOOoooh. Very nice works.
For my sake, add the label Pastel and Oil to your posts, please. That way I can ooogle the pastel posts at will.
Congrats on the show, and take care.
***Good MORNing!!!***

Thanks, guys! You're (all) the greatest. :)

Thank you, Edward! That one's my favorite of the sunflower paintings as well.
