Finished First FAF Painting

Well, I think I've finished "The Village Children" except for signing it and putting it securely in the frame and the wire on for hanging and a little spray I'm done.  What a wild painting!  This is nothing like his potraits which are very fine and detailed.  This is somewhat like his watercolors just devil may care.  All kinds of color splattered on in a hap-hazzard manner--- actually,

 I had fun with it after I allowed myself to let go.  But I was trying to follow his pattern and that was a bit hard.  Sometimes I didn't and I had to let myself go  but for the most part I stuck to his painting.  I tried to at least.  Hope you like it.

New Painting

Well, I thought I had posted something the other day but apparently it never got posted, so I'll try again.  It's that time of year again and the Visual Arts Center of Punta Gorda, FL is having their Fine Arts Festival (FAF).  This year the artist they are honoring is John Paul Sargent.  I really do admire his work.  I plan to do three paintings if I can.  Two Acrylics and one charcoal.  I'm working on an acrylic right now and hope to finish it before we go out to Oregon to see my son and family.  It is called Village Children.  It looked easy-- but of course it is not-- as usual.  What looks to be simple generally turns out to be more difficult than it looks.  I'm posting here the work in progress.  I'll post when finished.
