Three Bums!

This my third in this series, and I think I am learning how to paint the human body ie.bums this time. I finally got the transparent red oxide I needed. The skin tome on this painting is much improved over legs. I will have to continue to play.

                         
This oil painting is on a canvas, 15"x30".

A House in the City

This was painted from a photo that was taken in the neighborhood of Bellevue House. We painted there during the summer and as I walked the surrounding streets I saw this lovely little house. I liked the path, surrounded with flowers and bushes, leading to the front door and the wonderful geometric shapes in the roof lines. This was fun to paint on an 11x14 board.

Rideau Acres Campground

                        
 This is the photo of a gazebo and Banquet Hall at Rideau Acres Campground. This wonderful spot was our last Paint Out for the year and everyone enjoyed the sunny,warm day and beautiful setting. This is a campground with many differences from other private campgrounds. It sits on the Rideau River, just north of Kingston and has many amenities. We noticed a rental office with bikes, go carts and canoes. Many sites have hydro and other services and the whole park is spotlessly clean and welcoming. We felt very special to be given free admission and the run of the park to paint. Thank you to Rideau Acres Campground for a lovely day.

Legs

   This painting was an interesting challenge. With five different sets of legs and various shades of flesh tones combined with tans, there were no end of challenges. here is the finished canvas.
