Update - Sushi #5

Here is the progress on Sushi #5 for today...

Sushi #5 - progress (only a little)...

The Beginning of the End...

This is the start of the 5th in a series of 5 paintings with sushi as the subject. It is oil on linen on birch, 8" x 6."

More progress this afternoon...

Change of pace...

I needed a little break before doing the last in the series of Sushi paintings. Here's the start of a little teacup, saucer and spoon. It's 7" x 5" oil on linen on birch.

A little more work before work...

More progress on Sushi #4

After work, I was able to paint for about an hour and a half. It's a great way to relax after a 12 hour shift in the ICU.

Sushi #3

Here's the progress photo of Sushi #3. I still have about 2 more hours worth of work to go before I can call this one finished. This was my first attempt at using this particular kind of support. It is supposed to be very nice to work on. I mess up while toning it and mixed burnt umber with quick-drying white and spread it with a palette knife. I am very unhappy with the results and will certainly not do that again.

Sushi #2 Completed!

I guess I was so tired Saturday night (actually very early Sunday morning) that I forgot to post the photo of the completed painting Sushi #2. Here it is...

Mini's

Here are a few miniature paintings that I did while my computer was in the ICU. Thankfully, it has had a full recovery and I am back!
