Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Warm Crossing"

This is another one from New York City. More shafts of light. I'm particularly happy with how this one turned out. I used a combination of approaches. I painted some of the darks first, but left out the stuff that I thought was too vulnerable for it. For example, her pants. And the whole part of the street in the light. And all the blue-ish background bits.

This is why I love the city - the shadows the buildings make on each other! And the bits of sun in between.This is a scene from San Francisco.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Reflecting San Francisco"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   2/26/15
 "Reflecting San Francisco" - 5x7in. - click to bid 

This is a scene from San Francisco. I just love the reflections of windows in the car from the building beside it, and the peek of the bay in the background. It took me 2 tries to get this painting right. It was really hard to convince myself to do it over, but it was totally worth it.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Cozy Spot"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   2/25/15
 "Cozy Spot" - 6x6in. - click to bid 
This is a little scene from a hotel my husband and I stayed at in San Francisco last year.


A friend of mine sent me a link for some interesting frames for paintings on panels. They look pretty neat, and VERY inexpensive. If anyone gets them, please let me know what you think! If the quality is good, I'd like to recommend them on a regular basis.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Angels in the Architecture"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   2/24/15
 "Angels in the Architecture" - 12x12in. - click to buy - $600

The buyer of this painting also receives a free book - my 6th collection of 100 small paintings, from the year 2014!
 

After a few successes with the "darks first" method, I had a few total disasters. So I retreated back to my usual method for this one (islands to oceans). What I've discovered is there are pros and cons to each. My goal is to figure out when to use each one, and if there's some way to use them somehow together. I will keep experimenting. Thoughts, anyone?

Meanwhile, I did this one from a photo I took inside the NYC downtown library. I chose a bigger panel for it and found it was MUCH easier to paint people when they weren't crammed into a 6x6! I've been wanting to do this one for a while, and am very happy with the result.
