Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/23/17
   

  Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "I Want This"

While in France, we visited a town with the most beautifully colored buildings. Apparently they get their colors from the surrounding hills, which are red and orange. I called it the Ocher Town, but I'm sure it had a proper name. At any rate, these folks were walking through and, well ... can you see me passing up the opportunity to paint this?


Click Here to Bid  - 6x8in. - "Dapple Makers"

And this is another Eugene scene. I love tree trunks, but have always felt baffled by how to paint them. But then recently I overheard someone saying that if they saw another person paint a "brown" trunk they would throw up. And when I looked again I realized that they may contain brown, but they are lots of colors! Duh. It's another case of what your brain is telling you vs. what you really see. I think this is one of the biggest hurdles we face as artists, and believe me, it never ends.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/21/17
   

 Click Here to Bid  - 6x8in. - "An Oldie but a Goodie"

I spotted this a while ago, a few neighborhoods over from mine. I didn't have time then to stop and photograph it, so I've been trying to find it again ever since. Well, I finally did! But it was just perfectly in the shadow, which made it look funny from the front and side. So, rather than come back later, I found another angle that would work, and I kinda love it.


Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Purple Accents"

This is another random Eugene scene from a recent wander. I'm a sucker for shadows, and this has some great ones. It was a real challenge making all the greens not only different, but often just subtly different, and still work in light vs. shadow, and close vs. distant. Whew. And on such a tiny panel, no less!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/19/17
   

 Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "French Bench"

This was a little scene at our chateau in France that I passed by daily. I never had time to stand and paint it, so I took a picture and painted it at home.


Click Here to Bid  - 6x8in. - "Getaway Car"

And I found this little beauty parked right outside the walls of the Van Gogh place we visited in France. Do you suppose Vincent would have painted it if it had been around during his time? I wonder.



I realized the other day that I never showed a group picture of my kids in France. Almost everyone is in this one above... What a fabulous group!! See an enlargeable version of it here, on my blog.
