The Chase

I  took this photo during my family's stay in California about 6 years ago. I just love it! My daughter was in elementary school, 2nd or 3rd grade. Only 3 years after, when we moved to Athens, GA, did I begin to paint every day, which was a new experience for me.

Under the Sun

This is one of my improvisation painting.
I was looking through some of my daughter's photos when she was four/five, and I found a photo where she was wearing a similar sort of dress as the one painted, but was not on the seashore. The only thing in this painting that was taken from the photo is the face - the rest is all improvisation! I rarely try that, but today I decided to change my work scenery.

A Girl From a Cafe

This was a very helpful vendor at Belgian Gelato at Charleston, South Carolina. We visited the store for ice cream at least twice during each of our stays in the city. It was definitely one of the highlights of our traveling!

Summer Afternoon in Charleston

I took this photo in Charleston, South Carolina, while visiting in summer 2012. Lovely city!  I discovered this photo in my files today, and decided it could turn into a painting... and so it did.

A Horse Called Ivy

My daughter used to ride horses in America - and Ivy was her favorite horse there. I took a photo of her trotting Ivy in the field (about a year ago), and painted it quite some time later!

This is Megan, the sister of Kathleen (on yesterday's painting). She's been hiding the chick in her hoodie pocket:) Thank you all for visiting my blog and for the comments!

A Day on a Farm


SOLD

My daughter had a horseback riding lesson on a nearby farm a few days ago, so I went around and photographed different sights. One of these 'sights' is a 4-year-old girl whom I decided to paint. This was painted from a photo, which is so unlike me. I found out that painting from photographs has its advantages and disadvantages. It is easier and more convenient, but is most times inaccurate in colors. Sometime I would like to bring my easel to the farm and paint plein air.
