Beach Family

This painting was from a differentstrokesfromdifferentfolk.blogspot.com challenge. I loved painting the reflections in the water. They added a sparkle. I felt the need to changed the composition of the beach family to my liking. That is what I enjoy about Karin Juricks challenges. She wants us to paint what we see in a photo not exactly what is printed.

Apples and Pears

I recently completed a small painting of Apples and Pears in oils on canvas. I have not been painting much being that I went through a sad time having to put my dog down. I am recovering from that and will get back into the swing of it soon.
