Yellow Calla Lilly No. 2 ** $199 + 20.00 S & H ** 18 x 24 inches
























email
russells.studio@pacbell.net
Yellow Calla Lilly No. 2- The picture does not do this one justice at all. It just jumps off the canvas at you. The canvas size is 24in high by 18in wide. The yellow mat (electronically created and NOT for sale with the painting) in this case is approximately 5 inches wide all around and is here as an example only. It makes a prominent statement doesn’t? I just love it.

Nude Torso No. 2 - I love these black and white paintings. Every one is a new experience and with every one, I try something different in the process. This time I almost quit, wiped the whole thing off and started over due to a mistake, but persevered and it finally came out OK.

Calla Lillies are just fun to paint as they are so rich in color and design, even the white ones. This a Peach or Flame Calla Lilly, probably one of the most colorful.

Model No.2 ** $199.00 + $10.00 S & H **

Model No. 2 - I may work on this one some more or at least try to get a better picture of it as this one just doesn’t do it justice. I really like doing faces, I guess it’s a bigger challenge.
9/19/2007 I made some changes to it this morning, also took a better picture. I'm much happier with it now.

Bird of Paradise No. 1 I saw one of these in Delmar, CA last December that was over a foot long, the largest I’d ever seen. They have a lot of color and brightness and are fun to paint.

9/15/2007 I made some changes to this after posting it yesterday, now I'm happier with it.
The Nude Torso The human anatomy is an interesting study, no two are the same and with the skillful application of light source you can achieve many different looks from the same subject. This one is done with one color, Raw Sienna plus black and white.

Model No. 1 ** $175.00 + $10.00 S & H **


Model No. 1 - This is another first for me, as it’s my first face in natural tones. The construction is similar to black and white, but as expected, more complicated. I sat back with a cup of coffee and looked several times, and then made some changes (many), finally I’m happy with it.

Rose No. 1 - I’ve put off painting one of these just because you see so many and I prefer the Calla Lilly. The question is: how do you make the work special? I don’t know if I have the answer, I just paint what pleases me.

Girl in Shadow No. 2 *$169.00 + $10.00 S & H *




Girl in Shadow No.2. I had so much fun doing the first one the other day I decided to do another one. She has a real haunting look. These black and white projects are great teachers.

Woman in Spotlight. This is the 2nd nude I’ve done and the first in color. I like to keep stretching my skills. Each painting is a new learning experience and this one was particularly forthcoming with new challenges to overcome. It took a little longer to complete and then longer still to improve on, but now I’m happy with it and I think it’s finally done. Woman in Spotlight

Please give me your feedback.

Never having painted a face, I tried this it early this morning. I used a canvas board with a previously ruined landscape as I figured it couldn’t get any worse. I want the viewer to see the emotion in her face; I hope it’s noticeable. I was surprised at how it turned out. Girl in Shadow

The Dead Tree Lake #2 *** $119.00 + 10.00 S & H ***



I posted this last month for about a day and was not satisfied so I reworked it and re-posted it today.

I always called it “The Dead Tree Lake”. I don’t remember it’s real name. I fished it that day with my parents, my uncle Vick and aunt Delia. That was more than 48 years ago in northern Minnesota. I remember it had a very silent and final look with radiation fog across the surface. I remember the northern pike were biting that day. The Dead Tree Lake.

If you viewed this post earlier and it looked different, you're correct. I found another photo that had colors that were truer to the painting, so I re-posted it.

I loved the colors of this flower. The Pink Princess Water Lily was a one sitting painting, something new for me again. It took longer than expected to complete, as working wet on wet can be troublesome.

I’ve never seen one of these in person, however I’ve found several pictures that were stunning. I’ve also tried to put some morning dewdrops on it just to see if I could do it. Every time I do a new painting I find myself stretching for new skills. What a great learning experience.
