"Spring Thaw" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

 

12" x 9" Oil on Panel

 

Here is another small painting on panel.  I'm working on six

paintings on panel that are a little looser in style and

that will be available for purchase at the art shows in the fall.

I started this one in a workshop and finished it today.   To purchase or

"Portrait of Alexis" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

12"x12" Oil on Canvas

 

I've been working on this portrait of my Granddaughter

Alexis for the past few days.  I may make some changes

to it after it dries, but for now I think I'd better

put my brush down.  I sometimes don't know when to quit!

Today several members of the Gilbert Visual Art League

It was my first trip to the gallery and I was amazed at the quality 

and variety of the artwork.  If you happen to be in the area, check

"Street Reflections #1 and #2" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

12"x12" Oil on Paper "Street Reflections #1

 

These are the first of a series of four subtractive paintings.  The process

involved prepping a special paper with modeling paste and then painting

a layer of cadmium yellow deep and letting it dry.  A layer of

burnt umber was applied to cover completely and then wiped away

in some places revealing the gold color underneath.  The white lights and

green/red reflections were added last.
