Life is Art...Paint Your Dreams!

Almost finshed!

 

I've been working on this portrait for the few days.  It's time to hide it for awhile

and look at it with fresh eyes on another day.  As always, one of my biggest

problems is getting a good photo.  I'm afraid my skills are really lacking in

that area.  Right now I'm going out to the patio to work on a 30" x 40"

still life.  I'm pretty excited about the still life.  It's larger than I

usually paint and if it turns out, it may be a new direction for me to experiment

with for awhile!

"30 in 30 Day Challenge Day 13" Contemporary Still Life by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

 

"30 in 30 Day Challenge Day 13"  Contemporary Still Life by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

 

7" x 5" Oil on Canvas Panel

 

I'm not quite ready to post this one to my website.  It needs a few tweaks and my

signature.  I'm thinking of hanging it on a wall at my house instead.  It

reminds me of our canoeing, tubing, and kayaking trips down the Iowa River

through the beautiful cliffs in northeastern Iowa.  I'll have to admit, the water in

the river was a little greener than this, but the wildlife, including the eagles, was a

big plus!

"Lake Powell" Landscape Oil Painting by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

 

 

This scene is of Lake Powell, the second largest man made

reservoir in the United States.  Lake Powell is part of the

Colorado River and extends from southern Utah into northern

Arizona.  In this painting, I wanted to capture the flatness of the cliffs and

the deep color of the shadows.  The warm colors of the rocks makes a

good back drop for the crystal blue water.  You can follow this link

Have a wonderful day!
