Sketch of St. John the Baptist by Sandra Galda (NA)

A quick, loosely sketched drawing of John the Baptist after an old Renaissance painting. Many celebrate Ash Wednesday today, and this seems an appropriate subject to post! Posting a sketch is a departure from the aim of this blog, but drawing can sharpen the talent, albeit in a different way, than the small daily paintings. It is best can post when overly busy with family!

Roll and Coffee by Sandra Galda

Roll and Coffee by Sandra Galda
5"x7" oil on masonite

A yummy snack! 5"x7" oil on gessoboard. Shooting for an abbreviated realism that gives the viewer just a little more brushwork to enjoy than smooth ultra-realism. Realism is for cameras.....

Recumbant Bananas by Sandra Galda (SOLD)
5'x7' oil on gesso board
Bananas turn brown so fast! These seemed to age as I painted them. I have heard that their shelf life can be extended a little by separating them and keeping them a little apart from each other.
