Another of this popular ball. This was done much looser and faster than the previous, but it has its own lively, sketchy feel.

In Process: large landscape by Sandra Galda



Here is a shot of my ongoing work on a much neglected landscape--I stand right on that chair and paint it while it hangs. This behemoth needs sooooo much work...it really is my large exercise in "cutting my teeth" on landscape. When I really get into it, I take the monster down and put in on my oak easel. It is 50 x60 inches..I stretched it for one of my art classes at Harvard and have since over painted it with this scene in progress. I rarely paint landscapes now, my agenda is to paint daily and still life just seems to be the best way for me to learn fast and paint daily--right in my home. I few years ago I painted a number of huge landscapes for theater sets. I have also done much smaller landscape paintings in the past.

"Dad's Shaving Brush" by Sandra Galda


"Dad's Shaving Brush" by Sandra Galda
6"x6" oil on raymar canvasboard

This is my dad's shaving brush, part of a set that includes a matching cup. The foaming soap is still in it, even though he has been gone 13 years now. I keep it in my bathroom cupboard to remind me of him! Thought I should include it today to complement yesterday's post of my mom's German mementos-she has been gone 20 years this December. Holidays, though special, have never been the same without them! If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.
