"Hold On"

"Hold On" by Sandra Galda

16"x20" oil on canvas

I found out today that my painting "Hold On" was juried into a spring member's show at the Newburyport Art Association. It will hang in their gallery for viewing and sale most of April.  Check out the NAA web site here.  A slight fracture to my wrist while rollerskating with daughter's high school has slowed me down a little in the art department--it sure hurts. I have a hand /wrist brace with velcro straps to stabilize my wrist movement while it heals--I can still draw and paint.  "Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do" -Edgar Degas.  Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

I started this new painting today, tried to quickly put the value relationships down and approximate the color while working fast.  I dont know if the flowers will hold out for me to bring this one to completion.  but it is good exercise to attempt!  If interested in purchasing this, or any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.

Apples slices are fun to paint.  Now this one also has a pay pal button.  Below the "Apple Slices" I am including the large painting I finished last month , one of two that was juried into the Newburyport Art Association's Fall Show and sale.  I was informed that this one above received the oil painting award.  I am so grateful and so happy!  If interested in purchasing this, or any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.

Spent more time tonight working on this image. It is taking on a nice finished look, but more to work on --such as the buttons on the dial.  I can remember using a phone like this with a real turning dial, it was my grandmother's.  If interested in purchasing this or any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.
