In Process: Bear Story

In Process: Bear Story by Sandra Galda

16"x20" oil on masonite

I started this painting today with the idea of commemorating my German heritage. It is enjoyable to paint beautiful and sentimental objects. The German bear, possibly a Steiff bear, is pretty old as is the teacup. They belonged to my grandmother, then my mother, and now they are entrusted to me. I have lots more work to do on this one, check back! If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.

Late Summer Rose by Sandra Galda (sold)

4"x4" oil on gessoboard

Sorry I caught the clip in this evening painting, hope to show a better exposure photo tomorrow without the clip! This is one of the only roses blooming in our late summer yard. We did not get lush flower growth this year because of all the rainfall. I have hopes for next summer and I am thinking extra doses of miracle grow....

Squash Preparation (NA)

Squash Preparation by Sandra Galda (NA)

11"x14" approx. oil on masonite

This is pretty much done now. I see areas that I could still work on further, now that I have taken a picture and posted. I may continue with this later. There is a time at the end of a large painting where I find myself putting in highlights, dark notes, and adjusting details. It is sort of like putting on earrings. These details really finish an outfit...I mean a painting! So fun. If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Red Market Pears (sold)

Red Market Pears (after greeting card art by Elizabeth Brandon, 2004)

by Sandra Galda

30"x36"

(sold)

Today's post is a painting I created while I was looking at a beautiful greeting card I own. My own version of Elizabeth Brandon's beautifully painted pears was copied in oil by me, without any artificial reproducing means-I just set the card up, looked at it, and painted it, as if it was a real still life set up. I used this exercise to learn to refine my work. Today another wonderful artist I love to follow, just happened to include such an exercise in his daily post, his name is Qiang Huang, Check out his blog (click on his name), he explains the artsit custom of painting after a famous artist for personal training.
