"Rose of Sharon Blossom" oil sketch

"Rose of Sharon Blossom" oil sketch by Sandra Galda
6"x6" oil on gessoboard

I have been really busy this month and haven't painted many small paintings.  We just celebrated our anniversary a couple days ago and thought this special flower, seen in some of my outdoor wedding pictures, would make a good exercise in painting.  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. Small works are signed in full on the back of the painting. Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment! Paintings by Sandra Galda are copyrighted. Scroll down this page for more art!

"Oil sketch: Figure"

"Oil Sketch: Figure" (detail)  by Sandra Galda
8"x10"oil on cradled gessoboard

It is a real challenge to produce any 8x10 inch oil of a figure in only a couple of hours, I could have used many more hours on this one, but it is really good exercise to see what you can come up with under such constraints.  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.
