Small Vase with Yellow

Small Vase with Yellow by Sandra Galda
7"x5" oil on Gesso board
I tried to keep the most saturated color on the flower. It is raining out again, but after sending time painting this yellow flower it seems I have had some sunshine!

The Edge of Cup (NA)



The photo on this cup is too fuzzy...will have to get a better shot. Today is my Sound of Music painting day....when I am oulining some large expanses of flats for a high school musical production. I will post pictures thru the process, hopefully later today. I worked next to a very nice artist during the workshop and we just exchanged links to our blogs...a first for me! Her art blog can be found by clicking here or look to my blog list on the right side of this page listed under other blogs I follow. more later ...


Ok, so here is the set. I just got home and I am tired. I drew it on the flats with charcoal and then solidified the correct lines with dark acrylic paint with a brush. Now the kids will fill in the "coloring book" with really big crayons...I mean small size rollers with Opps paint. Then I hope to get a chance to finish it over with some sprayed on shadows to give it some modeling, shading ect. Only three more this size to go! The show is this Thursday...... By the way, another wonderful artist contacted me from the Carol Marine workshop and we also exchanged links to our blogs, her name is Karen Brunson.

Workshop exercise: Green Apple

Green Apple by Sandra Galda
Oil on gessoboard 6"x6"
I have learned so much in the Carol Marine workshop, and met many wonderful and talented artists there! We explored many concepts that artists must grapple with in order to produce attractive significant small paintings. If anyone would like to see the artblog of Carol Marine, click here ! I have been out of town since last Thursday through late Sunday night and only posted drawings and one painting. Since gettting back home I have been taking a three day workshop. Therefore, if you are visiting my blog for the first time, look thru my previous posts to see my work completed before the above mentioned happy interruptions.

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.....

Apple On The Side by Sandra Galda (NA)

Apple On The Side by Sandra Galda
5"x7" oil on gesso bord
My advice to my daughter who is sick at home from school today was "an apple a day..." 5"x7" oil on gesso board. By the way, she opted instead for Campbell's chicken noodle soup. Maybe I should paint that sometime....wait..... :)

Three Strawberries (NA)

I worked on this 8"x10" image again, started it a while ago. I always find the seeds are really challenging, best solved with a simple approach.
