Peter

Peter is a member of my church ward. I always find his look with the beard and long hair interesting to paint. I asked Peter before he cuts off his bread and hair (which he did after he had the look for awhile) that I would like to paint him.

Blue Horse in Sunlight

My painting friends and I headed to Wallsburg to do some Plein Air painting late last summer. There ended up being some scattered showers, and we spent some time driving around taking photos before we were able to paint. One location was really intriguing to me. The way the light was hitting the trees, and the backlit horse eating in the field. I knew I wanted to paint this scene, but the challenge would be getting the lighting right. I worked it and reworked it, trying to get the colors, values, and lighting correct. Being able to paint a horse blue was an added bonus, and a lot of fun.

Bird on a Watermelon

Bird on a Watermelon was a fun painting to do. The watermelon turned out to be a strong visual and I couldn't resist painting that bird with his expression. I didn't know if the viewer would think that the bird was just resting on the melon or thought it was trying to hatch it. The vibrant colors and quirky subjects are why this is one of my favorites of the show.

Emma - Navajo by Laura Romero

I was attending a Stake Conference in my church when I noticed Emma. She was with her son and husband when I noticed her turquoise earrings that she was wearing. After the meeting I went up to her and introduce myself as an artist and wanted to paint her. Emma smiled shyly and said that would be fine. Emma with her husband came to my home so that I can take pictures of her and make this painting.

Cantaloupe with Bird

Cantaloupe with Bird was fun to paint (after some frustrations) because of the different textures and surfaces. The metal spoon and white ceramic dish are both reflective. The lemons have a transparent quality with the light coming through and the cantaloupe looks nice and juicy. Then there are the birds feathers, which I didn't want to paint too tightly with every feather perfectly placed. It was fun to make him a bit more messy, like birds are. -Jenae Green
