Newly married for 25 years

:) This is a commission I was asked to paint as a present for a 25th wedding anniversary. Here You can see both: the original photo and the photo of the painting. It was somewhat a challenge to do colors in the painting as the 25 years old photo does not the same detail as the 16 mega pixel digital photo... but it definitely was fun:) I really hope that the couple depicted have a great marriage and likes the painting:).

More colors

As a response to my last post on my favorite colors- I decided to do a paintings with different / happier colors:

Save the Rhino,
Acrylic on canvas

I still used the ultramarine blue as the darkest color on the palette, but introduced some yellows and reds as well. Hope You like it:)

Favorite colors for paintings

Do you have favorite colors that You use in your paintings??? I do! I never new it would be these colors:

1. Oil: Paynes gray, Burnt sienna and Titanum White
2. Acrylic: Ultramarine blue, Burnt Orange and White

The last two of my paintings are excellent examples of this: 

Gallop, Oil on canvas 30x43 

Little Angel, Acrylic on canvas, 30x40

Did You notice that they give a very similar result? That grayish feel- I like to think its more sophisticated :) and I hope its not boring :D 

Horses in Oil

Hi Dear Friends!

Felt like playing around with the paint a bit, as had a difficulty finishing one of my commissions. Do You ever get that urge of side tracking??? You know- when You should be doing something, but just feel like doing something totally different??? Anyway, that was the feeling that got me painting horses again!:)))

Here is the result:

Have a fantastic day!!!

Going black & white again

This is my latest painting in black & white.

Acrylic on canvas, 18x24inch
