LOBSTER BISQUE by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
Lobster Bisque ..... is there a better soup? I had this wonderful delicacy in Portland, Oregon at Higgins. The fragrance of the lobster, cream, sherry and a hint of garlic was enticing. I thought of this soup when Some Texas Artists Like to Paint offered this month's challenge, "Fragrance." Please take a minute and look how other artists have interpreted fragrance.

READING by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
This painting was done from a photograph of a young man reading in a hotel lobby. He looked very comfortable and was totally engrossed in his book. Thankfully, my camera did not break his concentration. I decided to concentrate just on the shapes in the painting with as little detail as possible. I am submitting to this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.

FACE NO. 74 by Linda Popple
I loved painting her big hair. There was so much of it and it appeared to be long, too. I began to think of her getting up the morning of the day she was arrested, putting on her make-up and fixing her hair. Did she have any idea that by the end of the day she would be facing a camera in a police station? I would assume she didn't, however I just continued to wonder how her day began and then progressed into this mug shot.

FACE No. 71 by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of my new computer. I know that it will eventually be second nature, but I have to say I really miss the familiarity of my old one. This one is just a little different and so it continues to be a learning experience.
I have fallen behind in my painting, too. I don't know why things have all of a sudden become so busy. It happens sometimes, but for the most part I have not let it interfere with my art. I hope that by next week I will be back in my old routine. :-)
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!

FACE No. 70 by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
This was painted on a red acrylic ground. You can see some of the red peeking through in places. I also tried to use as few brushstrokes as possible, which is not an easy exercise. It is so easy to overwork a painting. I'm pleased with the result.
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Another mugshot and another fun painting. I played with color and went for as little detail as I could comfortably get away with.

I think this will be my last mug shot for a while, as I am going to be working on basics. My intention is to reach 100, but there certainly is no hurry in doing this. There is lots of study ahead of me and I am really excited about it. Hope everyone had a wonderful week-end and Mother's Day! Mine was fantastic!! :-D

FIESTA CUP and SAUCER by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
I painted this on a red acrylic ground, which I have done before and enjoy it. I like the bits and pieces of the red peeking through. This cup and saucer was found at a flea market and it is original Fiesta Ware and therefor can not be used for drinking as it contains lead. So it is perfect for a still life!
DO SOMETHING CREATIVE THIS WEEK-END!!
HAVE FUN!

HITCHCOCK CHARACTER 2
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
This is the same Alfred Hitchcock character as painted in my previous post. I wanted to add color and I painted on a smaller board with a red underpainting and a slightly different composition. Again, this was so enjoyable to paint!

FACE No. 60 by Linda Popple
4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
I used a red acrylic ground for this painting and I like the effect it adds with touches of red peeking through. I had such a good time painting him! With 60 mug shots now under my belt I still enjoy painting these faces.

Daily Paintworks always provides a good challenge each week. I always want to participate in each and every one, but that seems impossible for me. However, this week I took on the challenge and painted this apple. It was really fun! To learn more about Daily Paintworks and their challenges click HERE. To view my blog click HERE.
And just in case you are stressed, instead of eating an apple ..........
HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK-END!!!!
