Painting # 106 - I didn't use really thick paint on this painting, which I think works better with the resin.

Painting #105 - A continuation of my flowers series. I've learned that maybe its not such a good idea to paint thickly if I want to use the resin. I love the shiny finish!

Painting #104 - I thought I'd create 8 flower paintings for Beacon Original Art's next show. I wanted my paintings to be loose with thick paint. I used photoshop to manipulate my pictures. I also wanted to try, for the first time, using Resin - the glass-like finish that's so shiny. I'm happy with my results.

Painting #103 - I continue my exploration of the landscape despite my difficulties. I'm hoping one day those leaves will come to me intuitively.

Painting #102 - This painting was so hard - I really need to start getting myself reference photos.

Painting #101 - This was a fun painting but it would have been a lot easier had I had a photo. I just liked the idea of the birch trees on a big canvas and I wanted to project the feeling of a calm, warm summer day in the woods.
