Doughnut, Doughnut

Doughnut, Doughnut

6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas    

$100 unframed (no frame necessary)

You know, these doughnuts seemed to paint themselves.  Sometimes a successful painting just doesn't hassle the artist, no areas require major reworking, everything you do just seems to work.  And how fitting that these doughnuts, soft and sweet and tender, were that kind of subject.  Forget life drawing.  I think doughnuts, raised, glazed, filled, old fashioned... could be a class of still life subject I could see myself coming back to again and again.  Shout out to @dennispfeil and @alaiganuza for this great prompt as part of their weekly #foodpaintchallenge on Instagram.

Winter Along the Ammonoosuc

Winter Along the Ammonoosuc

8 in. x 10 in., acrylic on traditional-depth canvas

When friends got away for a little ski trip up to the White Mountains here in New Hampshire, Izzy took a photo of Cristiane standing in her boots and winter woolies by the snow-covered shore of the Ammonoosuc River near Bretton Woods.  As soon as I saw the shot of the muted greens of the skinny spruce and fir trees receding into the distance on the other shore, I knew I wanted to paint it what I was seeing and asked for permission to paint from their picture.
