Red Horse by Linda Snider Ward

Red Horse is a very small oil painting on a 5" x 7" canvas greeting card. I've been having fun with these greeting cards, making quick sketches in oil and allowing myself to work gesturely without detail.

Panda Snack, Sold

I think we all love Pandas. They are so appealing. My husband is especially fond of them. In fact, he had a Panda costume that he wore on Mardi Gras for many years.

White Horse Running by Linda Snider Ward

This is my first posting to Daily Painters of Louisiana! White Horse Running is an 18" x 30" oil painting on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Da Juice

I started this with a nectarine instead of the orange. After wiping it twice, and getting very discouraged, I decided to switch to the orange. And it quickly came together. I realized that the nectarine had been too busy and contrasty and was distracting from the glass. The orange worked much better.

We're Home

I needed a little break from things in glass. What better break than cows.

Rosemary and Lemon

I was amazed to discover the wide variety of martinis people make these days. Not being much of a drinker, I had no idea.
I found the softness and subtle tonal shifts very different from my usual subject matter. It made for an interesting challenge.

Dry Idea

I had so much fun ... well after I got over the agonizing part ... painting the last one I decided to start a new series. I don't know how many there will be, but I'm calling it Things in Glass. Which makes for many possibilities. One of the fun things to do with things in glass is to add a liquid, in this case a martini. The refraction of the liquid lets you see what's in it from the top and the side at the same time!

Glass Houses, Sold

It was time to paint another still life.  It had been so long, I was afraid I had forgotten how. To make it just a little more difficult for myself, I picked this glass cup that has given me fits in the past. Naturally, it wasn't going too well, miserably in fact. When I wiped it down I was almost ready to just give up, but I didn't let myself off that easy. Nope, I stuck with it, and sure enough it paid off. I was able to figure out what I was not doing that I needed to do, and after a while it began to come together. Now I can't wait to do another one.
