New and Old Paintings

Here are a few paintings I have been working on the past month.

Original 

This was  15 minute painting.  It is done in watercolor.

I was trying to achieve a fluid movement since the topic for March was "underwater".

It was not submitted because I did't quite like it.  I'm working on another one, we'll see.

This is a screen capture off Google maps the March topic was "Slovenia."

I found this woman on a bus and thought she would be a great subject.

This painting is done in oils.  I have de-cluttered the shot to achieve  better portrait.

It turned out pretty good.  Unfortunately, I could not submit it because she was in Croatia not Slovenia!  

 Llica 10000, Zagreb, Croatia     

What!!!!!!!

This is a 2' x 3' oil painting of my first grandchild, Brett.  I cannot put my hands on the photo.  I'm reworking it  bit to give it more detail.   I painted this when he was two years old (he is now 28) .

 That's all for now.  Hope you enjoy.
