Live Oak, Ocean Isle, Sunset, acrylic, 36x18, sold

My favorite live oak at the beach set infront of a sunset. I learned a lot and need to do more. I am a chicken when I paint. It would have been easier if I had done the basics, glazed with the sunset reds and oranges, and then added details. But it seeme to take a lot to get it the way I want it. I have also been able to see my faults better when looking at a painting on my computer. Amazing how that works for me.

Comment by Richard Robinson on July 27, 2011 at 14:09: :-) Awesome! Congratulations Deb - every sale is good reason to celebrate being an artist.

Comment by deb hill on July 4, 2011 at 12:22: Got it, photos(at the top of the page) come in cronologically

Comment by deb hill on July 4, 2011 at 12:04: Thanks. Always wild to chat with the other side of the world! I will see if I can figure it out.

Comment by Richard Robinson on July 4, 2011 at 11:59: hmm, not sure. There is an RSS feed available in the right hand column. I'm not sure what content that would send you though.

Comment by deb hill on July 4, 2011 at 11:45: PS. How do I know when someone else has posted a new painting???

Comment by deb hill on July 4, 2011 at 11:44: Thanks, Richard. The grapevine is still sitting hidden away in the house. Waiting for the wine dinner at the Cafe to bring it out of hiding. One painting that sold was the beach with clouds at sunset. Don't believe that I posted the other, a rusty looking car silk painting. Kind of sad rigth now because this month is so hecktic that I may not be able to paint. :c Blessings! Deb
