On A Sunday church painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

On A Sunday church painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

This is a church painting facing out of the picture however with the size of the building and the small 7x5 canvas panel it was hard to prevent this but I think with the fence and the road I was able to lead the eye back in. I am really enjoying my time at the easel. I set my alarm to get up at 5 am so I can have quiet time to paint uninterrupted by life. I do find it hard to stay awake late at night which I wish I could do also. Oh well! for today my strategy is working for me. Hope your day is good.

I know that this is a little different than what I usually paint. I am pushing values. I made a value scale yesterday and need more practice so I thought what a better way to play with values with a light cow and a light background. 5x7 cow painting with oil on a canvas panel.

I love painting boats although sometimes I struggle with them. This one I must say I am pretty pleased with. I like how I was able to push the third boat to the back and make it read well. Hope you like....7x5 oil painting on canvas panel.

My shadows are a little dark but I chose to leave them that way. That is the great thing about painting is that I can decide what to add and what to leave out. Sometimes I make good decisions sometimes not but no matter.....Today is a good day.
