Picasso Galore!


Yes, I love painting Picassos. I think I most like the paintings with distinct outlines and bold colors so that it's easy for me to project it onto a canvas and paint it in. The ones I've done require little to no layering of paint...but what little I have done I have liked. It can be a little difficult with acrylic since it dries so quickly, but I'm scared of oils at the moment; perhaps that will be a goal of mine - to venture into the world of oil painting. At least I'll give it a try...

These two are hanging in the unfinished side of the basement, in our workout area. The one on the left is a portion of the Still Life with Pitcher and Fruit, enlarged and tilted; the other is another still life, whose name escapes me at the moment. These were my very first paintings after my friend Lia taught me her technique - I'm hooked!
