Jazz Saxophone Player

-


This is painting of jazz saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter is an 18" x 24" original acrylic painting on canvas.

I have wanted to return to the subject of the saxophone in a painting for some time and hoped to this time include it being played. I also wanted to experiment with painting different surfaces - like metal and glass. My technique for this painting was to paint and underpainting using dark purple and white. 

Once I had my tones set and the underpainting completely finished. I glazed over the base painting with thin layers of paint. I used sap green, has a yellow, burnt sienna, Prussian blue and pyrrole red glazing to finish it out.

Lovebugs vary in length from one quarter to one third inch. Lovebugs do not sting or bite, but they do make a mess on motorist's windshields! read more at Floridian nature

Alaskan Red Fox

-
Image
The red fox has the appearance of a small dog and weighs from 10 to   15 pounds and measures up to 2 feet long with another foot for a bushy tail. The end of the tail is black, tipped with white. The Red Fox is most commonly a rusty red, with white underbelly, black ear tips and legs, and a bushy tail usually with a distinctive white tip. The "red" tone can vary from dark chestnut to golden. Because the gray fox  frequently has quite a lot of red hair, it may be confused with the red fox. The red fox is   essentially a nocturnal animal, but it occasionally feeds during the day, and more at dawn and dusk.  read more
