Tribute to Monet "dark waters"

Aceo "Asian Influence"

This little painting was painted in between my commissions. They are rather tedious so its nice just to paint for painting sake. I love the rich thick color of oil sometimes.

Watercolor will always be my favorite but sometimes its nice to just paint without too much forethought.

I'm painting a child's portrait right now and if you want to check it out go to http://h20color.wordpress.com

Ocean Blue "A tribute to the Earth"

When I paint these oil paintings with a palette knife I always try to keep the colors clean while allowing them to blend. I thought to put in the sky some lavender right at the Horizon line, but didn't because I wanted to upload this photo and didn't make the changes because the paint was just a bit too wet and it would have looked stiff.
