Cherry Tree

First Plein Air of 2012. 8x10 Oil done at Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio. It was so fantastically beautiful and warm. It has now turned cold with frost again tonight but will try to paint tomorrow afternoon. Supposed to be 55 degrees but hoping for a little more warmth than that.
I have been working in the yard for the last three days getting my garden ready. Did more than usual as it was cool enough to stay out and finish. I usually get overheated chopping, pulling , cutting! Mowed the lawn as some of it was a foot high.
Also found out one of my favorite paintings, "Abandoned", well, that house was torn down. So sorry as I wanted it to paint it again.
Found out today also that my Painting of the Longhorn portrait I did was reprinted and sold on Fine Art America. I am happy happy today.

Winter Splendor/Red Leaves in Winter Sold!

I was thrilled to find this painting sold at the Cafe on Main. I went in to change out my paintings and found this had sold. It was so much fun to do and I think I should do more Yupo paintings. I realize I haven't been blogging but have been painting and am working on a 16x20 oil which is taking me some time. I may post the progress as I have photoed the process. This painting that sold can be reproduced at Fine Art America. www.judy-fischer-walton.artistwebsites.com

Painting Tools

This is a painting I did for our Brush and Palette club project for a board of painting tools paintings to be displayed at Kingwood Center this Spring. It had to have some red in it and it had to be 8x10. And I had to finish it as I need the oil paints that were in the still life!!

Early morning Holsteins

8x10 oil. Done from a photo taken by me in Southern Ohio. Inspired by the black and white against the greens and hills.

Bulldog pup

I have been waiting for the sun to get a good photo. This was done from a photo of my nephew's pup. Fun to do with all the colors in a white dog. Lately I am loving doing these pets. Will have to do some cats. It is an 8x10 oil.

Blowin in the Wind

I have been wanting to do a painting of clothes hanging on the line. This is from a photo I took at the Elderhostel at Malabar Farm in Ohio. I cropped the picture way down to do the backyard with the clothesline. I probably spent more time on what clothes I wanted hanging on the line. I really enjoyed this painting and was inspired by the tree colors.

A dog named Annie

Finished this painting of my brother and sister-in-law's dog, Annie. She is a labradoodle. I love her silky coat. This is an 8x10 oil.
