Fine Art by Candy Prather. Friday, October 1, 2010. 14"x11" oil on canvas. This was, of course one of my most memorable of trips. While I was there, I picked up a book, Australia's Wilderness. I picked it up again a few weeks ago and chose to paint these birds. I hope you like them. Let me know! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fine Art America Slideshow. Oil paintings for sale.

Pencil Portraitworks: In Honor of Vincent
http://pencilportraitworks.blogspot.com/2009/03/in-honor-of-vincent.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. In Honor of Vincent. Since Vincent van Gogh's. Birthday is coming up on March 30, I did some research on the Web. And found some interesting information about his life. Vincent was born in 1853 in Holland. He would be celebrating his 156 th. Birthday- imagine blowing out all those candles on his birthday cake! Vincent's father was a Reverand. In the Protestant church. During a stay at an insane asylum, he painted one of his most famous paintings, "The Starry Night". If you're re...

Pencil Portraitworks: Drawing of An Old House--Part 4--Finale!
http://pencilportraitworks.blogspot.com/2009/03/drawing-of-old-house-part-4-finale.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. Drawing of An Old House- Part 4- Finale! Ok, here's the finished Old House pencil drawing. I added in some shading that would suggest trees around the building, deepened some shadows and added a bit more foreground ground areas. I had a lot of fun drawing this old home, since it was my first architectural drawing. Together with the fact that I was drawing on watercolor paper, I was brand new at this type of drawing and in the method that I used. So, what do you think?

Pencil Portraitworks: My Latest Drawing--Puddin
http://pencilportraitworks.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-latest-drawing-puddin.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. My Latest Drawing- Puddin. This is my mother-in-law's kitty, Puddin, which I just finished. She's a long-haired cat and is a medium to lighter gray with a caramel tone with some white. I had a lot of fun drawing this one in 2B and HB graphite and on smooth bristol board. I did lots of layering, but I'm pretty happy with the end result and I might give it my mom-in-law for Mother's Day, since Puddin is her baby (in a sense). April 8, 2009 at 12:13 PM.

Pencil Portraitworks: Drawing of An Old House--Part 3
http://pencilportraitworks.blogspot.com/2009/03/drawing-of-old-house-part-3.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Drawing of An Old House- Part 3. Here in this photo, I've added more shadow tones and some more detailing. Like I mentioned, I wanted to achieve an "aged" look. I think this is going well on the watercolor paper that I have chosen to draw on this time. I've placed more detail in and around the windows and doors, etc. I have also roughed in some ground around the house, which anchors it to the ground, so that it doesn't appear to be floating in mid air.

Pets To Posies: July 2011
http://petstoposies.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 30, 2011. Versions (not higher resolution) of the ones sent - very pixelated and worse than the originals. I guess I'm a sucker since I said I'd TRY to do this portrait. This is a favorite client and she's commissioning it for a friend of hers who just lost this cat. So many people think an artist can look at bad reference photos and immediately paint a superior portrait. Fortunately, this client is not like that but she would still like a miracle, of course. I know, I know, I could have r...

Pets To Posies: A Flower for my Daughter
http://petstoposies.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-flower-for-my-daughter.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. A Flower for my Daughter. Well here I am again. I wanted to post the Tiare flower I just finished and to publicly thank Mr. Troy McKaskle for allowing me to use his photos as painting references. You can click on the photo to see it larger. I painted this in oils using a grisaille. A grisaille is the entire painting done first in shades of gray (NOT 50 of them this time! OK, back into hibernation in the studio as I've been painting up a storm since I got my mojo back! Will yo...
