Color Landscape Painting with Building - By the Artist
This color painting on canvas is called, Building in Landscape. I liked the warm building contrasted against the cool green grass and trees. I also liked the warm path that leads into the painting. The form and cast shadows are on the left side of the painting. The sunlight is radiating from the right side. The plane of the building facing toward the right side of the canvas is the local color. This building is a cube form with a wedge form on top. The edges of the building’s planes are abrupt. The edges are not smooth and gradated as you would see in spheres, cylinders and cones. The building is in 2 point linear perspective. I particularly liked the yellow green color in the foreground.

Analysis of My Still Life Painting, "Rose, Vase, Gourds & Pumpkins"
I did this painting, Rose, Vase, Gourds and Pumpkin, a number of years ago. Like many still life paintings, it has a triangular compositional structure. The rose is at the top of the triangle, the most important position. The painting has a dominant cool temperature and a dominant light value. The form shadow on the left gourd and the front right gourd are similar in value and create one shape. The form shadow on the pumpkin and the form shadow on the right gourd are also similar in value. These values help maintain unity in my painting. There is color bounce from several objects. The light is from the left side. The painting shows the modeling of forms, i.e. sphere, cylinders.
