Description 12" x 24" Oil on canvas

The house was built in 2008 when granddaughter Michelle was born.  It is the hobnob of family activities.  In the front yard you can see some of my daughter-in-law's flowers but it is the backyard where she spends most of her time.  The backyard is filled with a variety of plants, trees, flowers and vegetables.  Because of this we have a lot of creatures who roam and live in our yard; mainly, squirrels, rabbits, and birds. An occasional dog or cat might get in but Moosh, the Chihuahua who thinks he's a Doberman Pincher, keeps them out ...

Hi:  I am just going to cover all replys

Your work is very good and varied.  I can tell that you have been doing this for some time.

So, thank you for favoring my attempts.   I currently trying to transfer some of them (at least the contours) to canvas ... and to try the next step, painting at least part of the originals. Teaching myself here without prior training... so sometimes a slow go (Modpodge it, grid it, graphite trace it, or etc.?).  I am set up to try some or all.  The thought, the feeling, the preparation, and now need the action and having the time.

So as to Pissarro, you might like this or file it if not  I gained a better appreciation for him through the following rather long video that I almost stopped within 5 minutes, )which is actually about 3 artists) ... but, ending up liking (downloaded it and transferred it to the Roku, watched on TV).  In it he demonstrates how Pissaro, Alfred Sisley, and Monet usually ended up approaching their work in the same way.  So just in case, it beats TV in my book:
The Impressionists online ,  see www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9ZpJe…

Regards,

Thank you for the info.  Van Gogh was more or less my teacher.  I would copy some of his paintings to learn his brush strokes.  I'm also self taught and once you start, you will love painting - it's quite satisfying.  Anyway, good luck on your paintings

Hi, A new year and now some new commitments. ... So I am here to shut my little down to the level of an online archive viewing site ...  Login only.  Maybe, just for a few weeks but, I presently do not have a time.

I did enjoy interacting with you  and I will miss that.   You paint well.  You have my best wishes going forward.  

Bye for now,
Franklin.

Thank you, Mario, and thank you so much for all the favs  The house is my son and daughter-in-law's.  Cyrus and I sold our home about two years ago and moved into the basement area of this home (in-law quarters).  It's perfect for us and in this way we're very close to the grandchildren
