This brings to mind some of my sister Sue's paintings - the subject and the shadow! Your palette is so earthy and rich, and there is a wonderful mystery to this piece. Terrific! I love these forays of yours, when you zoom in on objects.
I really like this towel. I don't know how many times I've thought of painting my towel but never did, you are a man of action, and it came out so well.
Welcome to my daily painting blog.Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.
If you see it, like it, think you might want to own it, click the purchase link "I want this" beneath the painting. You'll be taken to Paypal's secure server to complete a simple credit card transaction. (Please note: You do not have to be a Paypal member to purchase. )
About Me
Don Gray
I must like extremes. Having painted many murals that cover the sides of large buildings, now I find myself doing daily paintings that fit in the palm of a hand. Truth is, large or small, I don't care. With a brush in my hand and something to paint on, I'm happy.
I've drawn and painted nearly all my life. Earliest inspirations came from the landscape of my childhood in rural Oregon. I lived many years in the Pacific Northwest, later spent five years in Arizona and seven in California. Recently my wife Brenda and I have returned to the Oregon valley where we used to live.
I've always felt nurtured and sustained by my relationship with the land and the light of the West.
My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the
United States. I've also taught, painted numerous indoor and outdoor
murals and illustrated over twenty books.

Oh! And it's OK for you to throw in the towel - just don't kick the bucket!

HA, thanks, Martha. I'll do my best to follow your advice!
I love Sue's watercolors. She can really bring humble objects to luminous life.

Simple yet elegant.. I can see why this one's going in the mail.
Many thanks, Bill.
