Waterworks Oil Painting Class

I am back in oil painting class at Waterworks Art Studio! Here are my first three paintings. I have always enjoyed painting landscapes more then still lifes, but now I am starting to appreciate still lifes. I am learning a considerable amount by painting subjects that are slightly out of my comfort zone - this bowl of fruit included.

The shed painting is an 8x10. I enjoyed painting on a smaller scale! I particularly like the propane tanks - very quaint! I might have to paint more landscapes with propane tanks. A landscape can't take itself too seriously if it includes a propane tank in the subject matter.
