Coffee Pot and Blue Bowl / still life oil painting

I had a request for another coffee pot painting so I got kinda carried away with this still life today. I worked on it for about ten hours. ( including breaks ) Back to my alley houses tomorrow. SOLD

5th and Chester

This alley is so steep that the pavement is rutted where rear bumbers have been scraping it.
The shadows on the white building drew my attention to this scene. SOLD

Bremerton Alley House

Heres the Bremerton alleyhouse in progress . I'm hopeing it will dry enough to hang on Tuesday....... Ya. right....Sold

Alley House

I'm going to start a series of paintings inspired by Bremerton alley houses. I work alot in the back alleys of side streets in Bremerton WA. Always lots of interesting structures and people, with the shipyard close by and Bremerton going through this retro renaissance. Young familys are fixing up the old craftsman style houses. The waterfront is being renovated and the arts district is expanding.

King Street Station

I'm posting a work in progress, since I spent most of the weekend framing for two shows coming up in February. This is a view from inside the train station in Seattle. Its a different subject for me and I have found this painting very challenging. I have it set aside and work on it between other paintings.

Pears with Vase. oil still life painting

I never had red pears before , they are delicious! SOLD

Farm off Pugh Road

I'm starting to really like these winter scenes in oil. This is one you see out of the corner of your eye driving down the road. Brakes screech, dirt flies and your jumping out of your truck to capture the light and the moment in time. Sometimes your late for work. Sometimes you barely miss getting hit by another car. Sometimes your batteries are dead in your camera.... and sometimes.... you get a painting. Sold

Coffee Pot with Apple, reworked , oil

I reworked this painting, changed the background and added some chroma to the apple which kinda throws off the color in the reflection but I think I'm done with it. This painting will be in the Treehouse show in February. For those of you who can come, it will be at the Treehouse Cafe in Lynnwood center on Bainbridge island for the whole month of February 07. Its a great place to have lunch or coffee. SOLD

Bledsoe Farm landscape/ oil painting

I added a picture in the begining stages of this painting, thinking it would be interesting to see the foundation, which is gesso with a wash of Venetian Red I think. This painting is SOLD

Bledsoe Farm Truck: 11x14 oil painting

Got back to work in the studio this weekend so I will have some paintings to post for a few days. This old chev truck sits at a farm near to my house. I did some work there this week and took alot of pictures. It has been way too cold to paint outside lately,but I hope the fridged atmosphere reads in the painting. I'll be working in oil for awhile now getting ready for a show in February. This painting is for sale for $150.00 SOLD

Bainbridge Boats

This painting is sold. Bainbridge Island is a favorite painting destination for me. SOLD

I'm going to post some older work untill I get rolling again. Most of these pieces are still for sale. some are framed. For more information email me at robinweiss@earthlink.net Thanks for hangin in there with me.

Coffee Pot with Apple : oil, still life

Hopefully I have kept this painting fresh. I kept dinking around with the apple. I'm not done with it yet, I still have the still life set up in the studio. Also I took pictures in the prosess which I will post Sunday. I'm thinking about changing the background.

Copper teapot:still life,oil painting

This is the only painting I have completed this weekend, but I did have some great fellowship with good friends. God has blessed me richly in so many ways and I am thankful. I look forward to the opportunities that this new year will bring to bless others. Happy New Year! SOLD

Christmas Poinsettia 2 : dailly painting

I broke one of the stems off my poinsettia while I was trying to water it.. well, trying to get the wrap off the pot so I could water it. Thanks Lori for the idea of just putting a hole in the paper... duh.. I wish I would have checked my comments first. Anyhow I stuck it in my favorite blue vase and it looked pretty good so... another painting. One of these days I'm going to post all the paintings I have done with this vase in them, about five or six now. SOLD

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Poinsettia: dailly painting

Got the most beautiful poinsettia. couldn't help but paint it , before all the leaves fall off. I have terrible effects on these plants. as soon as they enter my house, they start looking like they are receiving chemo treatments. Doesn't matter where I put them, or what I do, pretty soon ,just a stick and a pot.

Porch Cat, daily painting

I tryed to add a cat to this porch painting. I don't know if it works very well. The cat kinda looks like an afterthought idea, which it was.

Indian Ponies

This past weekend, Fri, Sat and Sunday we were in White Swan WA. working on the Yakima Indian Reservation. Rising Light Ministry, headed by Briggs Macon is building a house for a Native American family whose house burned down five years ago. Since loosing their home they have been living in a haybale house with limited facilities. This is a view from the reservation done last summer.

Alder tree study: daily painting

Alder trees grow like weeds here in the Northwest. They grow best in wet areas and have bark similar to birch. This is a watercolor study of one.

Kiwis: watercolor ,still life,

Moonlight Snow: daily painting, winter landscape

I almost tossed this painting and then I added the falling snow and it somehow pulled it togeather for me, but I have been staring at it for too long. I would love a critique from some kind soul. SOLD

Shadow Fire: daily painting, winter landscape

Well the snow is gone. All melted away. It stayed longer than usual here in the Pacific Northwest and its a good thing. I almost ran off the road a few times looking at scenes I couldn't take my eyes off of. So I will work from some pictures for now... Never without my handy digital.SOLD

Lincoln Rd Farm: daily painting,winter landscape

You drive by a place everyday and hardly notice its there. Then it snows and the stage is set and the scene is spectacular. All you can do is attempt to render the fleeting beauty of the moment, like a quick praise to God.

Track Red:daily painting,abstract

Another installment of the "Outside the Box" series. Gotta do something with that leftover paint. Actually I think there is a paradigm shift happening in my artistic thought processes........or not. I don't know, I'm just thinking alot more about abstract design.
