inspired by: Charmaine Olivia

 

I did this copy of a Charmaine Olivia painting the other night.  I wanted to get a feel for her delicious, fresh colors and fluid brushwork.  I did my version in acrylic, the brush strokes are dryer than the original.

Cleaning the Skies

This sky was darkened by decades of dust and grime.  It lightened considerably by the time I was finished.

This painting was severely yellowed from being in a smoker's home.

                       

Mid- Cleaning

I took this picture after a small section was cleaned.  It's always exciting to see what is beneath the dirt, grime and old varnish.
