"Country Cupboard", 12x16, oil on linen

"Country Cupboard", 12x16, oil on linen

This is an older painting that I took out and re-worked a bit yesterday. I had trouble photographing it, and am starting to think I need a lesson in photography! Since I bought a new camera a few months ago, I have not had much success photographing my artwork. I am using a Nikon Coolpix 14.1 megapixels. Weirdly, my old Kodak with only 6 megapixels seemed to do a better job and have more range of color. This camera seems to have a mind of its own and takes pictures randomly, even when I am not pressing the button. The pictures never seem right to me and do not do the artwork justice. The area in the center is always clear and the perimeter is fuzzy. I could really use some help, I don't even understand the menu!

Any suggestions anyone?

La Dolce Vita, Landscape of Tuscany

SOLD La Dolce Vita, 12 x16, oil on linen panel



Here's another painting that I did before the wedding and stuffed in my closet because I didn't like it very much. I added a couple strokes of paint to it yesterday with my trusty palette knife, and now I think it is quite presentable. La Dolce Vita means the sweet life in Italian, and I painted it in my typical warm homey colors because I love anything that is reminiscent of rustic countrysides, Tuscany, red poppies and fields that are abloom with God's eye candy.
