"Undercover Agent" 6x6" oil on canvas panel

As you can see, Special Operation's Officer, Lt. Frank Fork sits camouflaged in cool, dark shadows under the protection of a plate in this recent dragnet. He sat by undetected for days, carefully observing every move of this flashy duo perched overhead. It was reported, in the end, violence broke out leaving in its wake a juicy-blood bath.  

I'm sure you all thought I was the one who had died! It took me forever to find an opportunity to finish this painting. By the time I got back to it, the strawberry was covered in a disguise of mold and the watermelon was literally running off the plate trying to escape the scene. Gross! I ended up pitching it all in the trash and working from memory. Oh the trials of being a painter!
Thanks for viewing my painting!

"Misty Watermelon Memories"

"Misty Watermelon Memories" 6x6" Oil on canvas panel



This painting is my submission to DailyPaintWorks' "Upside Down" Challenge. We were given the photo above with instructions to paint it upside down from start to finish. No, I don't mean me hanging upside down painting, the photograph had to remain upside down. This technique was first introduced in the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." For some strange reason our left brains can't handle not being able to name and identify parts when things are upside down, so the submissive right brains steps in to take over. It's so much easier to draw and paint upside down. In fact I'll double-dog-dare you to try it sometime. You will find that literally everyone in the universe can draw amazingly better using this approach. I loved the way this turned out, once I was able to turn it right side up and see what I had painted. Those very cool reflections were really fun painting especially when you didn't even know they were reflections from upside down.

I am now offering FREE shipping within the U.S. on all paintings in my ebay store. These little paintings look great in groups of two or more and add interest and charm to an entry, kitchen, bath, sitting on a bookshelf, or other small areas.
