The size of this one is a little different than I've done before. I think it turned out pretty well.

"O" glass marble and block - 8" x 10" oil

(click here to bid) or check other auctions

Here is another "tight" detail painting. I struggled with the title on this one. I was going to call it "2 bee..." but I couldn't tell if the critter on the side of the block was a butterfly or a bee. So I settled on a simple "O". Enjoy!

Clouds - 16" x 20" oil

This is larger than I usually do. I needed to take a break from the "tight" detail work of my smaller paintings and loosen up and use big brushes on a big canvas. Enjoy!

I picked up some antique marbles earlier this year. This is a painting of two of them. I like the way the image in the clear marble is reversed and upside down. The nicks and scratches in the marble add interest.

Well, here's the finished painting. Like I mentioned earlier, this is quite a bit larger than my normal paintings. I enjoyed the process of going large. It's different than doing a smaller painting. While working on smaller paintings I can spend all of my time sitting at the easel. With a large painting I kept having to get up, walk across the room to look at the progress. When you're close to this painting, it looks kind of like an abstract. You see just shapes and colors, but when you get across the room, it all comes together and looks pretty realistic. Enjoy.

Going large..............

I'm working on a much larger painting than I usually do. This one is 18" x 24". I'm not sure how long it's going to take so I though I would post some progress shots. Here it is partially "blocked" in.

Here is the completed "block in". It's still pretty rough looking. My goal on the first pass is to just get the surface covered with color then go back over it to refine it. I will be posting this on ebay when it's complete. If you have any questions or would like to inquire about purchasing this before it goes on ebay just send me an email. jclapp@jclappart.com

Banana with glass bottle - oil - 8" x 10"

I decided to really tighten up on this one and paint it almost in a photo realistic style. I really like the way the glass distorts the banana and the way the light filters through the glass.

Enjoy.

About this painting: This is the second painting in a series called "Reflections". The subject is going to be the reflection in the object, not necessarily the object itself. It could be an interior scene, landscape, or something else. In this case the subject is a reflection of an American flag in front of one of our local schools. Enjoy!

Pencil drawing is something I did early in my art career. It's been a while since I had the pencils out. It was kind of nice to take a break from the paints and scrub some graphite on paper. Enjoy.

This is the first painting in a series called "Reflections". In this series the subject is going to be the reflection in the object and not necessarily the object itself. The reflections will not only be still life type scenes but you will see some outdoor scenes as well. This first one is of a pear sitting on a table. If you look close you can also see other things in the room, like chairs, the sun coming in through the window, and even a candleabra. Enjoy.

We went through a real hot humid spell here in Indiana a couple weeks ago. On this day the humidity dropped and the temperature was very comfortable. With the comfortable temps and the beautiful blue sky and puffy white clouds it was a great day.

This is a unique little glass. It is cup made from glass with silver coating on the inside. It was a little challenging due to the fact of painting the reflection from the silver but also it has glass characteristics, especially at the bottom of the cup.
