"Wily Wasp"....16" x 20" oil on linen canvas
I began this painting by creating a very detailed, grisaille underpainting, upon which I then applied many thin glazes of color.

About Me
- Bill
- Glendale, Arizona, United States
- I am an artist working in oils and watercolors. I have been painting for over 25 years. I have a BS degree in industrial education, and over 40 years as a color separator in the lithographic trade, where I worked on copy cameras, scanners, and, more recently, in Photoshop, and now I am retired from that vocation. I also taught color theory and application at Arizona State University. I enjoy painting, and all my subjects are for sale, unless marked "SOLD." I recently resigned from teaching an oil painting class at a local recreation center, which I did for 9 years, but I still offer private lessons on my glazing technique. I am a conservative, American, Capitalist sort of an artist, and today we have a blithering idiot as President of this United States of America, in the form of Sleepy Joe Biden! He is truly the worstt president I've experienced in my lifetime, and I lived through most of WWII ! Best wishes to our past president, Donald Trump, with sincere hopes that he runs for President once more, so that we may experience the excellence, and common sense that we realized under his administration!! williamfmartin@cox.net Bill Martin ___________________________

ReplyDeleteI love this!!!
I just came over from Wet Canvas. I have been reading many of your contributions to that site, including answering my "oil ground" questions. Smile. This is a lovely piece. The depth and detail given to the painting is wonderful. Regards, ScientistChic
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteI love this!! I enjoy macro photography when I'm not painting and recently took some pictures of red wasps chewing the wood from my back deck.
ReplyDeleteI figured letting them have a little of my deck was a small price to pay to keep them occupied as I slooooowly got my lense 3 inches away. ��
This painting, like all of yours is just delightful!
