Flash $10 Sale - SOLD

You know how it goes, I get four or five paintings that don't sell, they accumulate, and I offer them at rock bottom prices. I can't go too much lower than $20, my usual price, but we'll try. (Sorry I can't offer free shipping too, but it just won't work.)

These are all $10 plus $7 shipping.

Another summery landscape.

Summer Marsh - SOLD

Summer Marsh
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD.

We have a perfect summer day here in Maryland.
This one feels like the day, crisp, sunlit, not too hot.
It's revised from a sky demo I did in class.

Trail through the Wheat Fields - SOLD

Trail through the Wheat Fields
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

I liked the reference photo for this one so much that I decided to use it for my meeting today with my private student. I've done it in oils before, but the acrylics turned out okay too.

Trail Away - SOLD

Trail Away
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Just as I was sitting down to paint this afternoon, a thunderstorm blew through, and we lost our power. I decided to tilt my easel to the dim light outdoors and kept painting. Not too bad for not having lights, though the colors are a bit off, predictably.

Impressionistic Flowers Two - SOLD

Impressionistic Flowers Two
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

As often happens, when someone sees a painting, but it's sold, and I do a second one, it just doesn't "sing" to them the way the first one did. I did this one today for a collector who liked yesterday's sketchy floral, but this one didn't sing to her. Maybe someone else will like it.

Two Summer Landscaps - SOLD

Summer Hillside
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Mountain Grasses
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I am pretty happy doing these summery landscapes right now. So you'll probably see a few more. Like the clouds and sky series, it feels good to concentrate on one genre for a bit.

Path on the Hill- SOLD

Path on the Hill
Oil on Canvas Pane, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

I am so thinking summer time. Doesn't this feel like June or July?

Impressionistic Flowers - SOLD

Impressionistic Flowers
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Someone from class requested "Impressionistic Flowers" last week, so this is what I came up with. The doing of it, with big brushes and swishes of paint, is not hard, but I'm expecting the "teaching" of it to be a little more tricky.

Field Sheds - SOLD

Field Sheds
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

Blogger and I are finally getting along again, thanks to my friend, PJ, a computer guru.
(Don't we need these talented folks!)
Nice to be able to post again.
Thanks, PJ!

Summer Stream - SOLD

Summer Stream
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

This is a repeat of the "Meandering Stream" from the other day, with a slightly different format.
I like this one too.

Meandering - SOLD

Meandering
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

Just a little landscape for today.

Clouds Reflected - SOLD

Clouds Reflected
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

I wanted to do "Serene" over in a larger size, but decided I wanted more water showing, so here's what I got. I like it, and it felt good to paint larger again.

Demo and Quiet Cove - SOLD

Demo, Marsh and Sky
Oil over Acrylic on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD.

This one was for showing how to do clouds over a dry sky, and I added the foreground at home. I like the colors in the water especially.

Quiet Cove
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
SOLD.

I loved the reference photos I used for this one, but in the execution.... well, let's just say that I'm considering scraping the entire thing to salvage the canvas. Once you've put in the hours though, you really hesitate to do that. Maybe it'll sing to someone.

Creek in Oils and Acrylics - SOLD

Creek in Acrylics
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Creek in Oils
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

These were done by request, but neither was precisely what the collector wanted, so they are up for grabs.

Simple Summer Field - SOLD

Simple Summer Field
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

My private student surprised me today. I thought it might be a challenge for her to take the lead, play teacher, pick colors to mix, and the order of execution. She not only chose wisely on the color mixes, but the speed at which she painted meant that we finished our lesson in half the time. I'm trying to decide if teaching this way is a success or not. She has certainly absorbed everything well.

High and Away - SOLD

High and Away
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD.

Detail (Close -Up) Below:

Another rescued painting, also previously a daffodil that didn't.
Nothing like a palette knife for adding bits of color and blending them in.

Palette Knife Sunset - SOLD

Palette Knife Sunset

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"

SOLD.

Detail (Close -Up) Below:

Detail of Painting

This one started life as a daffodil that didn't, and not wanting to waste canvas, it had to be a palette knife painting overtop. I'm still not tired of the sky studies, and hope you aren't either.

Field Flowers, Acrylics - SOLD

Field Flowers, One
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
Palette Knife Technique
SOLD.

Field Flowers, Two
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
Brush Technique
SOLD.

What we'll be doing in class on Wednesday. Both are done with approximately the same simple composition, (their choice of flower colors, or no flowers) and with different tools. Some of my students like the palette knife, some prefer using brushes.

Cloud Study: Subtle - SOLD

Cloud Study: Subtle
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD.

Yet another in the ongoing cloud series. For this one, I tried to make the cloud formations very soft and quiet, but still retain some drama.
