Peaches on Blue Glass - SOLD

Peaches on Blue Glass Oil on Canvas board, 9" x 12" Sold at $60.00 plus shipping. I had a request for Christmas for a peaches-painting, and checked a few grocery stores, no peaches. Out of season. But I had taken some photos of gorgeous peaches in a large blue plate, and printed them out to paint from. I like the sun-drenched effect here. Thanks for looking.

Goldens in Blue Bowl - SOLD

Goldens in Blue Bowl Oil on Canvas board, 8" x 8" Sold at $40.00 plus shipping. It's rainy and dark here in Massachusetts today, a good day for a small painting with bright colors. And I wanted to paint these Golden Delicious apples once more before giving them to the kids to eat up. Thanks for looking.

Path at Barre Falls Dam - NA

Path to Barre Falls Dam
Oil on Canvas board, 12" x 12"
Not Available.

I wanted to try a high key (mostly light in value) study, and had this photo from Barre Falls Dam wanderings a couple of weeks back. I guess I am drawn to paths, since I'm always taking pictures of them, and wind up painting a lot of them. This was successful as a high key study, I think, and appealing as well. Thanks for looking.

Lake Needwood in Gray - SOLD

Lake Needwood in Gray 9" x 12", Oil on Canvas board SOLD at $20.00 plus shipping. Having discovered this new technique for doing water, I wanted to play with it. I have some nice photos from Lake Needwood (Montgomery County, Maryland) still, so I got one out and had some fun. (The spot here is a lens reflection, not in the painting.) Thanks for looking.

Edgy Peppers - SOLD


Edgy Peppers
10" x 10", Oil on Canvas board
SOLD.

 I miss daylight. Come 4:00 in the afternoon, the sky is already getting darker. I can see that I'm going to have to set up some kind of an indoor photo shooting box or something. Taking photos inside just doesn't work with all the cross lighting. Needs some research. Thanks for looking.

Gourd Stripes and Loops - SOLD

Gourd Stripes and Loops 9" x 12", Oil on Canvas board Sold at $50.00 plus shipping. My grandson brought these home from a birthday party, homegrown gourds. I liked all the stripes and the loopy stems. I've been wanting to try a dark background too, so here was my chance. Thanks for looking.

Combo Landscape - Gifted

Combo Landscape - 12" x 16", Oil on Canvas board Gifted. This one is a little bit of Lake Needwood, a bit of Browning Lake and the Ware River, done in like style and technique as the one from Tuesday. I like the clouds here. Thanks for looking.
