Pansy Face - SOLD

Pansy Face Oil on Canvas mounted on Board, 8" x 10" SOLD at $20.00 plus shipping. With a nod to Georgia, I thought I would try a smooth, blended rendition of one of the pansy faces, from close up. And this is how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Pansy Faces - SOLD

Pansy Faces Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10" Sold at $60.00 plus shipping. It's the time of year when the hanging baskets and potted plants start appearing in front of the grocery stores. I couldn't resist some of these happy faces. Thanks for looking.

Calligraphic Clouds - SOLD

Calligraphic Clouds Oil on Canvas Board, 6" x 8" SOLD at $40.00 This little sunrise landscape is just a made up sky scape, with a focus on brushwork. I tried to use the brush like a sketching pencil, and the marks seemed almost calligraphic to me. It's a fun way to paint, very quick. I did more deliberate painting on the bottom, but mostly this was done with the side of a flat brush. Thanks for looking.

Lavender Iris Two - SOLD

Lavender Iris Two
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Sold at $75.00 plus shipping.

This one was done by request, and is on hold for the sister of one of my floral collectors. It's a little more purple than the first lavender iris, and I also used more blue. Thanks for looking.

Leeks with Pepper

Leeks with Pepper Oik on Canvas Board, 8" x 16" Available at $75.00 plus shipping. I really like this color combination, the red and green popping off each other with the nice blue-gray and whites. Now to figure out what to do with the leeks! Almost too pretty to eat, I'm thinking of painting them again. Thanks for looking.

Daffodils in Green Jar - SOLD

Daffodils in Green Jar Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. Very odd thing, that yellow iris petals give me no trouble, while little daffodil flutes give me no end of trouble. I had to wipe out twice before I was able to paint something that looked even a little like a daffodil. More practice, I think. I like the composition here though. Thanks for looking.

Little Green Jar - NA

Little Green Jar Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" Not Available. I was actually looking for blue glass objects to paint, when I came across this little gem of a jar at one of our gift shops. The other jars are not as interesting, but I really enjoyed working on the little guy. Thanks for looking.

Princess Iris Two - SOLD

Princess Iris Two Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" Sold at $75.00 plus shipping. This is another of the same pink iris as two days ago, but here I've gone a little more rich on the pinks, since it's for a little girl's room. (Brighter colors.) Are you all getting weary of the parade of iris paintings yet? I promise, something else tomorrow. Thanks for looking.
