Landscape Series: Number 2 - SOLD

Landscape Series: Number 2 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. I never thought this would be tricky, but it is more than I realized. Without something as reference, except the general shapes of the composition, it's all imagination. Maybe I'll get better at it as I go along, it's a good challenge. I was thinking high summer on this one.

Little Iris Watercolor - SOLD

Little iris Watercolor Watercolor on Arches paper, 6" x 10" SOLD at $15.00, includes shipping. I've used the photo reference for this one so many time, but I don't get tired of it. The colors are such beautiful, subtle shades.

Landscape series: Deep Fall NA

Landscape Series: Deep Fall Afternoon Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" Not available, revised on May 18, 2010. The idea is not new. I want to try doing a series of small landscapes, I'm thinking 25 or so, all with the same composition. The changes will be in color, value, time of day, and season. This is the first, a late fall day, some trees bare, sun shining, like today!
