Rainy Magnolia - SOLD

Rainy Magnolia Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. Even when I do the same thing, I try to make it different somehow. This one with the vertical format, and the dove grey background qualify as that slight difference. This will be my last steady post until the weekend, as it's 6:00 pm here now, and tomorrow night at this time, I'll just be leaving work. (Yay, new job, even if it's temporary.) I don't plan on much painting time until the weekend. But lots of time to let ideas "stew."

Woodland Light 3 - SOLD

Woodland Light 3 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Every once in awhile, I like doing a painting like this, with all the splashes of leaf color, warm and bright, cool and deep. And with a painting like this, I get to use my Caput Mortem and Sienna too, with specks of orange.

Dunes and Water Thoughts - SOLD

Dunes and Water Thoughts Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. Just because it's very cold, very windy, very winterish here today, thoughts of summer creep into my head. This one is very sketchy and loose, some palette knife work, some swishy brush work. Once in awhile you get to "slop" paint around.

Large Pink Peony - SOLD

Large Pink Peony Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18" SOLD at $90.00 plus shipping. 2010, I like the way that gets said: twenty-ten. Happy second decade, and a blessed new year, new beginning. Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive, with encouraging notes, and many purchases. It keeps me going, that's for sure. I'm not much of one for making goals and resolutions, but I do feel that I need to stretch a lot this coming year with my painting. Really want to get some workshops and instruction under my belt. I've gotten a little stagnant lately. Need to move on, move on, grow, evolve, do more, do better...you know that feeling. Here's to a great year for all of us!
