Experimental Landscape - SOLD

Experimental Landscape Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 10" SOLD at $35.00 plus shipping. I was reading recently about local color and scattered color, and how in painting, you should try to observe all the variouscolors inside a local color. Clint Watson mentioned it in passing in his Fine Art Views newsletter recently, and it startled me, I had to go back and read that again. Oh. Oh. You mean don't paint just the local color. Huh. So I've been thinking on that, and played today with this old landscape, experimenting a bit.

Fruit on Patterned Fabric - SOLD

Fruit on Patterned Fabric Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. Isn't this one dramatic? I remember doing it, and having fun with the fabric pattern. I can see it in a Mediterranean style room, or in a modern room with a lot of black and white furnishing and decor. I've got it priced low, since it isn't revised, and is an older piece.

Overcast Field - SOLD

Overcast Field Oil on Gessoed Panel, 9" x 12" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. Just a simple pastoral, with a sketchy feel to it. I do like the shadowed effect on the ground.

Path Up the Hill - SOLD

  • Path Up the Hill
  • Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 12"
  • SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping.

This is one of those paintings that I wish you could see in person. The photo here doesn't really show the layers and subtle complexities. (Can you tell I'm happy with this one?) It's an older piece revised, much better now, and worthy, I think.
