Burnt Orange Pansies - SOLD

Burnt Orange Pansies Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 8" x 1.5" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. You know that pansy color? It's an orangey-browny-maroony color that is just so enticing to try to paint. This is one of those paintings that's so much better in person, the subtleties are lost in the photography here. The pansies wrap around top, sides and bottom, so no frame is needed. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Rainbow Apples One and Two

Rainbow Apples One Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Rainbow Apples Two Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" Reposted on January 8, 2011. Aren't these fun? I painted the first one as I would have done an underpainting for a palette knife painting, but completed the masses. Then I wondered what would happen if I blended the colors, as though it were a "normal" still life painting. So I did a second one. The colors did muddy a bit, but it still looks neat. I was also thinking about what a great exercise (value study) this would be for an intermediate class in oils, which is something I'm thinking about for fall.

Shades of Green - NA

Shades of Green Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" Not available. Detail below. I did something a little different today. I haven't done this before, but have heard of painters who do. I used one of my Massachusetts photos on my computer screen to paint from. My laptop was far enough away that it almost felt like plein air painting, except of course, no changes in light and no bugs, but then no fresh air and bird sounds either. Another palette knife painting, which I am so enjoying. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Down By the Riverside - SOLD

Down by the Riverside Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $55.00 plus shipping. I really do enjoy the palette knife paintings for landscapes. Domething about all the control the slow work gives you, and how nicely the colors blend together. Nice! Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Red Delicious - SOLD

Red Delcious Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Detail below. And a quick look at how one of these starts, below.

A palette knife painting of three red delicous apples. Looking at this post, though, I'm hmmmmming about maybe doing a brush painting of how one of these starts, and then not changing it much. Would be fun, I think. A bit of a modern art look to it.

Papa Berry Revised - SOLD

Papa Berry Revised Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping. This is an older painting, and I wondered why it never sold, and decided that maybe the white background was just too stark, so today instead of starting a new piece, I revised this one (and lowered the price) by changing the background. It is a little softer now, not quite so "barren." Thanks for looking. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/
