Burton's Island Revisited - SOLD

Burton's Island Revisited Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. It's really hot here in DC for the past few days, makes me think of water; lakes, oceans, bays, being at the shore....so I paint it instead. I've priced this one low, since I need to renew my DP Gallery membership, which is the price of this painting. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Hydrangeas and Pears - SOLD

Hydrangeas and Pears Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18" SOLD at $80.00 plus shipping. Are you tired of seeing hydrangeas yet? Maybe I'll give it a rest. This one is pretty big, compared to my usual, and though it was a little different technique for me, I am happy with the results. Here you see the entire still life, as I originally set it up, but this time with a cool brown glazed pitcher. The pears finally made it into the scene. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Cherries Perched - SOLD

Cherries Perched
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping.
Correct color below in detail.

I included the detail here, since it shows better the color of the cloth napkin, which is a teal/turquoise color, very neat with the reds of the cherries. Another piece with the brushstrokes showing. Nel

Cherries in a Mortar - SOLD

Cherries in a Mortar Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10" SOLD at $65.00 plus $5.00 shipping. I've priced this one high (for me), despite the size, since it has a lot of detail and took me the best part of the day yesterday, with small breaks to move the sprinkler around the yard. It's done mostly with the "apply and leave" style, which I am enjoying right now. Doesn't it feel French in some way to you? Maybe it's the stripes... I had to look up which was the mortar and which the pestle. Ahhh, this is the mortar. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Hydrangeas in Pitcher - SOLD

Hydrangeas in Pitcher Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. Only one painting from these beauties? No way. So here's another, and I really feel as though I want to try it again still. I like the pottery on this one, little touches of light blue, dark blue, lavender, browns. When you study a thing, you start to see all the color nuances, and I love how it all works. Happy 4th to all of you picnicing, grilling, partying, watching fireworks. And in Louisiana, turning a neighborhood into a private fireworks show! (have fun, Natales!) Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Cherries with Copper Pot

Cherries with Copper Pot Oil on Stretched Canvas, 5" x 7" Available at $50.00 plus $5.00 shipping Have you bought cherries yet this summer? I could not believe the price at the DC Safeway, wowza! So I bit the bullet and bought some anyway; filled this little copper pot (from the laundry room) with a bunch, but only painted three in front of the pot. Another cherry painting coming up, while I munch on a few as well. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com

Victorian Lady Pansies - SOLD

Victorian Lady Pansies
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 5" x 5" x 1.25"
SOLD to my Pansy Collector
Detail Below


My cousin still had a few gasping pansies (getting too hot for these little guys), and I noticed this color, so very lovely. I have a collector who adores pansies, and had mentioned pink pansies as something she might want, so this one is for her. Sort of a soft pinky lavender, and it looks like something in a Victorian style, doesn't it?

Burnt Orange Pansies - SOLD

Burnt Orange Pansies Wrapped Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 10" x 1.25" SOLD. This one is for a collector who missed out on the burnt orange pansies last time, and requested a slightly larger one with gallery wrapped edges. I hope she likes it! I clipped a few lavender ones left in the garden, and they said it would be okay if I changed their color. Gracious little pansies. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Hal's Hydrangeas - SOLD

Hal's Hydrangeas Oil on Gallery Wrapped Linen, 11" x 14" x 1.25" SOLD at $80.00 plus shipping. It's been awhile since I've posted, and it's because I've waited for paintings to dry, anticipating a little move. I'm house sitting for my favorite cousins (it's their way of giving me a little vacation, their place is so lovely.) I feel like I'm on sabbatical or something, or maybe at a retreat. Anyway, I found one of their handmade pottery pitchers ( made by my cousin) and clipped some nice hydrangea stems, and set it up with the soft yellow wall in shadow as background. It's the rougher type of painting I sometimes do and I like how it came out. The painting will continue around the sides, so no frame is needed. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Coral Irises Set - SOLD

Coral Irises One and Two

Watercolor on 140 lb watercolor paper, 8" x 19" each

SOLD

Awhile back I did a full sized peony watercolor, and now these two are to be bookends to that piece, and to match corals in the decor of the room. The background color of the paper is actually the same, since they are painted on the same sheet of paper, but I adjusted them each a little differently. Didn't they turn out nicely?
