Just Peachy - SOLD

Just Peachy
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping.

This one has just the right colors, and is just complicated enough to be interesting. The peaches turned out looking peachy, so I'm pleased with it. The peaches sat under the lights, so now they really do need to be eaten.

Peach One - SOLD

Peach One Oil on Gessoed Panel, 6" x 6" SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Okay, I was in a rush today, trying to get a lot of errands done, sent out some paintings, did some groceries, you know , here and there, little stops in traffic that all take time. So this one, well....not the best, maybe too monochromatic, but figured tomorrow is another peachy day. More time for painting. On a separate note, I have been hired to teach an oils class to an ongoing group of students in the Chevy Chase area. It's a varied group, but most of them have had quite a bit of experience painting, plus a few beginners. There are still a couple of slots open, so if you are interested in knowing the details, please email me with questions to NelVanL@aol.com.

Kiwi and Lemons - SOLD

Kiwi and Lemons Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $55.00 plus shipping. This one was actually more about playing with repeating colors than it was about the subject matter. I am pretty happy with the results.

Sunlit Peony - SOLD

Sunlit Peony Oil on Stretched Canvas, 18" x 24" SOLD at $200, includes shipping. This one is big, and took me all day today to paint. It's actually a little more pink toned than it appears on my screen. If it looks purplish on your computer, it's got some deep pinks in it too.
