Green Vase with Taylor Pears - SOLD

Green Vase with Taylor Pears Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. I got some new dish towels at Tuesday Morning, and then found these Taylor pears at the grocery store, a match that I couldn't pass up. Then at a close out of our local Super Fresh, a nice little glazed vase for two bucks. And there you go.

Salt and Pepper - SOLD

Salt and Pepper Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 8" SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping. A cute little piece that has been sitting in my "reject box" for awhile. I like it, not sure why it never sold. But I thought I'd give it another chance to find a kitchen to hang in, a new home.

Peony Bud Opening - SOLD

Peony Bud Opening Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 16" Revised on Nov 9, 2010. SOLD I sometimes like to do these larger paintings, especially portraits of flowers. Makes me feel a little like Georgia, well, just kidding. But it is fun once in awhile. The red ones are harder, since most of my red colors are somewhat transparent, and it takes a lot of blending to get it all looking right. Thanks for looking!

Barn in Fall - SOLD

Barn in Fall Oil on Linen, 11" x 14" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. Linen is such a treat to work on, it just has a different feel to it from cotton canvas. It feels expensive. It feels easier. Plaza has a wonderful sale on canvas going on right now, so I was able to treat myself to a couple of stretched linen canvases, mmmm. I'm not great at architectural things, but I think this one turned out nicely.

Peppers and Cups - SOLD

Cups and Peppers Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. This one was fine until I started to paint the stripes. I gave myself an occular migraine, staring at the stripes. It turned out busier than I thought it would. Oh, well, it's fun and cheerful anyway. (Though I think I'll be putting this cloth away.)
