Shallots with Garlic - SOLD

Shallots with Garlic
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping in the US

I really like the sound of the word "shallots." It sounds kitchen exotic and cuisiney, doesn't it? Fried onions for a hamburger just doesn't have the ring of "sauteed shallots."

This one is BIG, for me anyway. It was an almost three day painting, done by request.
Lots of paint, and I took my time. It's based on other smaller versions of this same piece.

SOLD at $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping in the US

Blue Pitcher
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8"
Available

Unless you're using a hair dryer with watercolor, it involves a lot of waiting time. I decided to do an oil between waiting times on the iris watercolor. I was trying for subtle in both cases. I'm pretty pleased with the little blue pitcher.

Study in Neutrals - SOLD

Study in Neutrals
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 12" x 16" x 1.5"

Sometimes I think I use too much color, so I tried with this one to keep my colors subdued and soft, nothing too bright. I like how it turned out.

Thankful today that the storm only skimmed us here in the DC area, no power out, no damages. Thinking of those who suffered losses from Irene.
