Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
See revised version of May 23, 2012.

One of my lovely ladies (thanks, Marie) shared a couple of iris stalks with me after class today, and I simply HAD to paint them. So much fun to paint these from life.

Spring Meadow
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $65.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Nothing I like better than painting a landscape with lots of natural contrast. This one practically painted itself (but then I've used this reference a few times before.) Thanks for looking.

Pears with Leaves
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $15 plus $5 shipping.

Scraping the bottom of the canvas barrel, but I did find one little canvas panel left. And was lucky enough to find a couple of pears with leaves still attached to them in the grocery store. Yay for small treats.

Little Pansy Posy - SOLD

Little Pansy Posy
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 5" x 7"
SOLD at $17.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's today. We are having a gorgeous day here in the DC area, sunshine and warmth, mmmmmm. I clipped a couple of my pansies to paint on this small canvas today, and it has a feminine feel to it, I think, to observe the day.
