Subtle Rose - SOLD


Subtle Rose
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 8" x 1.5"
SOLD at $45 plus $7 shipping.

I have this gorgeous bouquet of roses, and wanted to do one more before they fade entirely. This is one of those picky paintings where you could just keep on going all day, blending and edging and refining. I stopped, and now I get to wash brushes (not my favorite chore.) I am thinking sometime of doing a HUGE rose on a large canvas, where I can picky on a grand scale.

This one will be painted on top, sides, bottom, so no frame is needed.

Little Morning Glory
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $25 plus $5 shipping.

When I clipped this one this morning, it had already started to curl and close, but was a willing model anyway. I've had so much fun watching these lovelies. Definitely going to collect the seeds and plant more next year.

September Clippings - SOLD


September Clippings
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $45 plus $7 shipping.

I'm giving some private drawing lessons on Thursday afternoons, and wanted something for practicing contour drawing. My hydrangea blossoms stilled looked interesting, so I clipped a few and then decided to paint them as well. Cool, aren't they?
