Lemons with Blue Glass - SOLD


Lemons with Blue Glass
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
SOLD.

It was a treat today to work on stretched canvas again. The canvas panels are nice, but this is finer and nicer to work on. I used one of my new dishtowels, this one a good blue (thanks, B.)

Tea and Rose - SOLD

Tea and Rose
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
Revised and SOLD.



I have no idea why, I've done both roses and this tea cup within the past couple of weeks, but today, it was like I had two left hands, and forgot how to paint. I've been working on this one since 10:00 this morning, and just now finished. (A lot of wiping off and trying again.)

Light and Shade - SOLD

Light and Shade
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

A summery feeling for a super cold day.

White Roses - SOLD

White Roses - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"

This one was done by special request, as a gift for a lady who has a husband and three kids, see them?
I guess the white rose is symbolic for the couple, with special meaning, and this represents the family.

Sunlit Creek - SOLD


Sunlit Creek
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

In an effort to paint a little faster, I only used a big flat brush (1/2 inch) on this one. It's a little less fussy than my usual style, and the painting only took me 2.5 hours to complete. I'm not convinced that it's better, but it sure goes faster.
