White Peonies - SOLD


Revision Below.


White Peonies
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 12" x 12" x 1.25"
Revised and SOLD.

I wanted to do white peonies for a gallery, but I struggled with these guys, and they've become very thick. So I'm thinking something else...magnolias maybe...for gallery quality work.
If you click to enlarge the photo, you can probably tell how heavy the paint is here. The painting continues around the sides, so no frame is needed.

Tree Study - SOLD


Tree Study
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

My Thursday student prefers acrylics, and she liked the drama of the reference photo for this piece, so this is what we painted today. Acrylics work well for layering leaves, I think.

Winter Glow - SOLD


Winter Glow
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

I've been doing a lot of commission work lately, and those I don't post until later. So you haven't seen much on the blog, but that doesn't mean I'm not painting every day. I had "winter colors" left over from one of my requests, so thought I'd use some of them up.
