Landscpe Oil Sketch - SOLD

Landscape Oil Sketch
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD


Sometimes (well, often) it happens that I like a painting in its early stages better than I like it finished.
Today's is an example of just that. This one is considered a sketch in oils, since I've left it completely sketchy and unfinished. I like it! Thought maybe someone else might too.

Blue Jug with Onions - SOLD

 Blue Jug with Onions
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"
SOLD

This is a revision of an earlier painting, which had a strange green table cover, and a really black background ( I had hung a black towel behind the set up.) The color here is much more pleasant. 
See what I mean? This is how it was before, below.

Gala Apples and Revised Trees in Bloom - SOLD

Gala Apples
Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $20, includes shipping.

A friend brought me some nice little 6" x 8" panels, (thanks, B!) which are perfect for small fruit and veggie portraits. Had to use one, just for fun.

Also, here is a revised version of the Trees in Bloom, 9" x 12"on panel
SOLD at $20 plus shipping.


I changed the color of the grass (tricky color) and gave some height to the background. The trees stayed pretty much the same, but I think this is better.

Trees in Bloom - NA

Trees in Bloom
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
Revised on 4/19/17

Done with a palette knife, so there's a lot of texture in this one.
Now I'm ready to move on to something else.
Tomorrow maybe a still life.
