Lemons and Brass - SOLD

Lemons and Brass
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 Shipping.
( priced at $0.50 per square inch)



Originally this was four lemons on white, then I thought it was too plain, so I put three on some polka dotted turquoise fabric. Then I thought about this little brass jug, and added that. The lemon I discarded was set aside onto an old black wife beater, and that looked more dramatic, so I found some black wool, and that's how a still life evolves. I'm not entirely happy with the jug, but it sure has drama.

And Fall Begins - SOLD

And Fall Begins
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $50, plus $10 shipping.



I've had this photo reference in my landscapes folder for awhile, and I've been holding off, holding off, not time yet to paint fall colors.....but today, I finally gave in and started. I like this one for the no-sky background, and that gorgeous but elusive color of the muted shore. I'm pretty happy with the results.
