Cherry Blossoms - SOLD

Cherry Blossoms
Oil on Hard Board, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



I'm not sure if these are actually cherry blossoms, but I'm guessing that's familiar. They might be apricot or pear too, something like that. But painted loose and impressionistic.

Magnolia Surround - SOLD

Magnolia Surround
Oil on Gessoed MDF Board, 16" x 16"
SOLD at $95 plus $15 shipping



This one is large, and has some presence. It took me three days to paint. I kept getting lost in the photo reference, what goes where? I simplified things considerably, and I'm happy with the results. The idea is that you are standing right in front of (or inside) a blooming magnolia.

Welcome Spring! - SOLD

Welcome Spring!
Oil on Gessoed MDF Board, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 shipping.



Yesterday I gessoed up some of my bigger boards, so I could get back into some landscapes. I do like the little still life work, but every once in awhile, a landscape is what you want to paint. Celebrating Easter, April and the arrival of real Spring weather. A lovely hillside of basking beauties.
