Harbor Island - SOLD

Harbor Island Watercolor Watercolor on Paper, 4" x 5.5" or 6" SOLD at $20.00 plus $3.00 mailing This one is a small and loose, but I think it's kind of charming. It does have another painting on the back side of it, but nothing has bled through in 2 or 3 years, so I think it's OK.

Lovely Forelles

Lovely Forelles Watercolor on Arches Paper, 5.75" x 9" Available at $25.00 plus $3.00 mailing. I think these are my favorite kind of pears, to paint that is. I don't know of any pears that aren't delicious, except soggy ones or mushy ones. Ya know? But these are particulary fun to paint with the half red and half ochre colors.

Forest in Blues - SOLD

Forest in Blues
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 8" x 1.25"
SOLD.
Detail Below. This one is a splash of emotion, while I'm feeling dark. All in blues and browns, a few yellows and greens thrown in. It's painted around the edges, so no frame is needed. Different, isn't it?

Silvery Creek - SOLD

Silvery Creek Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $75.00. This one was originally posted on June 14th as Dappled Creek 2. After looking at it for awhile, I figured out what it was that it needed, and have revised it to be more harmonious and softer. Now it looks almost Silvery to me. Hence the title. Thanks for stopping to look.

Catching the Glow 2

Catcvhing the Glow 2 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" Available at $85.00 plus shipping. Detail Below Another one of the tranquil pond scenes with interesting light and clouds. The one I posted the other day sold fairly quickly, and so I decided to do another one. I like this one just as well, though of course, there are subtle differences. Thanks for stopping to look.

Summer Sunday - SOLD

Summer Sunday Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $70.00 plus shipping. I was able to do this one quickly, even though it's mostly palette knife, since I'd already done a small version of it earlier today. Isn't it appealing? Wihtout the buggies, it'd be a nice walk on a summer day.

Lazy Summer Sunday - SOLD

Lazy Summer Sunday Oil on Gessoed Panel, 8" x 8" SOLD at $45.00 plus $5.00 shipping. This one is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Good to get some of the kinks out, before going bigger. Trying for a sense of bright sunlight, cool summery shadows.

Catching the Glow - SOLD

Catching the Glow Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Detail Below. The bones of this one was a painting done last week, called "Partly Cloudy." NOW I'm pleased with it. It just took some careful palette knife re-working to harmonize it, and push and pull the values. The sky has a lot of lovely subtleties to it, which doesn't really show well in the photos. It's much richer now, too.

Perched Peppers - SOLD

Perched Peppers Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Detail below Figured I'd better use these peppers again, quick before I eat them. They are just such amazing colors.

Hydrangeas in Pottery Pitcher - SOLD

Hydrangeas in Pottery Pitcher Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18" SOLD at $80.00 plus shipping. This one was first posted on July 6, and I was surprised that it didn't sell, since the hydrangeas are generally very popular. But then I thought maybe it was the odd colored yellow green background, which was a bit different, and maybe not fresh looking. So I've repainted the background, and softened up some of the darks in the cloth. Better?

Yellow and Lavender Irises - SOLD

Yellow and Lavender Irises Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. Every once in awhile, the irises call to me. This one went so smoothly, I love when that happens, it just floated off the brush. Started it last night, and finished it this morning. I wanted to name it "Oh, My Lovelies" but with keywords and so forth, you have to name it what it is. http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Lemons in Blue Bowl - SOLD

Lemons in Blue Bowl Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. My cousins have a set of wonderful turquoise blue bowls, which of course, had to make their way into a painting sooner or later. Very fun having new "stuff" to play with.
