Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $55.00 plus shipping.
I loved the view at the frog pond at Brookside, and wanted to go again, this time in the air conditioning, and working from my photos. Isn't this one nice?

Woodland Path and A Lesson - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping.
I had a request from a collector to do a lesson on how to paint a scene like this in a rectangular shape. That lesson is now complete and available. It is basically a printable lesson in a pdf (portable document file) format, which I will email to you. The price of the lesson is $35.00, also the price suggested by the collector.
It is a step by step instructional on how to paint this painting, with color mixing, stages of the painting, and some general tips on "how to." I think you might enjoy it.

Water Lilies, Lake Artemesia
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 24" x 24"
Available at $200 plus $50 shipping.
Although I like working large, it's a little iffy with the shipping as expensive as it is. At any rate, this large one was done from photos I took at Lake Artemesia, with the light bouncing off the lilies, and one flower showing.

Sunflower and Cherries, Revised
Available at $45.00 plus shipping.
When I posted this one the other day (June 21) I saw how pale the bowl had gotten. It was actually a blue bowl, but in the photo it looked white. So I added some more blue color to the bowl, and here you go. Another chance for this one to find a home.

Peaches on Napkins
Oil on Gessoed Panels, 6" x 6"
Available each at $35.00 plus shipping.
Or the set at $65.00 plus shipping.
I wanted to do some peaches, but they seemed so plain just sitting on paper, so I added cloth napkins, to see how that would work. They make a sort of set, I think. With my light shining on them, they smelled so fine while I was painting them.

Summer Walking - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping.
I'm giving the plein air a little rest, working inside instead for a minute. So this one is done from a photo reference. I always like the look of light at the end of a path, so here's yet another one on that theme. It feels like summertime to me.

Walled Garden, Brookside - NA
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Not available.
It was humid and overcast today, but I went to Brookside anyway, and have decided that I really need to rethink my plein air gear. I carry way too much stuff on my arms; I need some wheels, I think. I've seen some gear kits, where a painter has wheels and bungy cords, and simply rolls the entire outfit to wherever they want to paint, and clips the wet painting to the outside of the whole deal, when done. Yeah, that's what I need!
I painted in this walled garden simply because it was close to the car, and I'm not thrilled with it.But with plein air, you take the good with the bad.

The Frog Pond, Brookside Gardens
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
Available at $60.00 plus shipping.
I love how the water turned out in this one. Though I didn't nail the path of wood chips, which was really pretty. It was really hot there today, but every once in awhile, a little breeze, and the sound of lazy frogs. I got some fairly good photos to use and want to try this one again, bigger.

Scattered Cherries - SOLD
Oil on Two Canvas Panels, 6" x 7" each.
Set SOLD at $40.00 plus $7.00 shipping.
I didn't have a large enough, but smallish, canvas to do what I wanted, so I made a diptych out of this one. You can frame them separately and hang them together. Kind of fun, yes?
Cherries and Sunflower - SOLD
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
Revised, see post for 6/27/2011. SOLD.
Running out of canvas, so this one is on a panel. Pretty simple, but I like the way the glass and sunflower turned out.

Sunflowers - SOLD
Oil on Gessoed Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
Watercolor of Arches paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
I'm getting the last of the current series of sunflower paintings out of my system. The watercolor was my "justification" to sit down in front of the TV the other night and watch James Bond movies. (You can watch TV as long as you're getting something else done. You know that rule?)
I have more of the 6" x 6" panels, and I keep looking at what other painters can fit into this tiny space and am amazed. I always feel so confined, but I'll keep trying.

Creek View - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD at $85.00 pus shipping.
This one is different for me, sort of an experiment. It's a view of a creek looking down from a bridge, so mostly it's just water and foliage, with bits of reflection. It was fun to paint, but I'm not sure about it hanging on a wall somewhere, kind of an odd subject.

Sunflower and Mangos - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping
I clipped one of the sunflowers down to almost no stem and popped it into a glass to combine with the mangos. I like the richness of this one, with all the ornages and deep reds. A little more bold than my normal backgrounds.

Summer Sunflowers - SOLD

No plein air today, rainy off and on. So, some sunflowers from the grocery store instead. Thanks for looking.

Plein Air Brookside Gardens - SOLD
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.
A little plein air painting again today, since we had another bright, clear and gorgeous day. I painted at the edge of the parking lot, so I'd be easy to find, in case some of my students wanted to come. There were other painters there at Brookside Gardens, and I met a fellow Maryland painter named Vince Neradka and it was fun to talk "painting." He also has on his website some neat paintings of Brookside.

Two Mangos - SOLD
Oil on Panel, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
Tired and uninspired today, grey and cool out. Ho hum. Lots of palette knife work here, and I do like the overpainting of the blue over the yellow green. But it's a basically simple piece today, since I had a hard time thinking of what to paint.

Plein Air Monday - SOLD
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $30.00 plus $7.00 shipping.
Today we had a nice break in the weather here in Maryland. Sunny, clear, fresh air, less humidity, yum... a perfect day to be out painting. The trees in the background were originally an apartment building, hmmm. Buildings are tough, so out it went.
The only things that are actually authentic about this one are the trees, everything else is just contrived, but it sure was fun to be out, and it made for a nice meadow.

Peony Face - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $50.00 plus $7.00 shipping.
Didn't this one turn out nicely? I wanted to call it "Quick, before They Wilt!" but figured I'd better be conservative. Some of the delicate pink-magenta colors are easier to achieve in watercolor than in oils. Very elusive, those colors. But I think I got pretty close on this one.

Apple Fractions - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 9"
SOLD at $35.00 plus $7.00 shipping.
This one speaks for itself, isn't it fun?
