Little Woods Scene

In preparing for my oils class tomorrow, I wanted to have something I could show as a finished project, so this is a quick, little creek scene. We'll repeat it in class.

One Tall Iris - SOLD

One Tall Iris
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Since I was dreaming I was painting an iris, and woke up amused, I figured I'd go ahead and paint another one. The seem to be very popular.

Two revised at Twenty Each - SOLD

Maples in the Fog, Revised - SOLD
Oil on Canvas Paper, 14" x 14"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping

Sunday Drive, Revised
Oil on Canvas Paper, 14" x 14"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping.

I liked both of these well enough to revise them and re-post. On the Maples, I added more color, and fixed the "river" that was running through the middle. Also I changed the shapes are directions of the trunks. On the Sunday Drive piece, I added the ending of the fence, and put leaves in the road. There was too much road before. They both look better to me.

The Fishing Shack - SOLD

The Fishing Shack
Oil on Sueded Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $40 plus $7 shipping.

I revised this one this morning, punched it up a little. I do like it, feels to me like morning for some reason.

Magnolia - SOLD

Magnolia
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I decided that I'd better have a sample of what we'll be doing in class on Wednesday.
So I spent some time today painting this and writing the lesson for a floral class.

Lavender and Purple Irises - SOLD

Lavender and Purple Irises
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Two toned irises with a touch of red and orange.

Cloud Study - SOLD

Cloud Study
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $30 plus $7 shipping

I kept looking at this one in a mirror as I was working on it, and realizing that most of my cloudy skies aren't dark enough. I kept adding richer color to it. You'd think that everything is a sky should be light, but not so much.

Red Irises Twice - SOLD

Red One - SOLD
Watercolor on Archs Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $25.00 plis $7.00 shipping.

Red Two - SOLD
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Hot Red Irises, yeehaw. And yes, they are almost the same. I decided to try out painting them in tandem, one petal on one and the same petal on the second and so on. It worked out nicely, as they each needed drying time, and I could switch back and forth.

Peony Sketch - SOLD

Peony Sketch
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I'm not thrilled with this one. I wanted to see if I could do a loose peony, instead of drawing it out carefully, each little petal and crimp, but as it turns out, a sketch doesn't exactly do it, and I like the careful ones better. But I think it turned out well enough to save, anyway.

Fall Cove, Demo Painting - SOLD

Fall Cove, Demo Painting
Acrylics with Oil Touch Ups
Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $23.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

I was delighted to have some students this morning at our local Michael's, and this was the landscape I demoed. We work in acrylics in class, and I did a little refining at home in oils (and yes, it's ok to do oils over acrylics, but not vice versa.) A little out of season, but I figured someone might like  it.

Marsh Study, Palette Kinfe - SOLD

Marsh Study, Palette Knife Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $23.00 plus $7.00 shipping

After all the irises in watercolor, today I felt like something direct, loose and swishy.
This is a fast palette knife study with a limited palette of colors. Mostly I was just after a "mood" of some kind.
