This was so nice to paint, I love painting on this sanded surface, even though it does tear up my brushes.
Does it have an almost fall feel to it? I used Cerulean Blue on this one, a color I generally don't use anymore.

This is another one on the Sanded Wallis Paper, archival to 500 years. I do like working on this surface, but noticed today that it does seriously wear down my brushes. I painted my favorite brush to almost a nubbin.
Something to consider.
Note: Your framer will know how to mount this one before framing.

I had just finished a larger version of this for a project I'm working on this summer, and had all the colors out, so figured I'd do a smaller version. It's coming!

Summertime goodness, peaches. I've got mine sitting in a paper bag to ripen.

Northwest Branch, Summer - SOLD

Northwest Branch, Summer
Oil on Wallis Sanded Archival Paper, 11" x 17" (image size)
Archival to 500 years.
SOLD at $22 plus $8 shipping.

This was a nice experiment. I was out of canvas, and found some pastel paper that said on the label for oils, too. Wallis is the brand, and the paper is supposedly archival. The sanded surface was lovely to paint on, it grabbed the paint so nicely, that I may do more with this. I would think for framing you (or your framer) would have to mount the paper onto a backing before framing.

Irises Watercolor - SOLD

Irises Watercolor
Watercolor on Arches Paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $22 plus $8 shipping.

I've done this one before, since the configuration is so perfect. But I can honesty say that this is my favorite to date. I used much more orange in this one, and I think it gives the whole thing a nice glow.

Old Country Roses Teacup - SOLD

Old Country Roses Teacup
Watercolor on Arches paper, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $7 shipping.

In Sketchbook Skool this week, we are enjoying inspiration and demos from Liz Steel. She does a lot of teacups and architecture. So our homework has to do with those two things. This is my entry into the teacup gallery. There is a bit of gold gouache along the edges of the cup and it's saucer.

Below is a Glarey Photo, but the colors are more accurate. It has a feel of green and yellow to it.

I am posting this one again, at a lower price, and with a possible crop. See below:

In case you like it better without the vase showing.

My friend brought me a couple of canvases (thanks, KM!), so I used one today, thinking about all the lovely fall colors coming up. Not that I'm anxious for fall, I could happily take three Julys before I got tired of it. If I got to choose, I'd also happily take three Octobers!

There was mixed reaction to the "Rough and Tumble Sunflowers" from the other day, so I decided that maybe I'm not quite ready for that style. You've got to be able to pull it off. I put this one back up on the easel, and made the leaves and background more polished looking. Better? I also have reduced the price. We'll see.
