Once again, I have run out of canvas, and am using painting income to do shipping. So it's time for a watercolor or two. This one is basically from my imagination, twisty and frilly. The blue one is (intended to be) two irises, one behind the other.

Wildwood Oranges - SOLD

I had painted this one last week, and called it "Ablaze at Wildwood." (Scroll down five posts to see.) Since it didn't sell, I decided to play around with it. I added more green, added more sky holes, used a palette knife to make it a bit more complicated and textured, and lowered the ground line. Much better now, I think. More "leafy" looking.

Detail (Close Up ) Below:

A palette knife painting in mostly greens and yellows.
I imagine you are tired of all the oranges and reds of fall. Today we have rain and cold, and the colors are more browns and lavenders outdoors. Wet colors.

Solomon Was Not... SOLD

Solomon Was Not...
Oils on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.

There is a small pond in Amherst that my friend B visits most years in the fall. She has sent me photos.
Spectacular colors reflected in the dark water, so lovely, and I was thinking about Solomon in all his glory, not being arrayed as splendidly as God's fall palette.

Ablaze at Wildwood - NA
Oils on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
Available at $25 plus $10 shipping.

Another version of the Burnt Orange trees at Wildwood. This time I tried to resist the urge to go at it with my palette knife, not entirely successful, but for the most part, this is a brush painting. Yum on the colors.

Little Bowl of Apples - SOLD

I found this bowl at one of the Goodwill type stores in the area, can't remember the name, Value City or somesuch. I thought I'd use it for lemons, but I used the lemons in my tea. Oh, well, there were apples at church on Sunday, so I grabbed a few. (We have a surplus food ministry at church.) Perfect for a small canvas.

I was casting about this morning for something to paint, didn't want another landscape, didn't want a still life, and had the photo reference for these irises still laying out from the watercolor I did the other day....so....

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"

These kinds of soft-warm-air days of fall are almost a memory now, but I'll stretch the season as far as I can.
Baby, it's cold outside! But not on my canvas.

I know, you've seen so many maples from me this fall. I think this may be the last time for using this particular reference, taken in front of my daughter's old house in Barre, Massachusetts. But yes, I wanted one more, just one more. I wasn't quite finished with the lovely maples. My favorite fall trees.

Amazing, no yellows!
I snapped the reference photo for this one on the way home from an unsuccessful plein air outing with a class I was taking at the time. I love the orange reflections in the water. It was probably the best part of the day.
And yes, the painting did go more easily today, back in the saddle.

It's been five days since I painted with oils, having taken a small detour to do a couple of watercolors. Just long enough to forget how to paint, really. I had to struggle with this one, scraping some area off twice to repaint them. I'm pretty happy with it now, but I wonder how that is, that you can forget so quickly, and be awkward with the return.

This is another painting from my new photo references, this one taken at a pace called Wildwood.
It must have been just breathtaking in person. Love this Burnt Orange color, offset by the greens.

My dear friend B sent me some lovely Massachusetts fall photos, so I'll be using some new reference material. Yay! Don't you like the greys in this one? And the sycamore tree. (I plan to use this reference again.)

Simple Sunset - SOLD

Another little deviation from all the fall colors, a sky study.
I like the peeks of colors at the edges of the clouds.

This one was done by request, but the collector decided to pass on it, so it becomes available.
It is a repeat of an earlier painting; mountains, water, rocks, fall colors.
I also apologize to have to raise my shipping price a bit, since the last two trips to the Post Office have opened my eyes to the higher prices there.
