Abstracted  Peonies
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Not Avaiable.

I just completed a large commission painting, (30" x 24") with this subject. Had some paint colors mixed, so decided to do a smaller painting as well. Fun to be a little splashy.

This was a commission, but I wanted to post it anyway.
Done with palette knife. Didn't it turn out nicely?

Mountain Road, Fall - SOLD

Mountain Road, Fall
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18"
SOLD

This one was done on commission, with a furnished photo.
It was both a challenge and a real pleasure to paint.
And, since my collector is happy with the painting, I figured I'd post it. I loved the fog in the photo, and the glow in the mountains.

Apples Posed on Colored Paper - SOLD

Apples Posed on Colored Paper
Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping

The top version is the revised version. I took out the corner apple, and it seems more balanced now.

This one is done with practically no blending at all. What do you think, too messy, too rough?
Or okay without all the polish?

Fall Glimpses - SOLD

This larger painting done from a photo sent from Massachusetts, where the fall colors always seem more intense. To me, anyway. Maybe its all the maples? (Thanks for the card, B.)

Learning to paint all over again.  It does come back, but it takes awhile to feel fluid again. I'm feeling my way.

I'm not sure why it's so hard to get started again, but it is. I do need to get various supplies, but in the course of "settling," I found this gouache painting that I thought had sold, but hadn't.

Below is a small video clip showing the view from our sixth floor apartment balcony; in a high rise apartment building where I am renting a room from a dear gentleman from church. We've got a wonderful view, there could be some sky studies in my future.

I have been able to do some small watercolors here at the parsonage, sitting outside at the patio table, under a big orange shade umbrella. Enjoying the shade and whatever breezes blow thru. Nice.

For me, the Gouache seems to work best in small dabs, where lots of blending isn't needed.
The "leafy" landscapes seem most successful.
I used the same reference for the July 4th scene, and I like both results.

I must be feeling a little "closed in" today, and wanted wide open spaces to paint. Hence a big, wide open  meadow, imagining wind and sun and clear air.

Since a collector wrote me and said that she was going to buy yesterday's, but it had already sold, I was encouraged to do a second version of the same one. They always turn out differently.

As was the case with the first version, this one can be cropped to any smaller size you need.

It felt good to paint again today, after a pretty big clean-up post Missy Kayla's visit (my 7 year old granddaughter). We had a great time, she really enjoyed VBS (Vacation Bible School) and even though all the grown ups were exhausted afterwards, I'd do it again next year in a heartbeat.

Isn't this one nice? I took my time, spent two days on it, it "feels" summer-ish to me.
