Detail (close up) below:

I generally don't do large paintings, except by request, but I had this 2 foot by 2 foot canvas leftover from a commission, whose person decided to go larger, so figured I'd just do something that appealed to me, and see if anyone wanted it. Since I always like the look of white flowers, and tulips were on my mind, here you go.

I will do professional shipping on this one, there's a place close by that will pack it up nicely and ship it out for me. And since this represents a bunch of hours, it's worth it.

Clear Day at Peace - SOLD

Clear Day at Peace
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $15 plus $10 shipping.

For my first landscape lesson at Michael's, I wanted something that would show as many landscape elements as I could find: blue sky with clouds, atmospheric perspective, water and reflections, field and trees. I got it all in, but this one may be toooo ambitious for new students. I will probably simplify it. Pretty, anyway.

The first one here I prepared at home for my demo, and the second one I did in the store. I'm not sure that it generated any real interest , but I had a lot of people asking if the classes were free. Nope, sorry, not free, though there is one intro class that's free.

Light Play - SOLD

Light Play
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 shipping.

This is the revised version of the now-unavailable Peonies from the other day. Good to have a canvas that you can paint over.

Pansy Pot - SOLD

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.

A little deviation from the landscapes, since I just wanted something happy and small today.
Thanks for looking!

Shadowed Creek - SOLD

Shadowed Creek
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD at $125 $90, shipping included

As you can see below, this particular canvas is slightly flawed, in the top right corner, so I have reduced the price. I think that if you can find a frame that has a deep front overlap, you'll be okay with this. No, I didn't drop it, it came like this from the store.

Thanks for looking!

Winter Mountain - SOLD

SOLD at $125, includes shipping.

Revised from Yesterday's Painting

I did some revisions on this one from yesterday; changed the shape of the mountain, enlarged the trees on the left. changed the line of light trees in the back, this and that. I think it looks more balanced now.

December Colors
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $100, shipping included.

Isn't this one nice? I guess I am partial to the subtle loveliness of the winter colors, though don't you just love the fall as well? Since it's dark now, the photo isn't quite correct (room lights) but this one has a really pretty blue in it. I'll post a daylight photo tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Abstracted Peonies - NA

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.

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.

Gearing Up - SOLD

Reflections
Gouache on Paper, 13" x 15"
SOLD at $30 plus $10 shipping.

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.

Four Small Watercolors - SOLD

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.
