Fall Woodland Trail - SOLD

Fall Woodland Trail
Oil on Hard Board, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $35 plus $10 shipping.

This one was always a bit on the dark side, so I've lightened it up, and made it brighter in spots. I think it works nicely now, and probably won't revise it any further.

Glimpse of Fall - SOLD

Glimpse of Fall (a revised painting)

Happy New Year, everyone!
Thanks to all of you for the support and encouragement throughout 2018. Here's wishing you a happy and prosperous 2019, full of all good things.

I thought to ease back into a painting routine, I would start by revising all the pieces that weren't "quite" there, using less brilliant light so the contrasts aren't so stark, and adjusting little things that could have worked better. This is the first one. I really like it now.

Fall Hydrangea - SOLD

Fall Hydrangea
Oil on Wood Panel, 7" x 7"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.

Hard to admit, but I've forgotten how to paint! Yikes.
I wiped this one off about 4 times before I was able to get anything I even liked. And I know how to paint a hydrangea, or at least I thought I did. Just goes to show, that anyone can get rusty.

Thinking of getting some canvas panels, to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for looking!

Something a little different; a series of faces. Especially those which I think show a lot of interesting character. We'll see how it goes.

Imitating the work of Georgia O'Keefe.

Really fun to paint so organically, with such soft shapes and lines.

Plum Stack
Oil on Wood Panel, 6" x 6"
Revised on 3/7/2019


I'm not sure how tasty these plums will be, they are really hard right now, probably picked before they were even close to ripe, but they sure are pretty for painting.

Red Onions, Palette Knife - SOLD

Red Onions, Palette Knife
Oil on Wood Panel, 5" x 7"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.



Sometimes it's just something different to try to apply paint with a palette knife. It necessarily (at least for me) comes out rougher than a smooth, blended study. But kind of cool too. It has its own appeal.

Large White Tulip - SOLD

Large White Tulip
Oil on MDF Board, 14" x 14"

Love the extreme crisp contrast.

Oil on Wood Panel, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $10 plus $10 shipping.



This is a revision of a piece I did in the workshop I took this summer. It was posted about a month ago under the name "Workshop Sunset", but I think this version is better, even as simple as it is.

Overcast Woodland Path - NA

Overcast Woodland Path
Oil on Wood Panel, 14" x 14"
Not Available, Revised on 3/8/2019.


I think this one turned out beautifully.
I'm fond of those blues and lavender colors in there.
It's been awhile since I did a "path" painting, so this one was really lovely to do.
