Daisies Two - SOLD

Daisies Two
Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"

This is the second practice version of my lesson for Wednesday. It always makes sense to actually go through the step-by-steps I've written and use the pattern I've made to give everything a trial run.

Daisies - SOLD

Daisies
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

I'm trying to come up with an easy way for my students on Wednesday to do daisies.
Something like this might work. (No vase, since they don't like ellipses.)

Yellow and Lavender Iris - SOLD

Yellow and Lavender Iris
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $35 plus $7 shipping.

This one has been sitting in my apartment for awhile, and wanted some revising. The lavender color is new, and a little more pleasant than the brownish mauve color I had before. New life for old paintings.

Magenta Hydrangeas - SOLD

Magenta Hydrangeas
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $25 plus $7 shipping.

I was going to call this one "Paint 'em if you got 'em" but thought maybe it was a little too far fetched, right?
Not everybody would get the foxhole derivative: "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."
My models are starting to droop a little, so this may be their last chance to get used. We'll see.
But isn't this a terrific color?

It's been awhile since I've done a hydrangea, but am reminded by seeing my little grocery store plant from last year coming up nicely in my garden this spring. A small and pleasant treat! It is already promising some blooms.

Cove Waterfall - SOLD

Cove Waterfall
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD at $60 plus $10 shipping.

I decided that (listening to my collectors silences) maybe the yellow background on this one wasn't working.
I wanted to give it another chance with a darker colored background, so revised it today after class. Better?

Scraping the bottom of the canvas barrel, but I did find one little canvas panel left. And was lucky enough to find a couple of pears with leaves still attached to them in the grocery store. Yay for small treats.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's today. We are having a gorgeous day here in the DC area, sunshine and warmth, mmmmmm. I clipped a couple of my pansies to paint on this small canvas today, and it has a feminine feel to it, I think, to observe the day.
