SOLD at $18 plus $10 shipping.
(priced at $0.50 per square inch)



I used a warmer (more yellow) light today, and these actually look sort of "golden" now.
Interesting, the difference in how things look under different color-leaning lights.

SOLD at $18, plus $10 shipping.
(priced at $0.50 per square inch)



A little palette knife painting today.
I hope you're not getting tired of the fall pieces, but I need to paint them while it's that time of year, fleeting enough.

Fall Reflected - SOLD

Fall Reflected

Light Catchers

Light Catchers
Oils on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 20"
Available at $100, plus $10 towards shipping.
(pricing at $0.50 per square inch)



OK. I hope this shows up all right, I've got it set at the largest size that seems to fit.I think it's my favorite fall piece so far, it feels sunny but mild. Not one of those crispy days, where all the edges are sharp and keen. It has a nice variety of colors, a few brights but not all. Yup, I'm pleased with it.

Foothill Blues - SOLD

Foothill Blues
Oil on Gessoed Wood Panel, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $72 plus $10 shipping.

I've done this one before, but smaller. I just love all the subtle blues in the foot hills.
And of course, the rich fall colors.

Splash of Yellow - NA

Splash of Yellow
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 12"
Revised on January 16, 2018

This one is revised from one I painted the other day called "New England Maples."
It felt a bit stark, though I liked it. So today I made it softer, added branches, more leaves on the ground, played down the lemony color, made the yellow warmer. Better maybe, or just different. Maybe more appealing.And free shipping probably doesn't hurt, right?

Maple Splendor - SOLD

Maple Splendor
Oil on  Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $96, with free shipping.
(Pricing still at $0.50 per square inch)



I did one a couple of weeks back of just the maple, and not much more, since it was a smaller board. But oh, nice to spread out and do the entire reference photo. The maples in New England are always so gorgeous at this time of the year. That I DO miss, but surely NOT the winters. Much easier getting thru a Maryland winter.

Fall, Softly

Fall, Softly
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 6" x 8"
Available at $24 plus $10 shipping.
(priced at $0.50 per square inch)



The photo is not out of focus, the painting is soft, blended, with very few hard edges.
Hence, Fall, softly. I chose a small format this evening, since I had a calligraphy project that needed to get done today, and it left me little time for painting. But a small one? Doable.Isn't it appealing?

Wow Color! - NA

Wow Color!
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 16"
Not Available, Revised on January 2, 2018


Since my Google search has been highjacked by some ad program called "searchencrypt" which I can't get rid of, I went to wet canvas (instead of my standby Google Image search)  and spent an hour looking at posted (to share) autumn photos. Found some nice ones, including this one. I loved the intense colors and the high contrast. Hope you do too, it was fun to paint!

New England Maples - NA

New England Maples
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 12"
Not available, Revised on 10/20/17
(priced at $0.50 per square inch)

There's nowhere quite like New England in the fall. With all the maples, the colors are just amazing.
I don't think there has been a peak yet this year, but oh, when the maples blast their yellows and reds and oranges, wow, it takes your breath away!

Aubergine Iris - NA

Aubergine Iris
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 16"
Not Available

This gorgeous iris has been hanging on my wall, while I wondered why it hadn't sold. So this morning I took out the blue paint, and turned the green background into sky. Much cleaner,  more dramatic.

Autumn Skyline - SOLD

Autumn Skyline
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $24 plus $10 shipping.
(priced at $0.50 per square inch)



Another little fall piece, this time with an intense blue sky. The kind of sky I associate with a crisp fall day, a deep wild cobalt.

Maple in Fall Dress - SOLD

Maples in Fall Dress
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $34 plus $10 shipping.
(Still at $0.50 per square inch)



This isn't color in full fury yet, but we'll get there.
Promise! The maples are my favorites.

Lemons and Brass - SOLD

Lemons and Brass
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 Shipping.
( priced at $0.50 per square inch)



Originally this was four lemons on white, then I thought it was too plain, so I put three on some polka dotted turquoise fabric. Then I thought about this little brass jug, and added that. The lemon I discarded was set aside onto an old black wife beater, and that looked more dramatic, so I found some black wool, and that's how a still life evolves. I'm not entirely happy with the jug, but it sure has drama.

And Fall Begins - SOLD

And Fall Begins
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 10" x 10"
SOLD at $50, plus $10 shipping.



I've had this photo reference in my landscapes folder for awhile, and I've been holding off, holding off, not time yet to paint fall colors.....but today, I finally gave in and started. I like this one for the no-sky background, and that gorgeous but elusive color of the muted shore. I'm pretty happy with the results.
