Single White Peony
Oil on Hard Board, 7" x 7"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.
This is my favorite of the peonies so far. It has some nice, subtle tones in it (which really don't show up much here.) More of a stylized approach today.
Peonies Three
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 10" x 1.5"
SOLD at $30 plus $10 shipping.
This attempt I went for a more yellowish cast in the front peonies.
A few more paintings, I might actually start to feel like I know what I'm doing, LOL.
This one wraps around, so no frame is needed.
Bet you were thinking "steak" when you read the title. I did too, and thought "how interesting." Or maybe a hamburger. But our associations go to meat, I think. Yum.
But no, this one is just a big, fat, juicy tomato on grey cloth.
Watercolor Hibiscus
Watercolor on Watercolor Paper, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.
Detail, Close Up Below:
I seem to have lost my touch with my oils, temporarily I'm sure. So I'm turning my attention to some watercolors instead, for a spell anyway. Maybe I'll have better luck selling these guys.
Summer Marsh
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 12" x 12" x 1.5"
Not Available, Revised on August 23, 2018
Detail view of painted right edge:
It was a nice change of pace to paint on canvas again today, a completely different feel.
I do still like my wood panels very much, but this was also sweet.
Clouds at Sunset
oil on Wood Panel, 8" x 10"
Claimed.
I am starting to wonder if everyone out there is away on vacation. So, as a test, I am offering a freebie painting, just cover the shipping, to see if anyone is reading these email posts. Sneaky, right? Just a test to satisfy my curiosity.
Welcome to my daily painting blog. Here I'll post my efforts to paint one small painting a day, with a little wiggle room by saying five per week. I work primarily in oils these days, but also love my watercolors. I hope you enjoy my work, and as always, your comments are welcome.
