Silvery Creek - SOLD

Silvery Creek Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $75.00. This one was originally posted on June 14th as Dappled Creek 2. After looking at it for awhile, I figured out what it was that it needed, and have revised it to be more harmonious and softer. Now it looks almost Silvery to me. Hence the title. Thanks for stopping to look.

Those Last Few Moments - NA

Those Last few Moments Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" Revised on November 3, 2010. Something with pastels today. Heat and coolness, and thinking about water and tranquility.

Marti's Hydrangeas Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD Burnt Orange Pansies Oil on Gessoed Board, 6" x 6" SOLD. Two on commission for a collector who loves my floral paintings. Thanks for looking.

Catching the Glow 2

Catcvhing the Glow 2 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" Available at $85.00 plus shipping. Detail Below Another one of the tranquil pond scenes with interesting light and clouds. The one I posted the other day sold fairly quickly, and so I decided to do another one. I like this one just as well, though of course, there are subtle differences. Thanks for stopping to look.

Pond Scene - SOLD

Pond Scene Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. Detail Below. Click on Images to see them larger. This one has mixed techniques. Some palette knife, and some brush work. I'm not sure how well it works, but I do love the colors in this one.

Tomato and Buddy - SOLD

Tomato and Buddy Oil on Gessoed Panel, 6" x 6" SOLD at $30.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Just a quick and fun one today, since the tomatoes right now, yum. A tiny painting for a bright spot of red. Nel

Summer Sunday - SOLD

Summer Sunday Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $70.00 plus shipping. I was able to do this one quickly, even though it's mostly palette knife, since I'd already done a small version of it earlier today. Isn't it appealing? Wihtout the buggies, it'd be a nice walk on a summer day.

Lazy Summer Sunday - SOLD

Lazy Summer Sunday Oil on Gessoed Panel, 8" x 8" SOLD at $45.00 plus $5.00 shipping. This one is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Good to get some of the kinks out, before going bigger. Trying for a sense of bright sunlight, cool summery shadows.

Catching the Glow - SOLD

Catching the Glow Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Detail Below. The bones of this one was a painting done last week, called "Partly Cloudy." NOW I'm pleased with it. It just took some careful palette knife re-working to harmonize it, and push and pull the values. The sky has a lot of lovely subtleties to it, which doesn't really show well in the photos. It's much richer now, too.

Perched Peppers - SOLD

Perched Peppers Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Detail below Figured I'd better use these peppers again, quick before I eat them. They are just such amazing colors.

Hydrangeas in Pottery Pitcher - SOLD

Hydrangeas in Pottery Pitcher Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18" SOLD at $80.00 plus shipping. This one was first posted on July 6, and I was surprised that it didn't sell, since the hydrangeas are generally very popular. But then I thought maybe it was the odd colored yellow green background, which was a bit different, and maybe not fresh looking. So I've repainted the background, and softened up some of the darks in the cloth. Better?

Yellow and Lavender Irises - SOLD

Yellow and Lavender Irises Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. Every once in awhile, the irises call to me. This one went so smoothly, I love when that happens, it just floated off the brush. Started it last night, and finished it this morning. I wanted to name it "Oh, My Lovelies" but with keywords and so forth, you have to name it what it is. http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Lemons in Blue Bowl - SOLD

Lemons in Blue Bowl Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. My cousins have a set of wonderful turquoise blue bowls, which of course, had to make their way into a painting sooner or later. Very fun having new "stuff" to play with.

Partly Cloudy - NA

Partly Cloudy Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" Revised on July 17, 2010. Now called "Catching the Glow." I am a little ambivalent about this one. I like the parts of it, like the sky, like the water, like the trees, the grass, but it somehow could "harmonize" better. Still, a restful little scene, want to go wading? It's no real place, just an imaginary place. I'm thinking of hunting down a nearby lake this week. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Strawberries on Turquoise - SOLD

Strawberries on Turquoise Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10" SOLD at $35.00 plus $7.00 shipping. This one went easy this morning, glad I did it. Strawberries and avocados were on sale at our Girant this week. so that's what I'm eating (and painting.) Don't you like the drama of this one? Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Gone for a Walk - SOLD

Gone for a Walk Oil on Stretched Canvas, 18" x 24" SOLD at $100.00. Even though I haven't seen the ocean this summer (who knows, it could still happen) this beach painting is for an old high school friend, who has requested it. It's a composite, done from a set up in the back yard, some chairs and beach towels I found to shoot, and some older photos of the water and sky. Does it give you summertime thoughts? It does me. (The horizon is actually straight, but because it's a bigger canvas, I got the fish eye effect.) Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Undone and in Transition - SOLD

Undone and in Transition Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD. I have been discussing emotions with one of my earliest and most supportive collectors, who has encouraged me to try to put more emotion into my work. Even though I can't imagine anyone wanting to hang this half modern sketchy and half traditional painting on their wall, I thought I would try to show a little more feeling on the canvas. Apartment hunting and personal worries have left me feeling "undone and in transition." I'm actually rather pleased with how it looks. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Petunias Take One - NA

Petunias Take One Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 8" x 1.25" Not available. Canvas was reused on July 25, 2010. I thought it would be so simple, but the color of the petunias completely eluded me. I have lovely oil colors in the mauves and purples, so I'm sure it was "operator error" and I'm determined to try these guys again, see if I can't get the colors and that velvety look closer. Meanwhile, take one. This is another gallery wrapped canvas, so no frame is needed. Thanks for looking. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/

Burton's Island Revisited - SOLD

Burton's Island Revisited Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. It's really hot here in DC for the past few days, makes me think of water; lakes, oceans, bays, being at the shore....so I paint it instead. I've priced this one low, since I need to renew my DP Gallery membership, which is the price of this painting. Nel http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/
