Running River - SOLD

Running River, revised
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 24" x 24"
SOLD at $150, includes shipping.

This one had a lot of views on Daily Painters, but it didn't sell. Since it does me no good on my wall, I revised it a little today and have dropped the price. I brightened the water and the sky, dropped the horizon line a little, added some more color to the trees. Better now, I think.

Pears and Blue Vase

This is the last chance for this guy, which used to look like this:


After this I will just consider it a misfire, and see what else might happen on this canvas, maybe a palette knife painting over top.

Maybe the question is impertinent, but when I paint pathways like this one, I always think of the symbol of life's journey (yeah, I know, pretty old cliche.) But there you go. Aren't the greens and purples nice together?

Woods on Black - NA

Woods on Black
Oil on Stretched Black Gessoed Canvas, 12" x 12"
Revised on 10/29/2011.

Michael's has black gessoed canvas available right now, and I thought I'd play with this size, see what I could come up with. It was easier to cover than I expected. This is sort of an indoor out painting. I sat outside for awhile, memorizing what I was seeing, then came back in and painted, then back out again....

You've seen another one done from this reference photo before, but it's been awhile.
