Forest Kaleidoscope - SOLD

Forst Kaleidoscope
Oil on Stretched Black Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $40 plus $7 shipping in the US

Not sure about this one. I had it posted earlier, but it was pretty dark, so I "had at it" this morning. My object was to just play with lottsa color, and it shows. There are pastels, bright warm tones, cool greens, purples, you name it, it's in here. Too much, you think?

Barn in Fall - SOLD

Barn in Fall
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $55 plus $7 shipping

I generally avoid buildings, since the angles are tricky, but one of my sudents is cencentrating on city scenes, so I figured I'd better some buildings again, in order to be able to give her help. And I like this one. I'm not sure why they painted only one side of the barn red, but it's cool this way.

Two's Company... - SOLD

Two's Company...
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"

Still using and enjoying the fall colors, but with pears again.

Tiny Landscape (Research) - SOLD

Tiny Landscape (Research)
Oil on Gesso  Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $5 shipping

I am constantly impressed with how some of the daily painters can put so much information onto a 6" x 6" or some other equally small sized canvas. Entire scenes on such a small surface. So I wanted to see what I could do with a landscape. NOT easy. You have to use teensie brushes or the squared edges of larger ones. Your aim with the brush as to be accurate. Hats off to these people, who manage to put people and buildings, entire little worlds into such a tiny format.

Coupla Pears - SOLD

October Light - SOLD

October Light
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 16"
SOLD.

(Suggested Price $100 plus $15 shipping.)

Ths light on these beautiful, crisp fall days is just wonderful. I love how different trees catch brightness at different times of the day. This is a view of my neighborhood backyard in the late afternoon.

Golden Field - SOLD

Golden Field
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $35.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

This one used to be called Early Fall Field, but it didn't sell. I liked it well enough to want to make some adjustments and post it again at a lower price. Don't you want to go on a picnic here ( without the bugs, of course!)

Turn in the Road, Barre - NA

Turn in the Road, Barre
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
Not available, revised on 11/6/2011
I love how the splotches of sunshine work in this one.
The sense of dappled sun came out well, I think. I'm still happily using my reference photos from Massachusetts' falls.

Single Onion - SOLD

Single Onion
Oil on Gesso Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $20 plus $5 shipping.

I have a palette full of fall colors, so there will be a few more in these warm tones of autumn. Thanks for looking.

Fall in Yellow Purple Turquoise - SOLD

Fall in Yellow Purple Turquoise
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $35.00 plus $7.00 shipping

You wouldn't think these colors would work so well together, but a limited palette is a fine thing, and results in color harmony. After teaching class this morning, I was itchy to paint, but something easy. This one was just plain fun.

Apple Plate

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
Available at $35 plus $7 shipping in the US

My friend B is visiting from Massachusetts, and we've been able to get together a couple of times (YAY!) while she is here in Maryland helping her daughter. Since it's my birthday month, we "did" Tuesday Morning, and she bought me some new paring knives. I wanted to try one in a painting. Something a little different for me. Thanks for looking.

Peony Watercolor Cropped - SOLD

Crop One, 18" x 20"



Crop Two, 18" x 20"

The original watercolor is full sheet size, a 20" x 28" image on 22" x 30" paper.

I thought there might be too much dark in the watercolor, so I have tried a couple of ways to crop it. I like the first one the best, but you and your framer can try different ways to crop it. I will send the whole painting.

SOLD

And here's the original:

Fall Pond - SOLD

Fall Pond

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 18" x 24"

SOLD at $135.00, shipping included

Detail Below

I've included the detail, so that the range of colors will show.

This one is pretty big, and it's satisfying my reaction to the colors right now. Have you noticed how very blue the sky looks with all the yellows and golds against it? Sitting on my deck, looking at "my" woods, I keep being amazed at how deep a cobalt blue the sky is on sunny fall days.

Pear on Teal - SOLD

Pear on Teal
Oil on Gesso Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $20 plus $5 shipping.

Since the first pear was well liked, I did this one with a different background. Now I really need to eat this guy up. The pear is so delicate, that sitting in the spotlight is baking it.

Single Pear - SOLD

Single Pear
Oil on Gesso Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

And now it's time to eat this beauty.

Autumn Landscape 2 - SOLD

Autumn Landscape 2

Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"

SOLD at $45.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

Detail views below.

This is the same landscape as the demo I did in class on Thursday last. One of my collectors asked for it, but since it was already sold, I enjoyed doing another one, more carefully. When you demo, you are also trying to be quick so your students have time to paint, and then talking at the same time. It's a skill I'm trying to practice.

Pears with New Dishtowel - SOLD

Pears with New Dishtowel
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"

A brand new dishtowel from Tuesday Morning, and a couple of pretty pears.

Lovely tinges of color on the trees right now, some early leaves have fallen, scattered across the lawns.

Autumn Landscape Demo - SOLD

Autumn Landscape Demo
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $45.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

I have a few new people in my Thursday morning class, and I wanted to give them some "process" pointers. The very best way to do that is to show it, so I started this one as a demo in class yesterday and finished it up in the afternoon. We had a really "wow" thunderstorm last night, so no Internet all evening and this morning. So this one is late getting posted.
