Young Man - SOLD

Young Man
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Close Up Below:

I thought I would try some faces. Not portraits, mind you, just faces off the Internet. Perhaps the likenesses will come with practice, because although this looks like a young man, it isn't very close to the reference.

Farmhouse on the Hill - SOLD

Farmhouse on the Hill
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

I thought this one was sold, but since I couldn't promise pre-Christmas delivery, the collector decided to pass on it. Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas Day yesterday.

Snowy Stream - SOLD

Wishing you each and every one a blessed Christmas, and a meaningful and prosperous 2013.

Candy Cane Floral - SOLD

Candy Cane Floral
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 10" x 10" x 1.5"
No frame is needed.
SOLD.

Okay, it's a stretch, isn't it? But it did remind me of a candy cane when I was painting it.
I haven't posted for a few days, since once we got our Internet back, I got sick with the flu. (Maybe getting a flu shot would have been a good idea, coulda shoulda woulda.)

Hope all your plans for Christmas are shaping up nicely, and you are well.

Knife Landscape, Small

Knife Landscape, Small
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
Available.

If you are interested in this little palette knife landscape, please send an email to NelVanL@aol.com.
Don't worry if I don't respond right away, as our Internet is down at home (I'm having withdrawal) and I'm writing from our local McDonalds. (No TV either, which means no CNN in the background while I paint.)

This is what happens to lemon paintings that don't turn out well, or earn their keep by selling.
Bad lemons! December 15. (or maybe the painter wasn't quite on the ball...)

We had a very long class (8 hours) yesterday (my paint-along with Johannes Vloothuis) and out of the three paintings Joe did, I was only able to complete one, the fall landscape. Today I revised the winter light piece, (thicker tree trunks, more barkiness) and I am offering the two at "best offer" prices. Please send an email to NelVanL@aol.com if you are interested in making an offer on either one. Please don't forget that I'll add $7 shipping to the smaller one, and $12 shipping to the larger one.

Winter Light -SOLD

Winter Light
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

This was our painting (mine is somewhat altered from the class painting) for this past Saturday, but because my little granddaughter, Kayla, was here visiting, I only got a couple of hours of painting in. Then used the video and finished it up yesterday and today, several hours each day. Don't you love the colors?

I do plan on doing it again, and now that I know where I'm going, I think I'll have even more success.

I wanted to see how different a pre-painting would be from the guided step-by-step painting we'll do in class tomorrow, so I used tomorrow's reference photo and did this one. We'll see what changes there are tomorrow.

SOLD.

I participated in our online class yesterday with Johannes Vloothuis ,which is a 6 hour paint-along, and although he was doing his church in watercolor, I picked up a lot of good information for oils as well. Isn't this charming? Thanks for looking.

Sky and Wildflowers (or maybe Tulips?)
Oil over Acrylics on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
