Spreading Bouquet - SOLD

Spreading Bouquet
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

I just let this one evolve as it wanted to. We had done a vase with flowers in class, and it was fun, so I wanted to do one in oils, and this is what resulted.

Down to the Water 2 - SOLD

Down to the Water 2
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

Another version of the painting from the other day.

Pink Peony - SOLD

Pink Peony
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

I decided to offer this one again, since it didn't sell the first time around. I've cut the price as well.

Evening Glow - SOLD

Evening Glow
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

This one is revised from an earlier piece called Frosted Sunset. I added more orange, and used palette knife work to punch the darks and add more oomph to the trees. Better, I think.

Boat and Birch - SOLD

Boat and Birch
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

A quiet little inlet, and a boat tied to a birch tree.

Tea Cup on Red - SOLD

Tea Cup on Red
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
SOLD.

With this one, I paid more attention to the shape of the cup and the flowers in the pattern.
I have some "gold" oil paint, so I used that on the trim. Fun stuff.

Broken Color, Dapples - SOLD

Broken Color, Dapples
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

I posted this one the other day, and have now revised it some. I like it better, looks fresher.
I think it has more "punch" now.
Below is what it looked like before revisions:

...With Lemon - SOLD

...With Lemon
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8"
SOLD.

A little kitchen painting for today.

Down to the Water - SOLD

Down to the Water
Oil over Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
SOLD.

The road may loop around the lake, or it may go past a little sandy beach. We are left to wonder.
Although I haven't seen a lake, stream, pool, river or ocean this summer, right now I'm thinking water.

Cottage with Red Roof - SOLD

Cottage with Red Roof
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

This one was called "Painting with Kayla" and I've revised it. I softened the sky, eased the background trees and toned down the path a little. Much better now, I think.

Pink Peony - SOLD

Pink Peony
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

Another floral close up. My lady subscribers seem to really like these.
I'm pretty happy with it.

Shadowed Path - NA

Shadowed Path - NA
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
Revised on August 24, 2013.

A little woodsy scene for today.
A touch of fall already in the sir.

White Peony - SOLD

White Peony
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD

This one is in oils on stretched canvas. I like the crispness here, and the sense of shadows.

Little Boat Waiting - SOLD

Little Boat Waiting
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

A summery feeling scene for you today. A little boat waits for her riders while they take a meandering walk along the lake...could be, right?

Frosted Sunset - SOLD

Frosted Sunset
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
Revised and SOLD.

Sunset study today, a return to landscape after some florals. I'm working here with an emphasis on Cool Green, Orange and Lavender.

White Summer Rose - SOLD

White Summer Rose
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

Another white flower for you. I love these blues, lavenders and greys.

Watercolor Peony - SOLD

Watercolor Peony
Watercolor on Arches 300 pound paper, Full sheet size 22.5" x 30.5"
SOLD.

I haven't done many watercolors this summer, but since I had a sheet of good paper, and am out of canvas at the moment, and my Geico is due, all good reasons to tackle a time consuming watercolor painting. I'm pretty happy with it. And since I don't do many, folks always love the watercolors.

This one could be "floated" in a frame, since I've painted all the way out to the deckle edge, see detail below.

Summer Drive - SOLD

Summer Drive
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

The sort of thing you see when you are en route to a summer vacation, beach, mountains.
Fields growing under a summer sky, farmland rolling by from the highway.

Breaking Fog- SOLD

Breaking Fog
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

I was going for a fog feeling here, but not everywhere. I do like the sky.

Painting with Kayla - SOLD

Painting with Kayla
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
Revised and SOLD.

I have yet to run across a grand child who doesn't like to get into my painting gear. There's something about all those colors and a brush to wield that just makes them want to try. Today I let my 5 year old granddaughter Kayla paint a canvas, and then I used what she did as an underpainting. Nice, huh? (She chose all the bright, intense colors, and of course there was a big yellow sun with rays in the sky....)
