Dapples and Sparkles - SOLD

Dapples and Sparkles Oil on Stretched Canvas Gallery Wrapped Detail 12" x 16" Sold at $50.00 plus $15.00 shipping. Another woodland scene today on a gallery wrapped canvas, which needs no frame. I've shown a detail of the painting continued on the edges. The bottom will need painting, once the sides and top are dry, so the shipping will be a bit delayed on this one. I really like the combination of greens and burnt oranges, touches of citron. Thanks for looking. Have a wonderful weekend.

Winter Waters - SOLD

Winter Waters
9" x 12"
Oil on Canvas board
Sold at $40.00 plus shipping.
We've had so little snow this winter in the DC area, that the first nice day I could find after our snowfall last week, I headed out with my camera. The water was so lovely and dark at Lake Needwood, and bright snow with wonderful shadows, that I have a lot of good photos to work from. Using those wonderful winter colors again. Thanks for looking.

Petersen Road
12" x 16"
Oil on canvas board
Sold at $50.00
I've done another version of this scene, but without the tree. The sky on this one is very blue, and I'm happy with the way the tree turned out, dappled with sunshine. Thanks for looking.

Shady Road, Barre - SOLD

Shady Road, Barre
16" x 20"
Oil on Stretched Canvas
Sold.
This is another of the finish-up paintings, done on a red gesso undercoat, with a limited palette.
I like how the shade feels shady, a few shafts of light peeking through. The photo for this one was taken the same day as photos for "Naptime in October," what a gorgeous day that was. There is a little glare on the right side of the painting, but after ten shots, this was the best one. Thanks for looking.

Red Pepper Grouping - NFS

Red Pepper Grouping
Oil on Canvas board
8" x 10"
Gifted.
Okay, this is the last of the peppers for awhile. I can feel myself eager for some blue paint, some water, some sky. Landscape tomorrow, of one kind of another.
Thanks for looking, and for being patient with the pepper series.

Red Pepper
6" x 8"
Oil on Canvas board
Sold.
The last one in the series. This one turned out very nicely, I think.
I would be happy to sell all four as a set at $100.00 plus shipping. They would look great all lined up with simple frames. Thanks for looking.

Yellow Pepper - SOLD

Yellow Pepper
6" x 8"
Oil on Canvas board
Sold.
The third in the peppers series, and I was thinking today that maybe I ought to do a "parade of peppers" with four of them. Wouldn't that be fun to paint? Anyway, here's the yellow one, at the same size as the two previous. Thanks for looking.
