High Summer Path - SOLD
High Summer Path
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $85.00 plus shipping.
I don't think I could like this one any better if it was painted by another artist. (And that's saying a lot!) I remember stopping on the road to take this photo in Maryland, I think it was on the way home from plein air painting with a group. It took all of twenty minutes to paint, nice thick paint to cover over a failed pansy painting that was scaped down but still tacky. Isn't it just a small gem? I really like the "air" in it. Thanks for looking.
Iris for Noelle - SOLD
Iris for Noelle
Oil on Canvas Board, 8" x 10"
Sold at $65.00 plus shipping.
Noelle is one of my collectors, and a sister of one of my avid floral collectors. She liked the one from yesterday, but has a frame in this size, and asked if I would do it again in the size to fit her frame. Oh, well, since it's an iris... I was out of the 8 x 10's, so found my very first (dismal) apple painting, sanded it down, and voila. Thanks for looking.

Vertical Iris SOLD
Vertical Iris
Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 12"
SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping.
This was the second one today, mostly because I had all sorts of lovely colors mixed and left over. Too nice to waste. Also because there have been so many requests for florals, and particularly the irises. I am happy to know that I'm not the only one with a passion for these gems. Thanks for looking.
Pink and Lilac Iris - SOLD

Stream on the Edge of Spring - SOLD
Stream on the Edge of Spring
Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 12"
SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping.
First time out this season. I think I forgot everything I learned last year about plein air painting, but it was wonderful to be out in the sunshine and fresh air anyway. This is Galloway Brook in Cook's Canyon, here in Barre. The stream was actually golden with the sun shining to the bottom of it. I do like the birches in this one. Thanks for looking.

Two Faces - SOLD
Apple Reflection
Apple Reflection
Oil on Canvas Board, 6" x 8"
Available at $40.00 plus shipping.
An apple on a mirror, painted as quickly as I could, with as large brushes as I could. It's a continuing effort to paint more loosely, with more regard for the paint and what it's doing than for the actual subject matter. (Besides, I'm working on taxes today. Yes, I know, "can you say procrastinate?") Thanks for looking.
