Soft Yellow Roses - SOLD

Soft Yellow Roses Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 10" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. I was trying here for the softest possible yellow toned colors I could get. Contrasting with just a few spots of bright white and yellow to set the pastels off. I think it's a fun little piece. Thanks for looking.

Summer Still

Summer Still Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 12" Available at $85.00 plus shipping. I simply love this image. The quiet heat of summer, and a lonely, abandoned house at the end of a dirt lane. Thanks for looking.

Triplets - SOLD

Triplets Oil on Canvas Board, 12" x 16" SOLD at $90.00 plus shipping. Yellow and purple irises might be one of my favorites. I'm not sure if they grow in Louisiana, maybe. It will be interesting to see all the different kinds of flowers that thrive in the South. I really like this one. Of course, by next spring, I hope to look at it again, and say, wow, I've come a long ways since then. Thanks for looking.

Garlic Row - SOLD

Garlic Row Oil on Canvas mounted on board, 5.5" x 12" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Simple garlic in a row. What I really like about this one is the tiny spot of light shining between the two on the right. Thanks for looking.

Brookside Again

Brookside Again Oil on Canvas Board, 12" x 16" Available at $80.00 plus shipping. Just because I wanted to try this one again on a different surface, canvases being like everything else, of varying characteristics. The one I used yesterday was smooth toothed, and the paint wouldn't slip the way I'm used to. Nice for fine work. This felt better, though. Thanks for looking.

Brookside Walking - NA

Brookside Walking Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16" Not Available, I must have reused the canvas. On Mother's Day, a gorgeous day except for the nasty buggies, we decided to take a nice walk in Cook's Canyon, and I was able to shoot a few photos. I loved the reflections of the new bright spring green at this spot, and the kids liked the water and rocks (they make such a nice splash.) My daughter used this one on her new blog, Natale Times and called it "Ducks in a Row". Isn't that cute? Thanks for looking.

Peppers on Plate - SOLD

Peppers on Plate Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. This one was originally done on Novemver 12th, but it was always too much green, so I changed the background, and I like it much better. I am leaving the price as initially posted. Thanks for looking.

Top Heavy

Top Heavy Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16" Available at $115.00 plus shipping. So full, it's bending over with bloom. This one is a bit different, with it's off kilter composition, but I think that's interesting. Thanks for looking.

Blues and Greens - Not Available

Blues and Greens Oil on Canvas Board, 12" x 16" Not available. Lovely blues and turquoises, soft cool and warm greens, in a simple imaginary landscape. Right now there are covers of dandelions all up and down the road, in open grassy fields. I did have that in mind when I did this one, but changed the colors to wildflowers. Thanks for looking.
