Happy Plums - SOLD

Happy Plums
Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping.
Just a quick study today, to allow for a little day trip to the bay (Chesapeake, that is.). Ah, water, so fine. Lunch at a neat beachy outdoor cafe called The Jetty, yummy crabcake sandwiches. Good summery stuff.

Wild Mama Blues - NA

Wild Mama Blues Water Soluble Oils on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" Not available. Different medium, different frustrations. This one was so tough today. Using a combination of different brands of the water soulble oils, and finding them very challenging. I used some "wild Mama blues" in here.

The Greens of Summer - SOLD

The Greens of Summer Oil on Stretched Canvas, 18" x18" SOLD at $100 plus shipping. A larger painting today, lots of summer colors. I was thinking about that Paul Simon song, remember it? It felt good to strech after a string of small pieces.

Pepper Pairs - SOLD


Pepper Pairs
Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10"
SOLD.
I was able to find some long red peppers, so continued with the pepper paintings.
Isn't this one nice and crisp?

Two Pepper Faces

Two Pepper Faces Oil on Art Panel, 6" x 6" Painted small "cradle" of 3/8" Available at $45.00 plus $5.00 shipping. The back of these little panel boards has a small hole that you can use to hang the painting. (Shown at bottom.) I have painted around the edges (except for top and bottom, which will be painted as soon as the rest is dry) so the painting will not need to be framed.

Summer Clouds - SOLD

Summer Clouds
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping.
This one was ordered a few weeks ago, and the collector changed her mind (for the sake of her newly discovered pregnancy, I'm happy for her.) So now it's a blog painting, and up for grabs.
Addendum: Here's a little something to encourage your belief in the goodness of people: one of my "patrons" decided to buy the painting as a gift for the lady who is expecting. Isn't that dear? Thanks, J.

Pepper Hugs - SOLD

Pepper Hugs Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. I had a request for a repeat of a pepper painting, and I really am trying to catch up with my requests. The collector asked for as close to the original as possible, and this one is actually quite different. Hence, the HOLD until the collector decides. Please click to see larger.
