Tiny Cradled Landscape - SOLD

Tiny Cradled Landscape
Oil on Artist Panel, 6" x 6"
Edges painted, no frame needed
SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
We have rain this afternoon, which means my photos are not taken with much natural daylight. Somewhere between these two photos is the actual color of the tiny landscape painting. I think I am happiest with my landscapes when they have some sienna in them, touches of reddish brown. They just feel better.

Pocket Lemons 2 and 3 - SOLD

Pocket Lemons 2, Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 6", SOLD Pocket Lemons 3, Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 6", SOLD The tiny lemon painting yesterday was popular, so I did two more for people who had asked to buy the first one. They never turn out exactly alike, and goodness knows, that would be pretty boring, replicating as close as possible the same painting. However, you are never guaranteed the exact same "something" that attracted someone in the first place. You hope, but sometimes it just doesn't. In this case, it was fine, both collectors wanted the new pieces. And as one of them said, (loosely quoted) "You can never have enough lemons, to remind you to make lemonade out of what life serves up!" (good quote, M.)

Grogan Road Four - SOLD

Grogan Road Four Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD. This one, in this size, is done on request. I am trying to slowly get caught up on my request list, and this makes one more done. Yay! If the collector decides against getting it, I'll change this post to "available." Addendum: They liked it, wanted it, it's SOLD.

Lemons Two - SOLD

Lemons Two Oil on Stretchd Canvas, 8" x 16" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. One of my collectors had a request in for a painting similar to "Lemons in a Line Up" in the same 8" x 16" size. I had to search several art stores to find the canvas, so I bought two. Did the Lemons for him last night, and this one this afternoon. (Since I had all the colors out, and the lemons were looking good...) The sold one is below: Lemons for Alan Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 16" SOLD.
