Gallery Wrapped Sienna Iris - SOLD
Gallery Wrapped Sienna Iris
Detail of wrap below
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 8" x 8" x 1.25"
Sold.
Odd today to be painting a sunny iris while the snow just poured down in the DC area, but that's what I had planned, so I put on some Christmas music and laughed at the contradiction. Nice to be in the middle of a snow storm if you don't have to go out, and the report was that there wasn't anyplace to go anyway, since everything was closed.

Image size slightly smaller
SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
My dear cousins treated me to the most gorgeous, full bloomed pointsettia I've ever had, and so I just had to pick out a couple of the blooms to try with watercolors. I think there must be 30 separate blooms on the plant. Gorgeous! Thanks, H and D.

Summer Rooftops
Summer Rooftops
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
Available at $60.00 plus shipping.
This one is a repeat of a plein air piece I did this past summer, looking out our 5th floor window. I changed it up a bit, and made the front roof more red. The collector who requested it opted to pass, and it happens from time to time. Sometimes a painting will just "sing" to you, and the repeat doesn't.
