Lake Needwood, Revised - SOLD

Lake Needwood, Revised
Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 9" x 12"
SOLD.
The original version is below.
This plein air piece sold, but the collector gave me permission to revise it a bit, since I wasn't quite happy with it. I made the water more reflective of the sky (that is, I made it blue) and changed the left side altogether, and fixed the grass in the foreground. Ahh, much better.

The Last Sunflowers - SOLD

The Last Sunflowers
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping.

There were 2 bunches of somewhat sad looking sunflowers still at my local Giant, so I picked the better looking bunch and brought them home. I don't think there will be any more this year, so I'll do the best I can with this last bunch.

Yellow Onions - SOLD

Yellow Onions Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $40.00 plus $5.00 shipping. There have been so many beautiful onion paintings lately, that I wanted to try one too. Not as easy as you would think. Pinks, oranges, yellows, purples, sienna, all these colors in an onion.

Plein Air Lake Needwood - SOLD

Plein Air Lake Needwood Oil on Stretched Linen, 9" x 12" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping.
OK, today was a plein air afternoon, and the day could not have been any more beautiful. Bright sunshine, clear skies, only a slight breeze. It was good to be out in the day, painting, and I got some nice photos taking a walk around the lake.
