Starfruit

Starfruit
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
Available at $45.00 plus shipping.

An experimental painting using a limited palette of yellows and purples only, plus white. It does have a nice harmony, doesn't it? I think this palette might work for a winter landscape also.

Mango with Red Pitcher - SOLD

Mango with Red Pitcher
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD

Another one of my treasure finds from Tuesday Morning, the little shiny red pitcher (maybe an unmatched creamer?) I had it side lit, then tried top lighting, and liked it much better. It showed off the shine in the little pitcher, and made the mango more dramatic.

Colored Magnolia - SOLD

Colored Magnolia Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping. Trying out a floral with a new silk flower.

Grinning Pig

Grinning Pig Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" Available at $40.00 plus shipping. Okay, you're thinking "What was she thinking?" and I get it. He doesn't exactly convey the delight I felt when I spotted him in the Tuesday Morning. There were 2 of them, one standing, terra cotta statues, but since they were each $15.00, I couldn't bring them both home. I thought I would justify my little splurge by painting him, but oh, well...they can't all be successful. I really didn't catch the red, did I? Anyway, I'm enjoying this happy little studio mascot.

Amherst Autumn 3 - SOLD

Amherst Autumn 3 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD at $85.00 plus shipping. I've used this photo reference a few times before, and still really like it. This one is rich, done on a reddish purple colored background, with lots of small brush strokes to define the colors. It's a fun process.
