White Tulips - SOLD

White Tulips
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $5 shipping

I'm actually busy doing a large sunflower painting (WIP photo below) but I bought white tulips that were just lovely and didn't want to completely waste them (gotta justify my flower purchases by painting them, right?) So, here's a little one for today's post.

Very Yellow Sunflowers - SOLD

Very Yellow Sunflowers
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"

Happy yellow sunflowers, I am getting more comfortable with these sunny faces. The feel comes back. My actual sunflower models have deep yellow petals, so that shows up as well.

Sun Face
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $5 shipping.

I'm gearing up for a large sunflower painting, and have found some sunflowers in the grocery store, though they have yellow centers, and I like the brown better.  But I am reminding myself how to paint them before I "go" on a large piece.

Waterfall - SOLD

Waterfall
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 18"
SOLD at $60.00 plus $10.00 shipping

This is a revised version of the waterfall from last week.
I changed the background, and added more color to the rocks, changed the shapes of some of them. Deepened the color of the water, you know, this and that. I think it's a happier and richer piece now.
