Hay Rolls - SOLD

Another larger painting, of an open-spaced meadow, with hay rolls waiting for their pick up.
Peaceful, isn't it?

Strawberries - SOLD

Strawberries
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

I should draw your attention to the size of this canvas, since at first glance, you wouldn't notice that these are way oversized strawberries. The one on the right is about 6" top to bottom. I didn't want to waste all the red on my palette, so here you go.

Berries One and Two - SOLD

Oil on Stretched Canvas, 5" x 7"
SOLD at $25.00 plus $5 shipping

Berries Two - SOLD
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 5" x 7"

Since I wanted to eat these guys, I figured I'd better paint two pieces, while I could.
Berries One will be used to fill a collector request.

Color Play - SOLD

Color Play
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $40 plus $7 shipping.
Detail below.

When I opened my Pastel Journal email this morning, there was a little article by Richard McKinley about a technique he was using called "Sfumato," which apparently originated with Leonardo daVinci. I've gleaned that it refers to a blurred-edged, smoky kind of atmosphere in painting. No lines or hard edges. So I wanted to try it, just letting all the edges soften into each other. Kinda fun, I think, except that without meaning to, or trying to, my painting looks somewhat like the example.  I wasn't copying, I promise.
