Spring Iris - NA

Spring Iris
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
Not Available, Revised on 5/20/2017

The iris is actually more purple than this, which on my monitor looks blue.
When I adjust my colors, to make the iris appear lavender, my background turns green instead of yellow. So, it just has to stay as is. Pretty though, it turned out nicely.

Spring Wanderings - SOLD

Spring Wanderings
Oil on Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD.

This one I found while unpacking books, and it took me awhile to find it on the blog. It was from last May, and used to look like this, below:


It had way too much odd color in it, strange blue turquoise shades, but I liked the overall composition of it, and thought it would be worth saving. The boards are way too precious to waste, anyway. And now it's more harmonious, I think. Better. You can click to see it larger, the texture is still all there.

Happy Blue Hydrangea - SOLD


Happy Blue Hydrangea
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.

Close Up Detail Below:
Color me "Happy" with all the light in my new apartment, (3 rooms, 9 windows, the big old kind) all my brushes and painting gear, my standing lamps, (good daylight bulbs) and almost all unpacked. Well, not entirely, but working on it. Yesterday I got to varnish all my "owed" paintings, and will start shipping as soon as my box supply comes (free) from the main PO.

I'm especially happy about the light here, and my daylight bulbs arranged again.
This one pretty much painted itself!

I am charging shipping again, since the free or included shipping was by way of appreciating your patience, waiting for paintings. We should get back on track soon.

Clear the Deck Sale - SOLD

This is the last piece for me to sell, since today is moving day.
Then no more moving, for a good long while anyway.

Blooming Lane
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
SOLD.

Just to clear the deck, then start fresh with clean canvases and brushes in my new place tomorrow.
Thanks for bearing with me during this long transition.

Little Winter Scene - SOLD

Little Winter Scene
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD

An odd choice at first glance, but this was the second demo that I watched Johannes Vloothuis do the other evening. Another little paint along. The Livestream demo is free and you can watch it HERE if you like.
