Flowering Tree - SOLD

Flowering Tree
Oil on Hardboard, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.




I've got to do at least one blooming tree portrait for Spring.  
This one looks a little more lavender than the painting actually is. I mean, it is pink/magenta, but not this purple. There may be more, they really are fun to paint.

Neighborhood Daffodils - SOLD

This one was crazy to paint, all those little leaves.  
I did it from some photos of one of the neighborhood front gardens in our neighborhood. 
Lots of daffodils!

Every once in awhile, it's fun to take an old painting, and give it a second look. See what is disconcerting about it maybe, or what could be improved. In this case, the painting felt closed in somehow, so I tried "opening" it up, and adding more space. The path also stopped fairly abruptly, with little visual explanation. Below is how it looked before:

Cherry Blossoms Take Two - SOLD

Cherry Blossoms, Take Two
Oil on Hardboard, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



So a little experiment: I put yesterday's painting away, and didn't refer to it at all, while working on a second painting from the same reference. Interesting the differences.
