White Tulip 2011 - SOLD

White Tulip 2011 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping. As happens often, when I do a painting that doesn't turn out so well, I have to "get back on the horse" and paint a good one. Yesterday's magnolia that didn't turn out well, prompted this one, which did.

Curly Magnolia - NA

Curly Magnolia
Oil on Linen, 10" x 10"
Not Available, revised on 7/14/2011.

I'm not happy with this one. The linen made everything hard to blend, so it's pretty rough, by necessity. And it got darker than I like, but here it is anyway. I figured someone might like it. And I get to move on, maybe come back and try this flower stem again. (it's a new one from Michael's.)

Shoreline Light - SOLD

Shoreline Light Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 16" SOLD at $75.00 plus $15.00 shipping. We've got nice weather today in the DC area, in the 70's. Yay! And that wonderful smell of warm air, has me also thinking about the ocean. Soon, my friends.

Fall Surround - SOLD

Fall Surround Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. I enjoyed using the turquoise in this one, set against the reds. Great colors together. (Thanks for the loan of the photo, E.)

Emerging from the Shade - SOLD

Revised Vase with Hydrangeas - SOLD

Revised Vase with Hydrangeas Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Another one from a couple of weeks ago, that was "close but no cigar." I clarified the colors, changed the pot, and the foreground, added more shadows. Ahhh, much better.

Revised Creek - SOLD

Revised Creek Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $40.00 plus $5.00 shipping. There was a lot of interest in this one from a couple of weeks ago. I think that we all love water and trees. But there was a lot of yellowish reflection in the creek, and it was passed by. So today I declared it a revisions day, and this was one of them, and I dropped the price a bit.

Onions in the Spotlight - SOLD

Onions in the Spotlight Oil on Stretched Linen, 10" x 10" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. I loved the long top on this onion, carefully preserving it on the way home form the grocery store, making sure that it was on the top of the pile of bags in the cart. And going without a nice slice of onion on my last night's hamburger. Such sacrifices we artists' make....

Clinging Leaves Two - SOLD

Clinging Winter Leaves - SOLD

Clinging Winter Leaves Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Although I worked from an old photo from Massachusetts, there are a few of these golden guys hanging on to the trees outside my Maryland apartment. I love it when the sun catches them, and become so grateful for their touches of color against all the subtle winter shades.

Blues and Greens, Revised

Blues and Greens, Revised Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 10" x 10" Available at $50.00 plus shipping. Ahhh, much better. Straightened out the mug, made the shadow cleaner, made the bowl bluer, you know.

Panoramic Creek Scene Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 24" Revised on March 1, 2011. Large Rock Creek Scene Oil on Stretched Canvas, 20" x 20" SOLD. Since I was working on this creek scene today, by request (the larger version), I decided to go ahead and do a second one to be available. I kind of like seeing the different feel in the two of them.

Landscape Practice - NA

Landscape Practice Oil on Linen Canvas, 10" x 10" Revised, see Feb. 14, 2011. Switching gears to landscape, and doing a little practice beforehand. I've got a couple of larger landscapes to do for commissions. For those of you who are keen football fans, enjoy today's SuperBowl.

Delicate Magnolia - SOLD

Delicate Magnolia Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, 12" x 12" x 1.25" SOLD at $80.00 plus shipping. This one is gallery wrapped and will need no frame. I just felt like something soft and delicate today.

Apple and Chintz - SOLD

Apple and Chintz Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. I was excited about this one, until I realized that I'd kind of lost the cups in all the fun chintz fabric. I've had trouble with these cups before, they are such an odd color of green gray. No reason I shouldn't be able to paint them, though. Hmmm. Another try, I guess.
