Pears on Artichoke Dish Towel - SOLD

Pears on Artichoke Dish Towel
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD.

It's been awhile since I did anything complicated with a still life, but I was gifted some treasures from Tuesday Morning, (thanks so much, B.) and a couple of new dish towels were calling me to paint them. The cloth here is a graphic artichoke design, and I love the colors. The light is actually a soft cream color, not white.

Country Road, Revised - SOLD

I softened the hard lines of the road, balanced the foliage a little more, and reshaped to simplify some of the cast shadows. I also added dropped leaves in the road, which makes more sense.

Fence Glories - SOLD

Fence Glories
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD.

This one was done by request, but the collector decided to pass on it.
So it now becomes available.
The fence looks so bare now, since the Morning Glories got nipped, and I had to tear them all down.
I plan to have more next year, yay!

I'm thinking of this or something like this for our landscape class on Wednesday.
I think my students would enjoy the yellow tree, but maybe something more simple for the rest.

My friend Sue and I went this morning to the Plaza Open House. We got to play with lots of art materials, try out some new things, watch some demos. Great artsy fun! I did this little tiny painting, thought it was good enough to sell. I'll paint the sides, top and bottom when it's dry enough to handle. No frame needed.

I revised this one this morning, cleaned up the colors a little, and made the petals more distinct.
AND lowered the price. The top blossom is actually purples, though it looks more blue on my laptop, maybe on your computer also.
