Where Does the Sun Find You? - SOLD

Where Does the Sun Find You?
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD.
Detail (Close-Up) Below:

This one is done with a palette knife, from imagination. It has a little story.
I started it last night, and got half way, and hated it. Was about to scrape the whole canvas off, then decided I could still do that today if I still hated it. But today it seemed to have some possibilities, so I finished it. Glad I didn't scrape it. It's one of my high texture pieces, done just with the tip and sides of the knife. You can see the texture in the detail photo.

Light Lavender Iris - SOLD

Light Lavender Iris
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 8"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



There were so many "frills" on this iris that I felt like I was trying to channel Georgia. Just the blended organic feel of things here. Hope you like it.

To the Meadow - SOLD

To the Meadow
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD at $125 plus $10 shipping.



This is again, a larger landscape, and took a couple of days to complete.
I'm really pretty happy with it; like the mood and feeling of it.

Woodland Gem - SOLD

Woodland Gem
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD at $30 plus $10 shipping.



I generally don't brag on my own work, but I'm just tickled with how nicely this one turned out. So I'm calling it a "gem" because I think it is. The bit of lavender in the sky, the pink tinge to the road, the subtle way the trees along the road in the background came out, the soft shadows in the road, like an overcast day...all nice. I'm happy with it.

Limes in the Limelight - SOLD

Limes in the Limelight
Oil on GessoBord, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.




6/10/17: I've lightened the shadows, and taken another photo in natural light.
Big difference!

Next to the lemons in the display case at the Natural Foods store, so pretty.
The greens are tricky, though, as green usually is.

Row of Strawberries - SOLD

Row of Strawberries
Oil on Canvas Panel, 4" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.



The berries at the Natural Foods store were so beautiful and big, I just could not resist.
This one is small, and there is a tiny corner where I didn't paint yet, a dry place to hold the canvas while I painted it. (bottom left) That will be covered as soon as I can handle it.

Cannon Street Back Alley - SOLD

It was such a gorgeous day today, that after I did my revisions this morning, I gathered my gear and walked to our back alley. (Just in the backyard.) It's the way some folks on Cannon get to their back parking, and I think it's just lovely. (The ditch is where the frogs congregate to serenade at night.)

Cannon Street Back Alley
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $45 plus $10 shipping.



I'll probably do this one again, without forgetting what I forgot today...bug spray, a hat to keep my hair from getting in my face... I found colors very hard to judge in the shade, looking into the sun.
But had a great time painting.

Here are the revisions for today.

Oil on GessoBord, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping



Back to cruising the Natural Foods store, picking up things like Hummus and Pesto, yum, and found this unusual lemon, with a crease, which I thought was appealing. A little dramatic lighting, and we're good to go.

It felt good to paint another landscape, full of sunshine and dappled patterns.
My kind of painting!

I figured out how to photograph purple, a little triumph for me. I only use the yellowish lights I have, the overhead and a couple of yellow lights in my pole lights. I turn off all my daylight bulbs, and voila! I've got purple.

The Downward Glance - SOLD

The Downward Glance
Oil on Gessobord, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



I thought I was done with the pears,  but I had this Gessobord coated with red/pink tinted Gesso, and wanted to see if I liked the surface better, (I did, it wasn't as slippery)... the pears were handy...so you know how it goes. One more time with these same lovely pears. They're hanging on.

Spring Green Creek - NA

Spring Green Creek
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16"
Reworked on 6/15/17

A landscape was just the ticket for today, one with a lot of swish and foliage, and not much detail.
Inspired by all the light and delicate Spring greens out these past couple of weeks.This one is quite soft and quiet.

Strawberries on Patterned Plate - SOLD

Strawberries on Patterned Plate
Oil on Gessobord, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



The plate is part of a nice set of bowls and small bread and butter plates that I found at 2nd Avenue, a thrift shop that we loved going to in Laurel.  I had intended to do a landscape today, but I was seduced by the berries at the Farmer's Market yesterday, and actually ate the rest before the painting was done. Dark red and juicy all the way thru, so fresh.

Pears for FD - SOLD

Pears for FD - SOLD
Oil on GessoBord, 6" x 6"

Another version of the pears in dramatic light.
I think  I've gotten my money's worth out of these sweet pears.
Now to let them ripen completely, and enjoy them!

Purple Iris - SOLD

Purple Iris
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 10"
SOLD.



This is a revision of an earlier piece, and I think improved.
Although last week I found s stand of beautiful frilly lavender irises that I will have fun with going forward. Took bunches of photos.

Pears with Drama - SOLD

Pears with Drama
Oil on Gessobord, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



I could not see using these lovely pears just once, so here they are again. (They were expensive, organic, from the Natural Foods Store! I looked for lumps and nice stems, an artists' way of picking fruit!)  Today I went for drama with these little guys. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.

Two Pears Square - SOLD

Two Pears Square
Oil on Gesso Bord, 6" x 6" x 3/8"
SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.



This one is an easy piece, the 3/8" sides, top and bottom are painted, and there is a hanging hole in the back, so you can simply find a place and pop this one a nail in the wall. Easy peasy!
