Soft Pink Tulip - NA

Soft Pink Tulip
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Revised, see posting 3/20/2011.

A spot of soft pink today. Have you gotten used to the new time yet? I keep looking for that lost hour, thinking it's earlier than it is now.

Lake Lashaway - SOLD

Lake Lashaway Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD. This one was done by request, a repeat of a painting from several years ago. Wow, has it really been that long? Hmmm, how the time does fly when you're painting! (I love my job.)

Down in the Valley - SOLD

Down in the Valley Oil on Stretched Linen, 6" x 6" SOLD on ebay. To bid click here.

This one does NOT work up close, but from a little distance, all that blue really sings. See the little town in the valley? Palette knife and brush work. I'm happy with it.

Fall Mosaic Two - SOLD

Fall Mosaic Two Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. This one will be a straightforward sale, as I transition to my experiment with ebay, and figure out how to best sell my work. Thanks for looking!

Spring Hydrangeas - SOLD

Spring Hydrangeas
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
SOLD

I put this one up several days ago, so it has a short shelf life, as it were.
Sold through Ebay.

Green Apple with Stripes - SOLD

Green Apple with Stripes Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 6" SOLD on Ebay. Click here to bid. I'm trying something new. Since I continue to get emails telling me that my prices are too low, but I hesitate to raise them with the economy the way it is, I'm going to try Ebay again, just as an experiment, to let you guys set the prices. Not everything will go on eBay, I'll still post some things here at set prices, but I'll try to fill up my Ebay Store, meanwhile.

Sunlight and Shade - SOLD

Sunlight and Shade
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping.

I've done this one recently, and it was well received, so here is another version of it. I've made the shaded areas less dark, as a result of taking Johannes Vloothuis's Webinar, through Wet Canvas, an excellent (and free!) class.

Autumn Mauves - NA

Autumn Mauves Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" Revised and reposted on March 20, 2011. Now available through ebay auction. A colorful fall scene with lots of mauve in it. And that intense splash of color in the background, yummy.

Sad Pink Tulips - SOLD

Sad Pink Tulips Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. I have to laugh at myself. I wanted tulips, and this pot of pinks were the only ones kind of "open." By the time I got them under my lights to paint...? You guessed it. As I finished the painting, they were completely flopped open.

Fall Color Sketch - SOLD

Fall Color Sketch Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. I'm going to do this one next week, carefully. For tonight though, a quick color sketch in oils, without much detail.

Palette Knife Pond - SOLD

Palette Knife Pond Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 8" SOLD at $15.00 plus $5.00 shipping. A little palette knife painting, with some fun colors, a bit different for me.

Revised Panoramic Creek

Revised Panoramic Creek Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 24" Available at $75.00 plus shipping. Some nice revisions on this one, added some cool colors, changed the rocks and water a little. Better, I think.

Saturday Hydrangea - SOLD

Saturday Hydrangea Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $55.00 plus shipping. Since this one didn't make the DP Gallery, I am posting it again. It will be picked up by DP for tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

Large White Peony - SOLD

Large White Peony Oil on Stretched Canvas, 20" x 24" SOLD at $125.00 plus $15.00 shipping. I've done this one before, in both oil and watercolor, but it doesn't loose it's freshness. My collectors always like the white florals.

Fall Mosaic - SOLD

Fall Mosaic Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. A more impressionistic landscape, everything suggested, and all those great colors to play with. A pathway with a little orange gem at the end.

From a real Hydrangea - SOLD

From a real Hydrangea Oil on Linen Panel, 9" x 12" SOLD at $60.00 plus $5.00 shipping I was in the grocery store yesterday for coffee, and they had two gorgeous hydrangea plants, so I totally splurged and bought one. I am hoping that it'll take in my little garden this spring. The tag says that if the soil is alkaline, it will turn pink, isn't that interesting? And acid soil will keep it blue.

Sky Play - SOLD

Sky Play Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $40.00 plus shipping. Since I had a lot of "autumn" colors leftover from the fall painting yesterday, I decided to do a sky with pastels of the reds, oranges and yellows. A little made up scene, didn't the sky turn out nicely?

Fall Surround 2 - SOLD

Fall Surround 2 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD at $80.00 plus $15.00 shipping. This is the second painting from the reference photo I borrowed from my student. It has a different sort of flavor from the first one, posted earlier this past week. I used more blue in this one, less sienna, and the rocks on this one I did with a palette knife. Gotta love the fall colors, even if it is February!

Irises Watercolor 2011 - SOLD

Irises Watercolor 2011
Watercolor on 300 lb Arches paper, full sheet, 22.5" x 30"
SOLD at $125.00 plus $10.00 shipping. Detail below.

My first iris watercolor of the year. This is a pretty big painting, took 3 days to get it done. It does have some presence. If you're a fan of these colors, I think you'll be pleased with the watercolor in person.

Spring Splash Hydrangea - SOLD

Spring Splash Hydrangea Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $35.00 plus $5.00 I am actually working on a large iris watercolor for the past few days, but it takes some time, so meanwhile here's a small hydrangea painting for my daily post. I added a new color to this one, light, soft yellow. It adds, I think.
