Autumn Lake

Autumn Lake
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
Available.

This is yesterday's painting, much revised. I scraped off the entire sky and water, and gave it blue sky instead of clouds and overcast (figure who wants to hand an overcast day on their wall?) I cleaned up the yellows, and explained the blank dark space with bluer pines in front. I added tree trunks to the background grey, and made the water cleaner.
Ahhh, much better!

Revised on 10/24/2012

This one has a graphic look to it, doesn't it?
There are actually two kinds of Morning Glories blooming right now on my back fence, the "regular" kind and a smaller, more purple one. Just lovely!

Sunflower Bunch
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD

Details (Close ups) Below:

A big, happy bunch of sunflowers. So cheerful. This one I still had from March, when it had two jars. I painted a new, center jar, eliminated the other two jars, added a couple of blooms, and repainted the background. The background is actually a very subtle, lavender grey, gradated darker at the bottom.
Happy, isn't it?

Around the Bend Two - SOLD

Around the Bend Two
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD.

This one has a bit of a history. It used to be a waterfall, repainted three times. Then yesterday I took a razor knife and scraped much of the old paint off. In the process, I made a small slice in the canvas, about 1/4" near the bottom. It's been patched with new paint (and you probably would have to really search to find it.)

It's a second version of the one I did day before yesterday (see post below this one) for a collector who really liked that one, but this one not so much. This does have a lot of texture, because of the paint underneath. Hence, the lower price.

We have a still life lesson this week at Michaels, so I decided to try some peaches, which we haven't painted in class before. I think when I design the pattern, I'll tip one of the peaches down (on the top one) so there's a little more interest.
