I liked these two pears yesterday, because they still had leaves clinging to them.
A fun little bonus for the pears. Thanks for looking.

October Blooms



October Blooms
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"
Please send an email for pricing information.

This one is revised from October 6.
I thought that the shadows were too deep, and that the blue wasn't strong enough.
Better, I think.

Yellow Fall Tree - SOLD


Yellow Fall Tree
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Detail (Close Up) Below:

I've been studying my price points this week, seeing at what prices I get sales. It seems that between $20 and $30 is where my collectors want paintings. After talking it over with my art buddy, I will be listing the price on each painting where I think it should be, and where I think it will sell. (Recession Price.) My art buddy also suggests that I get a "real job" and maybe put the painting career on hold for awhile. (Since I'm barely covering expenses at this price point.)

I wonder if anyone out there knows of a work-at-home situation that isn't a scam?
Please send an email if you know of a legitimate online, work-at-home job situation. Thanks!

Extreme Hydrangeas, NA

Extreme Hydrangeas
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Revised on November 1, 2012

I have been doing some hydrangeas (not posted) to fill a request, so decided to keep right on going.
This one is a bit different than my usual technique, in that I used a palette knife to apply the petals, and then went back into the bloom with just a few brush marks. The entire painting feels pretty bold and direct to me, hence the "extreme."

October Morning Glory


October Morning Glory
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" x .5"
Available, please send an email for pricing: NelVanL@aol.com


Even though this isn't really a deep Gallery Wrapped canvas, I painted the sides, top and bottom, so it won't need framing, if you choose to hang it immediately, without framing.

My Morning Glories have exhausted themselves. Today I had only a few of the small purples. I think we are pretty much done. I'm so glad I took lots of photos.

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!
