Little Pink Rose - SOLD

Little Pink Rose Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 8" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. Another of my fake flower paintings. I liked the silk rose because of it's color variations, that almost orange magenta color at the inside.

Hello Magnolia - SOLD

Hello Magnolia Oil on Canvas Mounted on Masonite, 16" x 16" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping I am posting this from a brand new laptop computer, candy apple red (sounds like a car, doesn't it? My brothers bought it for me, and were thinking about fuzzy dice to go with it...I am very grateful.) This one is actually quite large, and turned out beautifully. The colors are different on the laptop, so I hope you can tell from your monitor the warm tones and nice mauves I got on it. Even though it's a white flower, I used quite a bit of yellow for warmth.

Little Magnolia Paintings - NA

Magnolia Sprig 1 Oil on Linen Panel, 6" x 6" Not Available, Revised Magnolia Sprig 2 Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 8" Not available. My daughter has a young magnolia tree in her side yard, and let me clip a sprig. I'm sure that the Southern ladies could have told me how incredibly delicate they are. Even in water, I could actually see them wilting as I painted. Pink on the outside, white on the inside.

A Certain Kind of Light

A Certain Kind of Light Oil on Canvas Mounted on Board, 16" x 16" Available at $50.00 plus shipping. This one is all shades of yellows, light oranges and greens. Olive mostly. To depict the kind of light that happens late in the afternoon. The Impressionists called it the "Golden Hour" and that makes perfect sense. It just is, lovely light.

Golden Glow Creek - SOLD

Golden Glow Creek Oil on Canvas Board, 12" x 16" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. More creek painting. This one was done from a photo that I snapped in Maryland, and if I'm remembering right, it was sometime towards late afternoon, and there really was this orangey golden light everywhere. So beautiful. I didn't quite capture it, but it was a pleasure to paint.

Creeks of Home 2- SOLD

Creeks of Home 2 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 14" x 14" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. Dappled afternoon light playing on water. Good memories of walks along creek paths.

Hydrangea Blossom - SOLD

Hydrangea Blossom Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 10" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. I am using up old canvases again, recycling old paintings. This one used to be two trees, done for practice from Elizabeth Tolley's book, an exercise and never posted. I sanded it down and used what was left over as an underpainting.

Complicated iris

Complicated Iris Watercolor on 140 lb Arches paper, paper size 15" x 23" image size 13" x 20" Available at $75.00 plus shipping. A bit of a long and narrow piece, but also nice to do a watercolor once again. The photo I worked from was "busy," so the watercolor turned out "busy" also. I think it might appeal to someone, though. The colors are rich and striking.

Pink Iris 10 - SOLD

Pink Iris 10 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SOLD. This is the last pink iris I'll be showing for awhile. Thanks for the patience!

Pink Iris 9 - NA

Pink Iris 9 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" Not Available. This one a bit smaller and a little more carefully rendered. We're almost done with this series.

Pink Iris 8 - NA

Pink Iris 8 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" Not available. This one has the more delicate colors again. I used a large brush on this one, so it stayed pretty loose.

Pink Iris 7 - SOLD

Pink Iris 7 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. This one got a little more colorful. The parade continues.

Pink Iris 6 - SOLD

Pink iris 6 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" ASOLD. I like this one. I found a shape of another colored iris that I really liked, and borrowed it for the shape here. That worked!

Pink Iris 5 - SOLD

Pink Iris 5 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SOLD. Another one with soft colors. Slight changes from the earlier delicate iris in this series. Number 3, I think.

Pink Iris 4 - SOLD

Pink Iris 4 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. Another in the Pink Iris series.

Pink Iris 3 - SOLD

Pink Iris 3 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" Sold at $50.00 plus shipping. I was steering towards delicate on this one. You know that almost white soft pink color? I'm not sure how successful I was with that, but I do like the background a lot.

Pink Iris 2- SOLD

Pink Iris 2 Oik on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" SSOLD Another in the pink iris series. Fun trying to see how many subtle shades of pink I can come up with. I plan to do about six or seven of these, and the collector can then pick and choose from the set.

Pink Iris 1 - NA

Pink Iris 1 Oil on Canvas Panel, 10" x 12" Not Available. I'm trying to get back into the swing of painting, and slowly getting better from my fall. Still hobbling around with a walker, but each day is a little better, a little less pain. This may be part of a four iris series for a commission, I'll see if the collector likes it.

Rocky Creek - SOLD

Rocky Creek Oil on Linen Panel, 6" x 6" Sold at sale price of $10.00. This little linen panel was so slick to work on. Maybe becasue it's oil primed, but I did want to try linen again. It could be also that I've forgotten how to paint. That happens when you're away for a few days. Slowly getting better.

Small Peony - SOLD

Small Peony Oil on Linen Panel, 6" x 6" Sold at Sale price of $10.00 I am borrowing my daughter's computer again, since mine has died. You don't want to know how long it takes me to hobble sideways up the stairs, leaving the old lady security of my walker at the bottom of the steps for my return. Since troubles come in threes, I am waiting to see what's next. Meanwhile, I have been able to get out to the studio to paint a bit,. This one is actually more purple pink (fushia) than it looks here on this monitor. SALE: Because it is difficult for me to paint and post right now, I am having a "Make an Offer" Sale. I will accept any reasonable offer for the paintings that have not sold. If you have seen a painting that you like, but it was a little too much, make an offer now before it's gone. Simply scroll backwards in the blog to see what's still unsold. Thanks, everyone, in advance.
