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.

White Tulip 2011 - SOLD

White Tulip 2011 Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping. As happens often, when I do a painting that doesn't turn out so well, I have to "get back on the horse" and paint a good one. Yesterday's magnolia that didn't turn out well, prompted this one, which did.

Curly Magnolia - NA

Curly Magnolia
Oil on Linen, 10" x 10"
Not Available, revised on 7/14/2011.

I'm not happy with this one. The linen made everything hard to blend, so it's pretty rough, by necessity. And it got darker than I like, but here it is anyway. I figured someone might like it. And I get to move on, maybe come back and try this flower stem again. (it's a new one from Michael's.)

Shoreline Light - SOLD

Shoreline Light Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 16" SOLD at $75.00 plus $15.00 shipping. We've got nice weather today in the DC area, in the 70's. Yay! And that wonderful smell of warm air, has me also thinking about the ocean. Soon, my friends.

Fall Surround - SOLD

Fall Surround Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping. I enjoyed using the turquoise in this one, set against the reds. Great colors together. (Thanks for the loan of the photo, E.)

Snow Shadows - SOLD

Snow Shadows Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. Don't you love the colors of snow shadows, with the sun shining on the whites, making all those gorgeous blues and lavenders?

Revised Vase with Hydrangeas - SOLD

Revised Vase with Hydrangeas Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Another one from a couple of weeks ago, that was "close but no cigar." I clarified the colors, changed the pot, and the foreground, added more shadows. Ahhh, much better.

Revised Creek - SOLD

Revised Creek Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10" SOLD at $40.00 plus $5.00 shipping. There was a lot of interest in this one from a couple of weeks ago. I think that we all love water and trees. But there was a lot of yellowish reflection in the creek, and it was passed by. So today I declared it a revisions day, and this was one of them, and I dropped the price a bit.

Onions in the Spotlight - SOLD

Onions in the Spotlight Oil on Stretched Linen, 10" x 10" SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping. I loved the long top on this onion, carefully preserving it on the way home form the grocery store, making sure that it was on the top of the pile of bags in the cart. And going without a nice slice of onion on my last night's hamburger. Such sacrifices we artists' make....

Clinging Leaves Two - SOLD

Clinging Winter Leaves - SOLD

Clinging Winter Leaves Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Although I worked from an old photo from Massachusetts, there are a few of these golden guys hanging on to the trees outside my Maryland apartment. I love it when the sun catches them, and become so grateful for their touches of color against all the subtle winter shades.

Blues and Greens, Revised

Blues and Greens, Revised Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 10" x 10" Available at $50.00 plus shipping. Ahhh, much better. Straightened out the mug, made the shadow cleaner, made the bowl bluer, you know.
