Bowl of Onions - SOLD

Bowl of Onions Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping. Don't you love the colors in onions? All these beautiful oranges, golden browns, siennas, pinks, purples.....

Large Backyard Autumn - SOLD

Large Backyard Autumn Oil on Stretched Canvas, 24" x 30" SOLD. This big painting was done on request. I really like working big like this, it's nice to have all that space to work in. The reason I avoid these big guys is the shipping. I have to either build or scrounge a box this big. Mostly I cut up smaller boxes and tape them together. There's gotta be a better way???

Quiet Waters - SOLD

Quiet Water
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD at $90.00 plus $15.00 shipping.

A larger painting today, very quiet, with a serene tone. Lots of purples and greens for this, with a sunset feeling in the sky.

Evergreen Study- NA

Evergreen Study
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 10" x 10"
Not available..

Okay, I don't really have much experience painting evergreens, but it's a part of landscape painting that I should know. My attempt at following the directions and example (which is wonderful) of the instructor, Johannes Vloothuis. Mine, well....I need more practice, clearly.

Tree Study 2 - SOLD

Tree Study 2 Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 16" SOLD at $30.00 plus $10.00 shipping. More trees for my Webinar studies. I DO think I'll be seeing an improvement in my landscapes.

Light at the End - SOLD

Light at the End
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $60.00 plus $10.00 shipping.

One of my favorite landscape subjects, a pathway through the woods. I am happy with the way this one turned out.

White Water Riverside - SOLD

White Water Riverside Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $50.00 plus shipping. Another "homework" painting, done from a provided landscape photo. I am so enjoying my Webinar class, me and a thousand others.

Trees Study - SOLD

Tree Study Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. I had fun doing this one, it's all swish and smoosh, parts with a loaded brush, and parts with the palette knife. I actually didn't realize until I popped it up here how "leany" the trees are. I should have made some of these trunks stand up since even on a hillside, they'd grow up to the light. But since it's basically a "study" done as homework for my Webinar, I'm not going to mess with it.

Red Tulips, NA

Red Tulips
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 9"
Not available, revised on April 4, 2011.
Listed on ebay.

To bid, click here.

Plaza had this interesting size canvas the other day when I stopped to load up, so I thought I'd try a couple of paintings on it. I doubt that you'll be able to find a "ready-made" frame in this size, unless you find it online. But for all that, here are a couple more tulips for you.

Little Pink Tulip - SOLD

Little Pink Tulip
Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 6" x 6"
SOLD.

Click here to see the ebay listing, or to bid. I think that tulips are deceptively hard to paint. You would think they'd be so easy, since they are so simple. Maybe that's the challenge, you have to get the simplicity right. I do like the drama of this little one, though.

Tree on a Hill - SOLD

Tree on a Hill Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 10" SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping. A simple little landscape painting, done using a technique learned this past weekend in the Webinar I'm taking.

Fall Color Sketch - SOLD

Fall Color Sketch Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14" SOLD at $40.00 plus $10.00 shipping. I've revised this oil sketch a bit, and listed it on ebay.

Small Creek Scene, New Beginners Class - SOLD

Small Creek Scene Oil on Stretched Canvas, 8" x 8" SOLD at $30.00 plus shipping. I had this example (for my last online class) of color massing and using warm colors for light areas, and cool colors for shaded areas, so I painted right on top of it. So easy with the values already established and the composition already done. Although the example is kind of neat, I didn't want to let the canvas go to waste. I am also filling up my Ebay store with some older paintings which I've revised this weekend. I'll put a couple more in tomorrow. Starting bids are lower than when first offered on the blog. Also, this is to announce that starting the week of April 17th, I will again be teaching my Beginners online class in Oils. More info is available here.

Autumn in Mauves - SOLD

Autumn in Mauves Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20" SOLD. To bid click here. I have revised this one, added some depth, put it more greens and softened the reflections a bit.

Mountain Stream - SOLD

Mountain Stream Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD at $60.00 plus shipping. Done in connection with a class I'm taking through WetCanvas, me and one or two thousand other folks.

Tulip on Black - SOLD

Tulip on Black Oil on Stretched Linen Canvas, 6" x 6" SOLD at $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping. My tulips are still good, just opening, so I thought I'd better do one more piece with them before they fade.

Spring Bunch, Tulips - SOLD

Spring Bunch, Tulips
Oil on Canvas Panel, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $45.00 plus shipping.

I just had to get more tulips, even though they are smallish from the grocery store. Hope your week is going well.

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.
