"WHAT A PAIR"

The idea with this little painting was to put down a stroke of color and then leave it there.  You can see lots of brush strokes.  There is an honest freshness to paintings done in this style.  It is impossible to muddle colors because the paint for each stroke is mixed on the palette and THEN applied - no mixing on the painting itself.  That's where some painters get into trouble and end up creating mud when they start messing around with paint already on the canvas.

Yellow Roses, 9066

This painting of yellow roses that is a repeat of a previous similar painting. It is a commission for someone who saw the previous version. I welcome anyone visiting my website to request any painting that has been sold to be created again. These are not prints, but original paintings done from the same reference photo. As such, they are similar, but not exactly the same. SOLD

Seven Poppies, 9025, vibrant poppy still life

Here I am returning to my favorite flowers. This painting is a diptych done on an 18x30 and a 24x30 canvas. That makes it 42 inches across, so it's impressive in it's size as well as it's vibrant
hues. I enjoy painting on multiple canvases because I think it adds a special dimension to the finished piece. The flowers wrap around the painted edges of each canvas, so framing is not recommended for a clean, contemporary look.

Follow the Sun, still life daisies

This painting is of some daisies that kept their "faces" turned toward the sun. On 2.5 inch deep stretcher bars, this painting does not require framing.

Thirteen Poppies, 08908

Perhaps I've had enough of winter already. I was compelled to paint these poppies. It is a variation of my logo painting that is on the opening page of my website, my business cards, address labels, and the top banner of this blog.

Of course, my love of orange and yellow is very evident. I was trying for a painterly, impressionist type approach on this painting.

Fall Bouquet, 06708

Not every painting is successful. I was trying for spontaneity wielding a loose palette knife. It's not really there. I had to really work it. And it fell face down on the floor at one point.

It DOES have lots of texture and my favorite colors, so that's a plus. One instructor told me, when all else fails, use splatter. I laughed to myself as I used the toothbrush to splatter on the white.

If you want this painting (11x14) for $100, send me an email.

SUNFLOWERS 2, 02308, 6x6 oil painting of sunflower bouquet

A friend came over and saw this painting sitting on it's little easel and thought it was so attractive. I think that displaying these 6x6 paintings on their own miniature easel is a great way to show them. They attract more attention when used as a small decorative accent than when hanging on a wall.

Poppy Field, 15x48 acrylic

Yellow roses are my favorite.

Sunflowers, 24x24 oil

When I was in Minnesota last month for my cousins' reunion, we visited a gift shop where this bucket of sunflowers caught my eye. I like the way the dried grasses drift around the flowers. SOLD

Stoplight Peppers, 12x12 oil

You're pushing your cart through the produce section and there they are: a colorful blaze of satin-skinned beauties. There's probably not an artist in the world who hasn't been tempted in the produce section by these colorful peppers. Here's my version. I painted them, then I ate them. Win-win. 12x12 gallery wrap canvas.
