"FIGURE IN WHITE"

This is a sweet model who was expecting here first child.  It measures approximately 10 x 7 inches.  It is matted and will fit into a 14 x 11 standard sized frame. 

THREE SMALL WATERCOLOR STUDIES

I painted these small studies to warm up to watercolor after painting for quite a while in oil.  It's necessary because the thinking and approach is quite different between the two mediums.  After painting a bunch of small ones I then felt confident enough to tackle a big watercolor.

"SUNFLOWERS"

This is a painting I did back in 2008.  I made some changes....added my greenhouse....indicated some fencing etc. and now I like it much better.  12 x 9 inches oil on stretched linen. 

"APPLES & ROSES"

"APPLES & ROSES" is from a studio setup using various props I have available to me.  I had to slap my hand numerous time in order not to fall prey to over- rendering of the enticing detail in the white roses.  It is 8 x 8 inches on oil primed canvas panel.  To learn more or to bid CLICK HERE

"PINK ROSES & GREEN DUCK"

Back to my green duck....This little guy appears over and over in my paintings.  I'd like to get some shore birds and other decoys because I seem to like painting them.

"Nasturtiums"

I brought these lovely Nasturtiums into the studio after deciding all the activity and other plants on the porch just didn't do them justice.  Sometime a more controlled setting is necessary.  I noted a sort of rhythm about the leaves and the flowers are mainly right on top and don't hang over. This is oil painted alla prima (wet into wet paint) 8 x 8 inches on a linen panel.  To learn more or to bid CLICK HERE

"LILY & PINK CUP"

"Lily & Pink Cup" measures 8 x 8 inches and is painted on oil primed linen panel.  With the pressure of my show behind me painting this little still life was a joy.  I felt so free.  I placed these sweet  lilies in a vase and kept adding stuff till it felt right.  "Society of Six" is a favorite book so I added it and placed an antique cup and saucer on top and then finally a peach completed the picture.
