Poppies & Dragon Vase

I painted this under natural lighting coming in through the window.  I set it up in my shadow box minus the covering.....black foamcore backing.  I've always loved this vase and have oodles of poppies which have naturalized in my garden. These flowers only last a short time cut but since this is only 7 x 5 inches I was able to finish in one setting.  For more information or to bid click here.sold

Two Kitties

The light upon the kitties sitting on the living room rug created an abstract design I couldn't resist.  The camera was handy.  Most of the rug pattern was painted by looking at it and comparing light struck areas with those in shadow.  Photographs in high contrast rarely have enough information in the shadows.  To learn more or to bid at DPW auction sold

Red Velvet

I borrowed some red velvet from a friend and used it for my backdrop.  I like the richness but the whole painting was stressful because I'd never painted velvet and red has always been a scary color to me.  To learn more or bid click here.

Bonnie at Rest

I usually paint with watercolor from the nude model in a setting with other artists and limited time.  This pose was 20 minutes.  Results vary but sometime you get a special freshness because of the limited time and quick decisions.  I will send the painting matted and ready to frame or store safely in an acrylic sleeve.

Family Portrait

Familiar objects from my studio that I use frequently.  When my son saw the painting he said,

"Oh, I see they're separated and mom has custody."  6 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches oil on canvas paper. 

It will come with an antique rag mat, foam core backing and acrylic sleeve ready to frame or safely store. For more information or to bid on DailyPaintWorks press here

Calcium Chews

I set up all these purple objects to see if I could get a painting.  The day was overcast so cool light from the window and I added florescent because I knew the light would go quickly on these winter days.  Its done alla prima wet into wet paint.  To  learn more or bid in DailyPaintWorks
