Setup in Garden

I was all set up to paint the sunflowers in my garden but I took a break and when I came back out this scene with all my gear and umbrella appealed to me more so I painted it instead.  5 x 8 inches on stretched canvas.  At DPW auction here

Pink Roses with Card

5 x 8 inches on stretched canvas.  I used a limited palette of cad yellow pale, permanent rose, cad red deep, viridian and white.  At auction DailyPaintWorks sold

Loveseat

30 x 40 oil on canvas.  My granddaughter visited for a month and I was able to get several paintings with her as model.  These are various cats that have been in my life over the years.  This was the key painting in my show at Piante in June 2016.  sold

Roses and Cup

Painted this today wet into wet paint in one setting.  8 x 6 inches oil on stretched canvas.  It is at auction DPW here

Golden Fields, Alderpoint

This was painted from Diana Anzini's porch.  8 x 16 oil on stretched canvas. I painted most of it plein air and finished up in the studio.  Available at DailyPaintWorks  here

"Oleanders"

8 x 16 inches on cradled canvas board.  I love Oleanders even though all parts are extremely poisonous.  These are at the end of my driveway away from most things and present such a pretty site against the background woods.  This is painted today plein air with palette knife in places.

"Little Girl."

I've had the little black and white reference photo of this little girl over 40 years.  I'm not sure who it is even, but the pose was so charming I've always thought it would make a good painting and finally got around to doing it.  6 x 4 inches oil on canvas panel.
