"Jim & Terry"

I had the pleasure of painting Terry and Jim while Jim was painting Terry and Terry was painting a rose. 

"JANE'S CORNER"

Fellow painter Jane and I laugh about this corner as being magic.  Anything looks good here. I've just barely done it justice.  10 x 7 1/2 inches oil on 1/4 inch masonite panel. 

"SINGLE ROSE"

I painted this from a studio set up alla prima (wet into wet paint) It was a balancing act.  Roses always get you with all their charm so I had not to make too much of the enticing flower in order for the painting to be balanced.  8 x8 oil on canvas panel.

"LITTLE ONIONS"

"Little Onions" is 7 x 5 inches oil on mylar.  I painted it using my light box (explained on eBay listing)
I was struck by the delicateness the setup presented in this lighting.  Everything was high key and close in value.  Creamy white in many variations. 

"DECEMBER DAY"

"December Day" painted this past week right before it started raining.  It's a most familiar site but changes always with the light and atmosphere.  9 x 12 oil on canvas panel.  For more information or to bid CLICK HERESOLD

"PEPPERS & GREEN DUCK"

Another oil painting on mylar.  7 x 5 inches with a 1 1/2 mat making it just right to slip into a standard sized 8 x 10 frame.  This little glass green duck appears in many of my larger works.

"Tea For One"

This is the first painting  I've done using my newly constructed 'light box.'  It's a 24 x 24 inch square made with white plastic pipe and a white sheet over it and a black cloth over that to keep out room light.  I then placed two lights in the box...one color corrected florescent and the other incandescent low wattage.  It is fashioned after Carole Marine creation.  I still need to get a heavy duty tripod after I put a plywood base on it so it can be raised and lowered.  At present it just sits on a table.  The painting is oil on mylar 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches.
