Two Apples and A Cherry

I worked this still life with a different approach. I started with an under painting with transparent earth red and ultramarine blue concentrating only on values. I then slowly worked into brighter colors and purposefully worked towards a fresh approach, not focusing on a photographic replica, but a painterly finish. 9 x 12" linen panel. This will be for sale through the Daily Paintworks auction starting at $45.

Flowers From Mr. Mike's

I bought these gorgeous flowers from a vegetable stand in Bonita Springs called Mr. Mike's. I love Queen Anne's Lace and was drawn to the contrast they offer in a floral set up. Florals are probably my most favorite thing to paint with the exception of the human face!. 12 x 16" Oil on Panel.

Rosy Dogwoods

I painted this from a photo from an online class I'm taking. I struggle with getting the photograph correct, so this painting has a lot of mystery in it in real life. I'm working on using considerably more paint and purposefully not finishing every part of the painting.14 x 11" Oil on linen panel.

A Daisy A Day

Hmmm, another daisy painting. I just had to try this subject again with a twist. I really like this landscape shape! We don't often see it in a still life but changing shapes helps to keep ideas fresh and when you are trying to paint often, that can be a challenge! 6 x 12" Oil on stretched linen canvas.
