Mini Peonies

This little painting is a 4 x 6" postcard. I've always wanted to do some original paintings that people could send to someone special through the mail.  It still takes a little time, though, to paint. These are $19.95 plus shipping.

Prescramble

This was painted in natural light and was quite challenging! Ellipses are very difficult to paint! I think I would really like to experiment more with this subject matter, so...to be continued....

Going Out For A Sail

While Oliver (my 3 year old grandson) and I were walking the beach on Lake Champlain, we watched our neighbor prepare his boat and put it out in the water. And so, the inspiration for this painting. 10 x 8" oil on wood panel. I love that about landscape painting especially. You relive the moment as you paint the piece!

Apple Delight

I've been traveling and haven't had the opportunity to paint for a week or so. This is a little study to get my paintbrush wet again. 9 x 12" Oil on linen panel.

Calililies and Onions

Sissy and I set up this still life at her house and we painted together. It was nice yo share thoughts and ideas about process. I don't usually have flowers go off the page but I thought I would try this as part of my composition design. 12 x 9" Linen Panel

Radish Family

I'm trying to focus on composition. What makes a painting interesting to look at? I tried to make this painting so the viewer looks around a little pathway that brings you to the beautiful alstromeria in the middle! 7 x 5" Oil on Linen

Morning Glory in the Dark

I'm reposting this painting. I got up early last summer and picked these morning glories from my garden in the back. I really liked the curling leaves and the "pop" of color! 10 x 8" Oil on canvas
