"Garlic & Oil"

"Garlic & Oil"

7" x 12"

Oil on Wood Panel

$275 (plus shipping & tax if applicable)

A small pewter pitcher caught my eye on my shelf of props. The garlic seemed like a good indicator of the tiny size of the pitcher. I love the mellow shine and the weight of pewter and it was fun to paint.

"Little Orange"

4" x 4" oil painting on wood panel

Daily painting for November 20, 2009

A cute little orange that I bought as a snack. I'm glad I took photos before I ate it! This is the second painting that I've done...first in watercolor (SOLD) and this time in oils.

You can bid on it...

"Pottery and Sumac"

"Pottery & Sumac"

12" x 9"

Oil on Linen

$275 (plus shipping & tax where applicable)

I enjoyed painting this the first time so I decided to do it again. It was a challenge to paint the sumac before the leaves dried up and turned crispy!

"Tankard"

"Tankard"

Oil on Cradled Panel

7" x 12"

$275 (plus shipping and tax if applicable)

This is my newest still life. I wanted to add a little warmth by adding the tea towel to the mix. I think it worked pretty well.

I haven't put a buy now button on it because I'm taking it to a show and I think this might sell there.

"Vine Ripened"

"Vine Ripened"

12" x 9"

Oil on Linen

$275 (plus shipping & tax if applicable)

These tomatoes were so ripe that I was afraid they wouldn't last long enough under the lights to paint them! There is something about the color of a vine ripened tomato that is hard to paint. There is blue and umber and cadmium red and a bit of alizarin, cadmium yellow and yellow ochre... a real challenge.

"WHAT!"

"What!"

9" x 12"

Oil on Canvas

$250 unframed (plus shipping & tax if applicable)

Another cow painting! What a deal!

Two youngsters that were relaxing when I had the nerve to come and photograph them. I could here the reclining one asking "am I going to have to get up and run?"

I snapped a few shots, enough to get a couple of references, and left them to finish out their lazy day.
