Oil on Board

I love these red pears... so rich looking!

"Half A Pear"

Oil on Board

After finishing the other pair of pears, I cut the prop in half. Ate one and painted the other.

Tasted really good by the way.

All three of these paintings are in the "Wassailwest Gift Gallery" show at 764 West Gallery in New Braunfels.

Come see us for the reception on Thursday night, Dec 3 from 5 - 9 pm.

I'll be there.

Simple painting of two fall flowers.

"Zesty"

8" x 12"

Oil on Linen

"Hollyhocks"

8" x10"

These two paintings have made the journey to New Mexico where they will be on display at The Art Garden Gallery in Eldorado. I'll post a link to the gallery website as soon as the it opens in December.

"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!
