Guess what we are getting ready for? Here’s what the Might Quince looks like as a canvas giclee print on a clay “frame”. This is the way I get to continue participating in the ceramic shows that Dennis and I have done together for years: I show my paintings on CLAY! This was truly one of those “necessity is the Mother of Invention”developments that has been quite successful over the past few years since I stopped being a ceramic artist.
The Mighty Quince 24″ x 30″ oil on canvas panel $1200 (Well, this certainly qualifies as “after Christmas”!)This painting was part of the exercise of choosing a painter to emulate that I mentioned in my last post. A friend picked this wonderfully provocative quince off her tree to show me and immediately I asked if […]
“Moonlight Chairs” 12 x 12″ oil on canvas $750 Obviously I’ve not spent much time with this blog after the big computer blitz in September. Does that mean I have been painting? Actually, yes, but mostly on canvases I started some time ago and now need to finish. Dennis and I have a show together […]
More Than Memory 30″ x 30″ oil on canvas $2300 Whoo-eee! Am I sick of my computer screen, or what? We decided to cancel the Studio Sale we usually have in Portland every year and put everything into an on-line sale instead. 330+ images and 21 pages later all my paintings, prints, drawings, & monoprints […]
“Penny on the Porch” My 9 year old grandniece Sophie, who I painted at Christmas playing her violin, is visiting for a few days and today we spent part of the afternoon painting. Sophie was a great student, working from a sketch she had made earlier of our dog Penny and creating a composition with […]
‘Star Gulch Ranch” 16″ x12″ oil on canvas $199 Three posts ago I showed you a painting done at Terry Miura’s plein air workshop and said I would post another when I finished it. Here it is. I’m noticing a zig-zag composition appearing in all these latest paintings. Do you see it? Other posts you […]
Oregon Coast at Smith River 16″ x 12″ oil on canvas $250 We have been back for a few days and the contrast between the cool, overcast coast and the sunny, hot weather here makes me feel like summer has finally arrived. We’ve even harvested a few ripe tomatoes! After such a cool spring and […]
“Ashland Sky” 41/2” x 61/2” oil on paper, matted $98 A few nights ago we drove the 50 minutes it takes us to get to Ashland to attend the opening of a friend’s show. She was in Terry’s plein air workshop this summer and it was fun to see a group of her landscapes together. […]
“Applegate River at Star Gulch” 9″x12″ oil on canvas $125 It’s been over two months since you have heard from me, but it has not been two months since I’ve painted. In June Terry Miura came to our studios at HUMMINGBIRD to present a plein air oil painting workshop and I participated as a student. […]
Hello out there-I said “you may not hear from me for a while” and it has been over a month! The show in Portland went well and we came home to the joy of spring gardening and the sorrow of having to deal with a rental property we own and need to sell. It’s been […]
