October Roses
Thursday, October 7th, 2010
Look who is back in her studio! It was a short summer and a long fall, but enough is enough. It’s time to start painting again! I did the rough-out of a painting I’ve been promising my niece for about a decade but felt I needed a warm up before I could dive into it. […]

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.

“Pitchers with Cherry Trio” 12 x 12″ oil on Masonite panel $125 I set up this still life (without the cherries) for my students to practice painting glass, metal, ceramic and drapery. It was tough! and I struggled right along with them. Later, I decided to see if I could make it into something more […]

“Red Carnations” 8×6″ oil on canvas SOLD Last Wednesday I posted the roller coaster ride I took with these carnations, which started and ended with a blank canvas.

Amaryllis

“Amaryllis” 6 x8 oil on canvas SOLD This amazing amaryllis opened about a week ago and every day I have wanted to paint it. Nice of it to be so patient; cut flowers loose their flush just a couple of hours after you bring them in. I really liked the back-lighting from the window and […]

I’m not sure about this…
Monday, February 4th, 2008
Back in November I came across something on the web that led me to search for daily paintings, and I was very inspired by what I found. “Melons” 6×8 oil on canvas $96 Doing a painting a day is certainly nothing new. It’s no secret that the way to get better at painting is to […]
