EGRET

6"x8" Egret  oil painting on copper.
I have been painting on copper for some time off and on. I love the feel of it. You have to put a  light coat of  underpainting  MG white (oil) but  the  glow of copper still comes thru. I was inspired to paint this after the rains that fill the grassy low lands here. Something so beautiful about a pristine white egret against the backdrop of greens, water and earth. SOLD!!

ABSTRACT LILY POND

24"x30" oil painting on canvas
Oh how I love to paint abstracts. So freeing. This is one I had done some time ago and got it out to look at it this morning.I loved it and kept it. Tomorrow I will start a new very large one and I can hardly wait! I'm excited! I have a couple of beautiful new colors to play with too which will make it extra fun!

Small Abstract Landscapes

5"x7" oil on board.    Small landscape sketches in an abstract form.

I'm getting ready to start painting and these are nice ways to warm up. Loving abstracts as I do I might start one this morning. It has been raining and gloomy and I was about to make soup and here comes the sun!! It is suddenly beautiful and I want to get to work in my studio! Soup has to wait I think. I can have a sandwich for dinner!!  

White House

24"x24"  oil on canvas
The last ime I experimented with painting Tonalisim I painted this painting.About 15 years ago. I have it hanging in my house because I liked the mood of it. That's the deal with Tonalism. It creates a mood. In this case I love pink and the dark of the trees and the pink of the foreground is pleasing to me. The white house being the focal point just makes me happy!

Tonalist Landscape

6"x6" oil on board   SOLD!
I am experimenting with a Tonalist pallette, limiting myself to a minimum of color pigment, Staying in a mid value range. Values are important here, saying very little while conveying a mood. For an extreme color enthusiast it is not easy to not lob in some orange and red! It's restraint, something I need to learn and practice. This is the first of many I plan to paint.

"MONET" tote bag

22"x19" 5" deep.Canvas tote bag with original oil painting.Functional art!
This is one of my newest tote bags. Fully lined with a pocket and leather handles.I've named it "Monet" because of the water lilies.

Afternoon Repast in Tuscany

30"x40" oil on canvas.
Yes, I did say I was getting back to my tote bags but I had one more painting I wanted to do. One last wine bottle painting. This is it!!!

VINEYARD

6x6 iol on board
limited palette, very fun to paint a quick loose, sketch of a vineyard.

The EGRET

6"x6" oil on board
We have so many Egrets here and especially right after the rain. The streams and open fields fill with water and all of a sudden there they are! So beautiful with their glorious white feathers and beautiful white wings. Come on rain!!

PINK LILY

6"x6" oil on board
I love lily ponds. I haven't painted one for quite a while. This is one that I painted a while back but re painted the back ground yesterday. I had concentrated so much on the lily I really hadn't spent time anywhere else! So this was fun. I do love to go back into a painting and re- work and play a bit. Never know what will happen!!

POPPY LAKE

16"x20"o/c
There isn't really a Poppy Lake, that I know of any way, more a figment of my emagination.

It's a combination of many parks and lakes I've seen and loved. Another painting to add to my Poppy series.

EGRETS

16x20 oil on canvas This is the second Egret for the Chambers Gallery. Such a beautiful bird, I hope I have captured that. Now they have to dry, weather is very overcast here so it will take some time.
