Pea Pods #2

This is the smaller version of the painting I posted yesterday.  It's 5x5, acrylic on 300 lb. watercolor paper. It's been varnished for additional protection and enhancement.

Sunflowers and Apples - #1

This painting is from a photo of some very large sunflowers that a friend sent to me; I, in turn, place them in a tablescape.  I am working on learning how I want to paint various flowers.  So, for now, I will be working on the sunflower.

A 5x7 inch acrylic on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  $30.00 plus $10.00 S & H. The painting has been varnished for further enhancement and protection.  Also, it is matted and ready for framing in an
8 x 10 inch frame.

Thanks for looking.

A Fig and Two Red Pears

This is the first day I have been able to get back into the studio since my last post.  This oil pastel is 4x6 inches and is done on 300# watercolor paper.  The image shown is approximate to what would show with a mat.

My foot continues to heal though I may still have to have surgery.  Hope that that doesn't have to happen!

A Simple Apple

Hi everyone,

I have not posted in two works due to not being happy with what I had painted and being a Klutz.  I had worked out what I needed to change in a couple paintings thanks to my art buddies but before I could get back into the studio, being a Klutz got in my way.  I twisted my foot but continued to walk on it.  Four days later, I went to my doctor and found out I had broken a bone in my foot.  So for now I'm in a splint and tomorrow, Thursday, I go back to see if I get a cast, boot or have to have surgery.

Painting in acrylics, I felt, would be too hard physically to do but I had been wanting to try oil pastels again (my earlier attempts hadn't been successful).  Luckily, earlier this summer, I had rearranged my studio and they were very easy to set up.  The only thing I have to do after painting is to wash my hands.

This is the first one I did this morning, a 6x4 inch on 140# water color paper.  I had done an acrylic painting on it earlier which wasn't successful so I painted over it.  This view shows it cropped as it would look when matted. (The mat is not included).  Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
