Purple Expression

The impetus for this painting came from a magazine photo that I transformed by my imagination and my need to produce a vivid, expressive interpretation all my own.

Mums Aplenty

Sunflowers and Apples #2

This is a more stylized rendition of yesterday's painting.  It has been varnished for additional protection and enhancement.

Back to Back Sunflowers

I want to work on pushing my artwork to a more stylized, abstract rendering.  I also want to do this with flowers and so you will be seeing a few paintings of sunflowers done until I am more satisfied.  Thanks for looking.

White Handle Bowl with Clementines

You may wonder why I paint so many clementines. It's simple, since we like to eat them while they are in season, we always seem to have them available.

This is a 5x7 inch acrylic painted on canvas on hardboard.  $40.00 plus $10 S & H. It has been varnished for additional protection and enhancement.

Thanks for looking.

A Simple Pear

This layout was an accidental one.  I was breaking down another set-up of which this was a part when I looked at it from a different angle and found another painting.

It's a 7x5 inch acrylic on canvas on hardboard.  It has been varnished for additional enhancement and protection.  $40 plus $10 for S & H.

Turnips and Eggplant

It's been a week plus a day since I last posted.  Last week was not at all productive in the studio.  It seemed as if anything that I started was a loss.  My artist friends, at our monthly get together, gave me encouragement, as well as, some good pointers.  So today I started a new, with a better perspective and enjoyed my day working. The positive comments I have gotten on my DPW site really help and I thank everyone.

Hydrangeas with Lemons #3

Lots of fun to paint. My hydrangea bush continues to bloom.  Thanks for looking.

Nectarines on a Blue Striped Plate

The studio is now in much better shape now after three days of purging, cleaning and rearranging.I can actually walk through it without turning sideways.  How can we accumulate so much in such a short time?

Here is a 5x7 inch acrylic done on canvas on hardboard. It has been varnished for further enhancement and protection.

Hydrangea #3

This little painting measures 7x5 inches and is painted in acrylics on canvas on hardboard.  It has been varnished for additional protection and enhancement.  $40.00 plus $10.00 S & H.

During this next week, I may not be posting much.  This is because the disorder in my studio has reached maxium chaos.  In some parts of it, I have to walk sideways to get past things.  So it is time to clear out, add additional storage if possible and rearrange.  I would like to be able to set-up my studio so that I can switch from acrylics to pastels without having to put one or the other away each time.  Wish me luck.

I have some more daily paintings that I will put on my Daily Paintworks site so check there.

Hydrangea #1

I decided that I'd best practice painting hydrangeas as my bush is covered in blooms.  This is a 7x5 on canvas hardboard.  It has been varnished for further enhancement and protection.

Lilies, Cherries, Grapes

This set up was in part of a larger piece that I did that I want to rework but I did like this part of the still life set-up so I repainted it in an attempt to work out some problems.  It helped me to understand how Ican overwork a piece and ruin it. 

This 10x8 acrylic  on canvas on hardboard has been varnished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Reflections of Yellow and White on Gray

I found it amazing how much the reflected white background altered the dark gray that the glass and lemon were placed on. The painting is on canvas on mdf board. Its a 10x8.

Split Pear 2

Here's the second painting of the same pear halves on a red background.

Split Pear 1

I bought two pears to  use as props for some quick paintings.  It is all in an effort to work on loosening up my brush work. Two more paintings were done at the same time and you can view them soon. This 6x6 acrylic is on canvas covered hardboard.  It has been varnished.

The Ever Present Hotsauce

 

Acrylic on 7x5 inch canvas mdf board.

Again, an exploration in working toward more expressiveness.  I did two more using the same props and they will be posted to my Daily Paintworks site in the next few days.

Green Pepper and Blue

I did a series of three paintings of this pepper and this is the first that I am posting.  It is 6x6 inches, acrylic on hard board and has been varnished.  The price is $40.00 plus $10.00 shipping and handling and can be purchased through PayPal.
