Purple Flowers against Red

Again, playing with paint and happy with the results.

A Pear with Clementines

An original 5 x 7  inch, expressive, colorist, still life painting done in a contemporary style with professional grade acrylic paint . It is painted on linen on a hardboard panel. As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Red and Yellow Flowers

I find bouquets of flowers in some strange places.  This one was in a ladies restroom and thanks to my cell phone I have a always have a camera ready.  Naturally, I imaginatively changed it a lot.  It was fun to be in the studio and to be able to play in the paints.

A Black Vase with Gardenias

This painting is from a photo taken over a decade ago of some gardenias from our yard.  Still trying to loosen up and this painting is getting there.  Thanks for looking.

Four Sunflowers

 

This painting was taken from a photo I took of some sunflowers I grew over a decade ago. The canvas was prepared with an application of paint left on the palette at the end of a previous session thereby giving a lot of texture to the painting.

Clouds over the Lanier Shoreline

This is from the same painting session done at Lake Lanier near Gainesville, GA.  I just moved up the shoreline some.

Hardy Mums

These mums were from potted ones that I planted last year.   Pots of mums are available everywhere for purchase in the fall.  I made sure they were the hardy variety and now the plants are huge and full of blooms.  Wonder what color should I choose for this fall?

Apple Slices

I might enter this painting in an upcoming show so therefore, its not available for sale at the moment.  I'll change its availability when its status changes.

The painting has been varnished for additional protection and enhancement.  $40 plus $10 for S & H.

Mason Jar Flowers

This painting came about in two ways.  The flowers in a mason jar, table top and background came from a photo that I took while eating at a very nice café called Ike and Jane's.  I felt it needed something to balance it to the left and my imagination added the plate and apple.

White Rose Buds

Lots of fun painting this 8x8 Acrylic.  It has been varnished for further protection and enhancement.

Life intervened but I'm back in the studio still working on pushing my efforts to be more expressive.
