Lavender's Sway, Impressionism Landscape

"Lavender's Sway"

8x10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Sold

I painted this from a photo and rearranged a few things to make it into a stronger composition. I love the contrast of the bright tan hill against all that purple. I want to do some more of these plants, closer up. I really want to zoom in on them. We'll see! There is also a show coming up at (EBSQ Art) for Lavender plants, so this one should do well.

I love lavender, it has so many therapeutic uses. Did you know the oil made from it has many uses, and it has healing qualities?

The Real Deal, cowboy, daily painting

"The Real Deal"

5x7 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

Not Available

Wanted to practice portraits. I usually struggle with getting a likeness. I built this painting up with thin layers of paint. This is a friend of mine, he is a true cowboy and has been all of his life. I tried to use colors that symbolize and emphasize his occupation. I think I captured him fairly well.

Early Prayers, Plein Air, Daily Painting

"Early Prayers"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas board

Got up extra early to beat the heat. I like to get up before everyone, and have time to myself to pray, paint something, or read. What a beautiful sunrise! I really did not do it justice. However, I do like the vines growing on the palms. I painted it alla prima (all in one session), from my back deck.

Enjoy!

Wild River Cow, Impressionism, Animal Art

" Wild River Cow"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

SOLD

I am intrigued with these cows. They got stranded on an island on the Kissimmee River years ago when the Florida Water Management straightened out the river. Every two or three years a group of cowboys would get together and try to round them up. These are animals that know nothing about a round up! Very dangerous.

Breezy Blue,Impressionism Wildlife, Heron

"Breezy Blue"

8.5 x 4 inches

Acrylic on Watercolor Paper

Not Available

I like the tension: feels like the great blue heron is about to take off because he is looking away and placed near the edge of the painting. This is something Robert Bateman does quite often in his work, to add more interest and movement.

This is a wonderful 'off-size,' which is perfect for a hard to fill space on a wall. However, I like to remind my clients when purchasing these off-size originals that they usually have to be custom framed.

Sunny Days, Impressionism Flowers,Daily Painting

"Sunny Days"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

SOLD

I love the almost abstract feel to this little painting. I wanted to make one of the dandelions look like a kid's sun in the corner of their picture. Even my high school students wanted to paint the sun in the corner of their pictures! It drove me crazy trying to explain why that isn't such a good idea: on top of a green sky when they added the blue near the yellow sun, we had very silly cartoon looking suns in the corner of a very nice landscape! So here is to my kids! Smile.
