Rivers of Joy Again, Impressionism Landscape

"Rivers of Joy Again"

9 x12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

I did this painting a few months ago.Created from memory. I have reworked it some, added new colors and a couple of birds in the distance. I have gotten where if it doesn't have birds it just doesn't seem finished! Smile.

I had one of those cool songs that kept running trough my mind as I was painting it, here is part of it:

I will sing of His mercies that lead me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy.

Could not resist, had to zoom in on those tiny little flowers! I used thick paint with a large brush and painted this alla prima. I like the very loose brush strokes, they are so expressive.

This one took a few days. But I am satisfied with it now. I don't usually enjoy painting a still life as much as a scenic or an animal, but I loved painting all these colors and the play of light.

My husband brought these home for me to plant out side, but I had to paint them first!

These yearlings are like teenagers! Lots of fun taking the pictures I used.  Lots of hours getting the composition right before I even started painting this one. Drew it all out on paper first.  Left out some of the horses, and changed their colors to set them off.

 Thanks for looking!

Quiet Time, Impressionism Landscape, Daily Painting.

"Quiet Time"

9 x12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

(ready to frame)

$650.00

This is an older Daily Painting that I did last December. The title refers to prayer time. Nature has a way of reminding me to thank God for things.

This was an experimental painting. Thick over very thin and some "erasing." I used a subtractive method. First I stained the board with light warm tones, and let it dry. Then I added the dark colors and I wiped out the tree trunks with a small wet brush so the stained colors would show up as tree trunks. Then I added the thick highlights. I like the effect.

The lake is still very low, the water used to come up close to the palm tree in the foreground. The pier is just off to the right, but their is no water under it at all.

I had a great morning! 75 degrees and a nice breeze . . . It hasn't been that nice is a long time. I stayed a couple of hours and had all kinds of interesting people stop and visit! One man had a bird on his shoulder that laughed just like a person! My husband even came and brought me breakfast. Can't beat that!

Silver Springs Doe, deer, Wildlife, Daily Painting

"Silver Spring's Doe"

9 x 12 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on hardboard

This doe was fairly tame, and she would let people get close enough for photos. I tried to pet her but she moved away. She is one of the deer that the resort at Silver Springs had rehabilitated.

I just thought it was so neat that she came so close to me that morning. I put her in this setting, which I have painted once before. I tried to brighten it up as the morning colors were still a little on the dark side. It gives a nice mood to the painting though.

Early Birds, Impressionism, Wildlife, Daily Painiting

"Early Birds"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

SOLD

Just love the morning sun in this little Daily Painting. It is done alla prima (all at once.) The small egret kept coming closer to the great blue heron, then the heron turned his back to me (as he is positioned here) and flew away!

There is also a small alligator in the water, he was one of five I saw that morning. most were much larger.

Don't worry, I was up above the water line with piles of rocks between us! This is from Nubbin's Slough, Lake Okeechobee.

Water Lily, Watercolor, Daily Painting

"On the Lake"

(Water Lily)

5 x 7 inches

Watercolor 

Sold

I took more than 50 pictures of lilies on lake Okeechobee, before the drought. (We still can't get the boat in the water!) Now and then I paint another one of those pictures, they are all so unique. Everywhere I looked there were tons of lily pads, buds, and blooms! I was so struck by the multitudes of them that I felt like I was on a different planet.

I have been practicing watercolors as I have been giving private lessons and one of my students is in love with watercolors! We are having too much fun with them. Enjoy!

The Ghost, Barn,Birds, Impressionism Landscape

"The Ghost"
9 x12 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

Not Available

This is one I did in November 2006. I have added water and birds, and more foliage. I struggled with leaving as it was, because it really captured the essence of the memory I had of this old barn. But I kept seeing water and birds making it a stronger composition. Making it better won out over keeping the essence of the memory. Now it reminds me of a barn I saw near a pond recently.

Crepe Myrtle, Watercolor, Plein Air

Crepe Myrtle Study

9 x 12 inches

Watercolor
$500.00

Went out at sunset and rushed through this splash of color! I have wanted to paint these for quite sometime, but they are on the side of the house that rarely gets sun. So I had to do them quickly. I like the shadows on the house, and the loose painterly quality.
