Impatients

6x8 oil on Raymar panel

$70.00 plus s&h

When I did this one, I wasn't paying any attention to whether I liked it or not. But a week later, I have really grown fond of it! The yellow pitcher is an antique store find. And the impatients - well - they are one of my favorite flowers. The red-orange and the simple shape is just so fun to paint!!

Simple Beauty - SOLD

6x8 oil on Raymar panel

I noticed that the peach blossoms were blooming at a vacant property next door, so my son went over and picked some for me to paint. I love the shape of this little jar, and so I use it in paintings quite often. Sometimes the simplest objects are the most interesting.

This painting has been donated to an annual art auction in Claremont, California - the Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, to be held on May 30, 2010, from 2-4:30pm, at Galileo Hall, Harvey Mudd College.

Many Greens, One Vase

6x6 oil on Raymar panel

I found this little green vase at a thrift store, and knew right away I would paint it. Green is a favorite color, and I knew that to get the green of the vase, many warm and cool greens would be involved. The pink flower provided an interesting complement, and though it begs for attention, it will never overpower the vase.
