I was just walking to my car and this group of buildings grabbed my attention.

Houses by the Sea: Block Island

 


“Houses by the Sea”
Oil on Canvas, 6”x8”

This was done as a practice for a demo I am doing. I always love painting houses that are near bodies of water.

Tower in the Sky


“Tower in the Sky”
Oil on Board, 8”x10”

This is a painting of a local Methodist church tower that I see many times in many different light situations, and the green patina against the sky is just so beautiful! It gives me a feeling of serenity. I was advised to get rid of the traffic light, but I just feel it is a part of the picture.

Not sure what kind of bird this is, I painted it thinking sparrow but not at all!

Pair of Eggs


“Pair of Eggs”
Oil on Canvas, 4”x6”

When you paint eggs, precision is called for. Whenever I paint eggs, I promise myself it will be a very long time before I do it again. The last time was a long time ago, lol.

“Crane”

Here is the beginning of a bird series…and we just put up a bird feeder, what a riot! I mean it, it’s a riot of birds on our deck.

“Peony & Hydrangeas”


“Peony & Hydrangeas”
Oil on Board, 8” x 8”

I painted this in 2016 but it bothered me…until I cropped it to an 8” x 8” painting. Now I love it!

Orange Pear and Celadon Bowl



“Orange Pear and Celadon Bowl”
Oil on Canvas, 6” x 4”

I keep saying I need to paint larger, but here I am at 6x4 inches - oh well, I really like a 
small painting!!
This reminds me of the German Expressionists. I used to think I would 
paint like them especially having studied German, but I ended up being more realistic. 
Well, maybe this is a new beginning.

“Venetian Doorway”
Oil on Canvas, 8” x 6”

Is this finished? Well, I do see something that needs changing, but it’s late, I will do it tomorrow, and I am posting anyway! So we took this trip to Italy, Florence & Venice. Americans are so taken with the beautiful architecture in Europe, combined with the stunning light in Italy, and I am no exception. How can I Not paint these lovely doorways. One imagines, “who lives here, and who loves to tend to their window plants so well?” I will never know…but will always enjoy looking at this picture.

Back to Italy




“Back to Italy”
Oil on Canvas, 8”x6”

We’ve been back long enough to recover from jet lag. Is my door crooked? I guess I can fix that. What a place Venice was, and we took in 2 days of the Venice Biennale. I love how the grid on the left window is light, and on the right window is dark. More cool door fronts to come.

Five Zinnias in a Bottle

 


“Five Zinnias in a Bottle”
Oil on Wood, 6”x6”

This took 2 days, and I’m exhausted! I grew these flowers several years ago, and never get tired of painting them.
