Zinnias in Lala’s Pitcher

 

“Zinnias in Lala’s Pitcher”

Oil on Canvas, 6”x4”

Here it is, the good, bad & the ugly. I’ve been struggling with flowers for I don’t know how long. Happy with this one finally. :) I could keep painting on it, but I’m done.

Zinnias in December

 

“Zinnias in December”

4” x 6”, Oil on Linen

I used to plant zinnias in the community garden and they were always such a delight. 

Winter Sunning

I’ve updated this painting done in 2020…Funny how fascinating birds can be.

Such a sweet thing.

Oregon U-Pick

 

“Oregon U-Pick”

Oil on Wood, 6” x 8”

My sister in law and I went on a beautiful summer day to Sauvie’s Island. There was so much to choose from. I’m not sure how long these guys can stay in business, it’s harder for them than it used to be.

Lemon and a Slice

 

“Lemon and a Slice”

Oil on Linen, 6” x 8”

My favorite topic!

 

Oregon Field

 

“Oregon Field”

Oil on Linen, 6” x 12”

First an underpainting then next day, the rest.

Bird in Water

“Bird in Water”

Oil on Canvas, 8” x 6”

Again, I would be grateful if someone would let me know what kind of bird this is!

Update: I touched up this image…basically cleaning it up and adding highlights. Final finishing touches can add so much to a painting, in clarity and impact.

 

Orchid on a Snowy Day

“Orchid on a Snowy Day”

Oil on Canvas, 8” x 8”

I managed to finish this in two sessions. I focused on the crazy leaf patterns accented by those wild “air roots.” Yes, I had to look that up. 

Rhinebeck Trail II

“Rhinebeck Trail II”

Oil on Linen, 6” x 8”

Kitchen Junk Drawer

“Kitchen Junk Drawer”

Oil on Canvas, 9” x 12”, On Hold

I poured far more love into this painting than I planned. Who can really care for a junk drawer? Well, I have to say I have more feelings about my drawer full of tools and odds & ends than I ever had before. Tools really are beautiful objects, and we grow so attached to them because they help us get things done.

 

Out West

 

“Out West”

Oil on Canvas Board, 8” x 10”

A beautiful western field in the spring, I really wanted to capture depth in this painting.
