White Bowl II

“White Bowl II”

Oil on Wood, 6” x 6”

I don’t know what it is about an empty bowl, but I’m just drawn to this image.

Tomato on White

“Tomato on White”

Oil on Wood, 6” x 6”

I took a break from watching news of the virus to paint this innocent little tomato.

“Strutting”

“Struttin”

This chicken was all over the place, hard to get a picture! 

I’ve been so busy with my annual Holiday Boutique, I haven’t painted a new picture

for weeks. This is a first in a long time.

Handsome Guy

“Handsome Guy”

Oil on Wood, 6” x 6”

This fella just seems very proud of himself. Or maybe it’s just that I think he’s gorgeous!

I am trying to get back into the swing of things and get ready for a couple of commissions. This is actually a painting from last year that I reworked, making me much happier with it.

"Hey There"

"Hey There"

Oil on Board, 6" x 6"

This is a study.

While we were visiting friends in Martha's Vineyard we stopped to photograph this beautiful field near the end of the day. This cow was very interested in us!

"Grackle"

"Grackle"

Oil on Wood, 6" x 6"

I wanted to try iridescence.

Not only the blue head was luminescent, but so were the copper colored body feathers.

I just found the right name of this guy thanks to my dear cousin Donna!

"Eastern Rock Nuthatch"

"Eastern Rock Nuthatch"

Oil on Wood, 6" x 6"

Anyway, I think it's an eastern rock nuthatch. Any birders out there?

I just love these birds serious expressions. Although if I was a bug I might not be so enamoured.

"Fur Collar"

Oil on Wood, 6" x 6"

So regal and warm looking!

"Swan"

Oil on Wood, 6" x 6"

Only now am I wondering why this swan is swimming in the dark, yet lit up.

All I know is it was a dramatic and beautiful photograph that I found in morguefile.com.

"Baby Chickadee"

"Chickadee"

6" x 6," Oil on Canvas

I was up early and painted this before breakfast.

SOLD

"Sparrow"

6" x 6," Oil on Wood

 I think it's a sparrow. I once raised a sparrow from babyhood when I was young. We slowly got her used to being outside . I remember teaching her how to fly. There was an interim during the summer when she lived outside, but every morning she would come to my window and chirp until I would wake up, open the window and let her inside. I would then go down to the kitchen and feed her. 

"Red Guy"

"Red Guy"

6" x 6," Oil on Wood

This guy is very proud of his plumage.

"Dreamy Eastern Bluebird"

"Dreamy Eastern Bluebird"

6" x 6," Oil on Wood

It's been awhile since I painted a bird. I believe it's an eastern bluebird. Funny how each one seems to develop a personality that goes beyond the initial photograph. Often I find when I paint something I discover much more about the subject during the process.

SOLD

"Art Supplies"

"Art Supplies"

8" x 8," Oil on Canvas

 Well they say "paint what you know."

 I've been buying art supplies since forever and

 they look so gorgeous to me.

"Butterfly"

6" x 6," Oil on Wood

These butterflies just glow!
