"Pink Poinsettias"

"Pink Poinsettias"

Watercolor 5 x 7

$45

Christmas is fast approaching and I have had little time to paint except on commissions and craft items for decoration and for my little art gallery, so this painting is one I did last December.  I thought surely  it would be sold by now, but I still have it, so now is your chance to own this really pretty painting.  I would display it all year, of course, because the colors are lovely and any flower is beautiful the whole year!

"Giant Blooms"

"Giant Blooms"

Acrylic on canvas

$150

I haven't posted lately and this one I brought back from awhile ago, because I haven't got anything new that I want to post.  I''m still reluctant to post some paintings that I think are really special because of people actually making prints from them and selling them! Can you believe the nerve they have, and it is hard to track them down. The company I am talking about is in another country and when you call the United States phone number, you get no one. I hate to give up my blog, though, so occasionally I will post something. Do any of you other artists have that sort of trouble?

"The Garden Path"

 "The Garden Path"

18 x 24 Egg Tempera

$600 framed

I painted this at Heathcote Gardens in Ft. Pierce, Florida, one of my favorite places to do plein air painting. 

I loved the purple Wisteria on the old lattice structure.  This particular area in the garden has gone through a change and the old green house is no longer there or this structure.  The Wisteria was mostly saved, thanks be!  Egg tempera is my favorite medium next to watercolor and I have never seen anyone use it outdoors around here, but I thoroughly enjoyed working with it outdoors.

"The Green Door"

"The Green Door"

16 x 20 Watercolor

$175

I'm still doing some experimental things with the watercolors. In this one, I only used the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue. It is amazing how many other colors you can create from limiting yourself to these three. I did some "pouring" in this one and some wet into wet techniques, as well as texturing with salt and with paper towels and almost dry paint. Fun! 

"Nestled In"

"Nestled In"
16 x 20 Watercolor
$100

My painting time lately has decreased because of the acquiring of a new puppy and a few other things. I am moving my antique booth out of the shop I am in. You other artists know how life gets in the way of painting. I really thought I had missed the mark in this one, but do like the water and reflections and the rich Irish hillside.
