Abstract color study

9x12 original oil on canvas board

200.00

This was a great exercize. I'm not sure if you can see it but this painting is composed of about a hundred rectangles of subtle shades of different colors which gives it a sort of pixilated look. Each color/rectangle was studied in the landscape and then mixed separately (which, really...isnt that what we're always suppose to do?) It took about 4 hours! It really makes you see the gradation of colors, the intensity of colors, and all the different values. It was not meant to actually be a painting but I liked it so much, and it got so much positive feedback from the painting group, that I decided to post it for sale. Some smart person with a very good eye decided to buy it. I love that!

Floweres on My Mantle

11x14 original oil on foam board, 350.00

One of my clients gave me these beautiful roses. The backround is of my new glass tile fireplace. I love the contrast of colors and textures. Painting glass is always interesting. It amazes me how little you actually have to"paint" it to make it resemble glass. When you're painting impressionistically, its always a challenge to have the object read as glass without looking too realistic. I was pretty happy with this one. There is room for improvement though.
