Is this Summer? - SOLD

"Bountiful Roses"
8x8  Oil on Linen Panel

I can't remember a summer less hot & more wet.  Summer in the south is hot, humid & sticky but not this summer.  Not complaining, like the cooler weather but a little less rain would be nice.  But the flowers seem to have benefited.

Abstracted - SOLD

"Splash of Hollyhocks"
12x12 Oil on Linen Panel
$325 
After many years of contemplating painting some abstracts, I finally took the plunge.  It was a blast!  I struggled for a starting point but found that inspiration from my last painting "Garden Shed II".  


Keeping some basic rules in my sight, I let color drive this work.  Color harmony, shape variety, calm & chaos were floating through my mind.  Stopping before I overworked was a challenge.  In the end, I was pleased.  I think it successful because I started with a sound foundation & hopefully, never lost sight of it.   Check out my Art Tip Blog post for Tuesday, it will be about what makes a good abstract & a few other thoughts.

No Green Thumb

"Garden Shed"
6x6 Oil on Panel
$95 + s/h


You'd think with as many flowers as I paint, that I would have a garden full of flowers.  Not so much.  In fact, I can't keep anything alive.  I killed a cactus once.  So I just rely on those more talented gardeners to supply me with the gorgeous subject matter.
