39. Valley Sunset


"Valley Sunset"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Canvas Board


This is the sky I saw as I was taking an early evening walk by my parents home. I loved the cloud formations and the beautiful radiant colors. This was a nice change from my usual subject matter.

37. Vintage Market Find


"Vintage Market Find"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Gesso Board

SOLD

This one was really fun and smooth sailing until I got to the closure hardware. It's been sitting on my easel for months because I procrastinated, I just didn't want to start the metal part of it! I felt like the clasp would actually be fun but I was sure the rest of it would be hard work. I finally forced myself to complete it and wow, did I struggle with it! The clasps really gave me a hard time and I almost threw the piece out because I just couldn't get the clasp to work! Eventually it came together and I was encouraged enough to complete it and post it. Sometimes it works that way, the part I think it going to be "fun" almost does me in! As cute as this little "toy" purse is, which I found at a local vintage shop, I'm so glad it's off my easel and that it escaped the "round" file!

10. Three Selfies


"Three Selfies"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Gesso Board

When I started this painting I had decided to name it "Tis the Season". Once I finished it 
I couldn't resist naming it "Three Selfies" instead... for reasons obvious to the viewer I hope!
My first self-portrait(s).

SOLD

6. Just the Top


"Just the Top"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Gesso Board

This is actually a tall container for drinking straws that I keep on my kitchen counter. 
It has a really interesting design along the bottom but I was more intrigued by the 
shiny top which is why I painted "just the top" of the container. I don't actually use it for straws, 
I just think it's a really pretty container and I like how it catches the light.

#3 Lemon and Its Shadow


"Lemon and Its Shadow"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Gesso Board

This is one of the same lemons used in my last Daily Painting. I wanted to try 
painting the lemon under different lighting conditions. I liked this slightly backlit effect. 
I was also intrigued by the subtle changes in the leaf color since 
finishing the last painting, it was turning into a more "olive" shade of green.

#2 My Neighbors Bounty


"My Neighbors Bounty"
8 x 10 Inches
Oil on Gesso Board

A sincere thank you to my generous neighbor who allows me to harvest
 from his lovely lemon tree. Part of this tree hangs over our fence and it's fruit has provided 
us with lots of refreshing lemonade during our hot summers, along with lemon cookies, 
lemon pound cake and even lemon chicken. Thank you neighbor!
