36. From My Garden

"From My Garden"

8 x 8 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

SOLD

Calla Lillies are one of my favorite flowers. I just love how structural and 

dramatic they can be. I don't usually work from photographs but I knew I wouldn't 

have time to paint this beautiful flower from my garden so I photographed it. 

I took several photos of it outdoors in the beautiful golden light right before sunset. 

Using my iPad to view the photo worked out beautifully, I loved how I could 

enlarge the part of the photo I was working on. This may be a good solution 

for painting flowers from my garden!

14. Petite Iron

"Petite Iron"
8 x 8 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

I purchased this petite little iron at one of the many antique shops in Old Town Clovis. 

While small, it presented a pretty big challenge when it came to rendering the subtle hints of color 

in all the grays. I placed the iron on a piece of glass to get these reflections. The glass had just 

a hint of green in it which created some interesting colors in the reflections. Overall I'm pleased with the outcome. I plan on revisiting subject matter similar to this, but for now my next piece will have LOTS of color and probably some simple organic shapes!

9. Shades of White

"Shades of White"

8 x 8 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

I enjoy painting white objects and I especially enjoy painting paper bags. When I saw the light hitting this bag and creating those beautiful long, loose shadows, I just had to paint it! This was really fun to paint, it was one of those paintings that just painted itself - gotta enjoy that! Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you all get to enjoy time with friends, family and loved ones.

4. Ben's Tomatoes

"Ben's Tomatoes"

8 x 8 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

There's nothing quite like home grown tomatoes for the best flavor. 

These lovely tomatoes turned into a delicious bruschetta, probably the last of the season 

as we had our first fall rain yesterday.
