Beaux Arts, 8x8 oil painting

Beaux Arts
8x8 oil painting
on Raymar cotton panel
Unframed

I named this painting Beaux Arts after the fund-raising event at Scottsdale Artists' School last Saturday. It was a fun night and a successful event for the school.  I'm pleased to say that the two paintings I donated to the silent auction were sold.  I was on the Decoration Committee, and we had made sunflower arrangements for the tables; so we all took some home after the event. My sunflower arrangement died quickly, but I had taken lots of reference photos, and I painted this from one of those photos. Beaux Arts is an annual event, and you can see all the paintings in the auction here.

This painting is available through an online auction on Daily Paintworks.

Thank you for viewing my art.

Matilija Poppy, 9x7 watercolor painting

Matilija Poppy
9x7 watercolor painting
on 140 lb. Fabriano watercolor paper
Unmatted and unframed

I painted this from a photo I took of a Matilija Poppy at Mission La Purisima in Lompoc, California last year.  These poppies have large petals on tall stems, and they float in the breeze like angels.  They are so elegant, and challenging but fun to paint.

Easter Lilies, 12x12 oil painting

Easter Lilies

My son had sent me lilies at Easter, and I painted this from a photo of the flowers.  I really enjoyed painting these shapes -- different from the flowers I normally paint.

This is painted on a deep-edge canvas, so no need to frame.  It will be wired on the back before shipping.  It is available on Daily Paintworks -- just click on the link to go to my page.

Today I got in a little sunflower practice.  I haven't painted much in the past few weeks because of roofers and painters at the house, and it's amazing how quickly our skills decline when we don't paint every day!

Wildflowers, 7x5 watercolor painting

Wildflowers
7x5 watercolor painting

This is a little watercolor study I did today.   It's on the back of another not-so-good painting, so I'm offering it at a low price.  The painting will ship unframed, but with a 7x5 white matte (outer edge of matte is 10x8).

Stacked, 12x4 oil painting


Stacked
12x4 oil painting
on deep-edge cotton canvas
ready to hang

I re-worked this painting from a previous post, and I'm much happier with it now.  I like the long, narrow format.  This is painted on a deep-edge 12x4 canvas, and the sides are painted black -- no need to frame.  I'll include wire on the back when I ship it, so it will be ready to hang.

Peonies give me fits!  I painted this from a photo I took of a still life setup in Krista Eaton's class at Scottsdale Artist's School.  I'm still working on a larger painting I started in that class.  This was some good practice.

Purple Passion, 8x8 oil painting

Purple Passion
8x8 oil painting
on Raymar cotton panel, unframed

I don't know the name of these little purple flowers, but I love the color.  I painted this from a still life set-up in Krista Eaton's class this past week at Scottsdale Artists's School.  We had so much fun -- the time passed all too quickly.  If you like the color purple, Google the words "images of purple flowers" for some great eye candy.

Tea Rose, 8x8 oil painting on deep-edge canvas

Tea Rose
8x8 oil painting
on deep-edge canvas,
ready to hang

This past year I planted my first rose bush in my yard.  I chose it for the color -- I don't know much about roses, but I want to learn more.  The rose plant iscalled a Tea Rose, and it produces roses in beautiful colors of peach, pink and white.  I painted this from a set-up in my studio, and the daisies were flowers I bought at the market.  Now I want to plant more rose bushes, but I have a feeling I should wait until cooler weather, since I live in the Phoenix area.

Spring Bouquet, 12x12 oil painting

Spring Bouquet
12x12 oil painting
on Raymar cotton panel
unframed

I painted this from a still life set-up in a class I took.  I can't remember which class -- it was either with Hedi Moran or Joni Falk.  I added a few touches of my own as well.  This is a 12x12 painting on a Raymar cotton panel, so I recommend that it be displayed in a frame.

When thinking of a name for this painting, I went with my first impression:  Blue!  I painted this from a still life setup.
