Color Riot, 12x4 oil painting

Color Riot
12x4 oil painting
on deep-edge canvas

This isn't what I was going to paint today, but when I went to the market and saw all these bright colors, I grabbed the bouquet and decided to paint it instead.  These daisies are so brightly colored -- how do they do that?  It must be dye, because soon after I put the daisies in a vase,  the water turned pink!  This is painted on a deep-edge canvas, so no need to frame.

Three's Company, 6x6 acrylic painting

Three's Company
6x6 acrylic painting
on deep-edge canvas

I haven't painted sunflowers in a while, so I did this little study to keep in practice.  This painting is on a small deep-edge canvas, so there's no need to frame it.  The sides are painted black (actually, the background and the sides are Payne's Gray acrylic -- not quite black).

This painting is available for purchase on Daily Paintworks.

Daisy Trio, 10x8 watercolor painting

Daisy Trio
10x8 watercolor painting
on Fabriano 140# watercolor paper

I did this watercolor study today -- it's on the back of a really awful painting I did in a workshop (I won't mention which workshop).  Anyway, I liked this little painting so I decided to post it.  At least the sheet of paper wasn't a total loss.

This painting is available for purchase for a small amount on Daily Paintworks.

Daisy Stack, 12x4 oil painting

Daisy Stack
12x4 oil painting
on deep-edge canvas

I love to paint daisies, and I did this one from memory.  This is the first time I've tried the long and thin format.  Although it wouldn't work for everything, I like it for this.  This is painted on a deep-edge canvas (about 1-1/2" deep), so it doesn't need to be framed.  The sides are painted with black gesso.  

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

Daisies and Oranges, 10x10 oil painting




Daisies and Oranges
10x10 oil painting
on Raymar cotton panel, unframed

I recently took a class from my friend Krista Eaton, and I painted this from a still life set-up in her studio.  If this painting looks familiar, it's because a few of us have posted our work from that class (including Krista)!  What a fun day we had -- Krista is a wonderful person and a great teacher.

Spring Chick, 8x10 watercolor painting

Spring Chick
8x10 watercolor painting
on 140# Fabriano cold press paper

I didn't have much time to paint today, so I did this little study from a photo I saw on paintmyphoto.ning.com.  This is a site where photographers post photos for artists to use as painting reference.  Although I was looking for a rooster, I couldn't pass up this cute little chick when I saw it.  Many thanks to the photographer, Diane Caswell Christian, for the use of her Spring Chick photo.
