Kissing Cousins

Kissing Cousins  20x16" 
Oil on canvas. $385 + tax (TX only) + $25 sh/h.



Finished this yesterday in 2 settings - so almost ala prima. Love the bright colors and loose feel. Can't wait to paint more. Will be working on more "side by side" images from Bill Oakey's photographs.

A Likely Pair

A Likely Pair  8 x 10" 
Oil on canvas board. $110 + tax (TX only) + $15 sh/h.
Working in my studio is a pleasure. I'm enjoying creating new still life set ups. So many ideas, so little time. Finding out why odd numbers are preferred in painting. Composition is key - but each day is a new lesson. This looks very nice framed and now sits in my kitchen by the coffee maker. It could sit by yours, too if you like. :)

Three of a Kind

Three of a Kind  8 x 10" 
Oil on canvas board. SOLD.

Just painted this yesterday. Haven't cooked the apples yet. Hope to get another painting out of them first! Also hope the photo shows the variety of hues and temperatures I worked to capture in the reds. Was fun. Love the depth - feels like you an just pick one up!
