Study in Yellow

Buy it Now

"Study in Yellow", 11x10, oil on paper.  For this painting I was interested in getting a variety of yellows against a neutral background, but also keeping with some complementary tones.  I don't usually paint on paper but this works and has a different look compared to canvas or board.

Sunflower, DP #19

Buy Now

Sunflower, 6x8, oil on canvas board, mounted on wood.  I love this little vase and thought this Sunflower from the market would be just perfect!  This was painted in natural light in my studio.

Next to tulips, sunflowers are my favorite.  I have other sunflower paintings I will post as time  goes by.

Still cold here in Maine, so cut flowers in the house are really helping give the illusion of spring.  

Daffodils just opened outside, so maybe I can paint them next.  

I am getting my home studio ready to open for the season.  Lots of work but full of promise.

(Bidding starts at $150.00)

Kimono #2 measures 14"x11"; it is a collage mounted on cradled board.  Ready to hang!

It is part of a series of 12 collages assembled into the shape of a garment.  Each collage is created with reassembled paintings of mine.  This one is made of only one painting, a work that began its life as an oil painting on Yupo paper of a vase, an onion and two garlics straight from a friend's garden (or maybe the farmer's market?).  It was my first painting using this paper and I had no idea how to handle it, thus the unsuccessful painting.  However I rather like its rebirth as a collage.   

You can see two other examples of this series in previous Blogs dated March 26 and April 2 of this year.

Daily Painting Number 5

"Winter Tulips in the Window", oil on watercolor paper, 9" x 12",  depicts my yearning for spring to come here in midcoast Maine.  I often  buy tulips in February and March to keep up my spirits.  This bunch was sitting in a dormer window. I tucked a drape and a vinegar bottle behind it to add some variation. Thank  heavens for the sunshine!
