"Reflections", 6x9, oil on Yupo. This slick paper gives me options for gloss and glass that are fun to experiment with. The bottle is a funky shape and the ink well a darker cobalt. I worked to get the idea of still life on glass.

Study in Yellow
"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.

Mom's Vase with Marble
"Mom's Vase with Marble", oil on canvas board, 12x6. This vase belonged to my mother. I have had it 20+ years now. I love it and paint it to remember her. Marbles intrigued me. This one is opaque. As always I have tried to be thoughtful in my color choices. Light was from at least two sources and bit difficult to pin down.

Bath House, DP #20
"Bath House", oil on canvas, 8"x10".
This is a scene in Bath, Maine. The buildings are old and beautiful. It was painted outdoors ("en plein aire) in one sitting, wet in wet ("alla prima"). I was interested in the color and the shadow and finding the light.

Sunflower, DP #19
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.

Green and Red, DP #18
"Green and Red" is another small oil painting on Yupo paper. My objective was to paint in a limited complimentary palette. After the set up my eyes kept focusing on the shadow which, of course, I included. Oil on yupo is fun. I recommend it.
