Spring Tulips on a Summer Tapestry

14 x 11 x1.5" Acrylic on canvas

Sold

This painting was obviously created in the winter, when everything felt cold and I was looking for an escape – by painting something warm and comforting. But as the picture developed it took on a life of its own with its own storyline. While the humans are elsewhere engaged, the bored little kitties get into mischief.

This piece is painted on all sides of a gallery-wrapped canvas, and signed on the bottom.

Iris Abstract 

16" x 12"    Acrylic on Canvas

The Daily Paintworks

$195.

The irises and daffodils were in bloom when this piece was started. I had no idea how it would turn out (that's the beauty of the process - the discovery along the way.) I wanted something more than one more floral painting. Hundreds of changes, big and small, and here we are.

This piece is painted on gallery-wrapped canvas (16 x 12 x 1.5") and painted around every side. No need to frame it unless you want! It comes with a wire on back and ready to hang up.

Abundance 

11 x 14"   Oil on Canvas

The Daily Paintworks

$150.

Obviously, this piece is a fantasy! Painted with a sense of bliss, I put the things I love in it and paid no attention to the reality of of the scene. Beautiful flowers in a beautiful setting, with the feeling that somewhere not far off, beautiful music is playing. 

It is for sale, but won't be available for several weeks, as it has to dry.

A sincere thank you to the lovely person who sent me this beautiful cup all the way from the Met (NYC). The Met is home to the famous Vincent van Gogh painting "Irises" (1880). She must have known I would want to paint that cup with some flowers in it, and so I have.

                      Advent of Spring 

           10 x 10"      Acrylic on canvas  

                                       The Daily Paintworks Auctions         

                                                          Starting bid:  $105

Spring is here! You can tell because the spring flowers are blooming - the daffodils, crocus and especially the pansies. These pansies were on their way to the garden but stopped to pose for this little still life painting! The colors of a scarf hanging near by really compliment the hues in the flowers. 

This piece is painted on all sides of a gallery-wrapped canvas and needs no further framing. You could frame it, of course, but it has a wire on back and is ready to hang up on the wall.

                                                                             sold

Nothing like thoughts of summer to chase the winter gloom away! Where I live, it seems like the apples and the the tomatoes are ripe at the same time - right as the sunflowers are at their peak. They make a wonderful collection on the kitchen table, perfect for a still-life painting.

This picture is painted on all sides of the canvas, it can be framed, but it can also be hung up just as it is.

Shadows Along the Trail

9 x 12"   Acrylic on Canvas

The Daily Paintworks 

starting bid: $99

Walking along the Stevens Creek Trail in Mountain View, the trees are dense and sheltering. The sun filters through the canopy and gives a dappled appearance to the shadows below. Beyond that, the sun is brilliant on the scrub grass and small bushes that lead down to the creek. In drought years like this, it is all rather dry.

This painting covers all sides of the canvas. You can frame it, certainly, but you can also hang it up just as it is. I'm happy to put a wire on the back.

Pewter Roses 

         9 x 12"   Oil on canvas  

The Daily Paintworks         

                                                                             $125

This piece has has been a challenge as well as a pleasure to paint. Started as an experiment with a black and white photo, the idea was to produce a loose, easy piece in gentle pastel colors. Not how it ended up! It feels as much like a colored photograph or drawing as a painting, and is, well, mostly grey. Gray is not a color I naturally turn to, and mixing all the colors down to their lowest shade was a bit of an effort. But it felt right, and it felt as though I should just keep going to the finish. 

This piece begs for a frame, in my opinion, but it is painted on all sides and could be hung up on the wall just as it is. I am happy to put a wire on back.
