Sao Bras Ahead

Azores Islands, Portugal

11" x 14" oil on canvas

$75

The Virtual Paintout is touring around The Azore Islands off the coast of Portugal this month - there are many fine paintings so far. I stopped to paint this stand of trees on the road to Sao Bras. I was taken by the lacy pattern their branches made against the sky.

You can see more of my work by going to my Gallery page at The Daily Paintworks.

This piece is painted on all sides of this canvas. It can be framed, or it could be hung, just as is.

Just Plain Peonies

11" x 14" oil on canvas
$75

These peonies, blooming in my garden were so spectacular that they just didn't need any thing else around them! Well, I used a lot of thick paint to set them off and convey how lush they are!

Like many of my paintings, this piece is painted on all sides of the canvas. It can be framed, or it can be hung just as it is.

To see more of my work, please visit my Gallery page at the Daily Paintworks, or visit me at Artistes de Studio, a website devoted to studio work. Lots of nice art there! Thanks for looking!

I have made every effort to match the digital color of the image you see to the paintings, but not all monitors, lighting effects or digital cameras are totally accurate and some variation will occur.

Artist's Statement

My main goal as a painter is to express the beauty I see around me. I feel that this is my mission in life, and I take it seriously.

I love the process of painting, itself, and me, color is the best part. I see color theory as an evolving concept, one that never ceases to amaze and delight, so to learn more, to do better... this is where I am a seeker!

I hope you enjoy these paintings, I think I can honestly say I work long and hard over them. Not because I'm a perfectionist - I'm certainly not - but because I understand that all these pieces will last a very long time. Artists, I think must also be craftsmen. We must strive to create a thing of integrity and (for me) beauty for others to share in and enjoy.

Thank you for looking!
