August Moon

9" x 12 " oil on canvas

The Daily Paintworks,  
sold

I love summer. It is the best time, the sunflowers are blooming, the tomatoes and melons are ripe. At night you can hear the crickets chirping so loud you'd think they own the place. The earthy smell of grass and the garden fill the air with a perfume that cannot be detected during the day when car exhaust predominates. And the big August moon - the Sturgeon Moon - although this year it was called the super moon, rises over a peaceful backyard kingdom.

This piece is painted on all sides - it can be framed, or you can just hang it, as it is.

Double Delights

12" x 12"  x1.5 " oil on canvas

The roses have bloomed in my yard, and the most stunning were the Double Delights. Those are cream colored roses with bright red edging. The first blooms are always so lush and abundant!

This piece was painted on wrap-around canvas, 1.5" thick, with paint covering all sides. It hangs flush against the wall, so it does not need framed, but you could, anyway!

Washington Street, Mountain View

11"  x 14"    oil on canvas

The Daily Paintworks

$75

Our city is growing and changing at a phenomenal rate.  Many old neighborhoods are giving way to high-rise housing, and streets like this are disappearing - no more houses with pyramid roofs are even thought about. I wanted to capture this charming old neighborhood with this brilliant magenta bush and that peaked roof so people could see what Mountain View looked like in days gone by -  it shouldn't be forgotten.

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas. It can be framed up, or  hung  as  is. 

To see more of my work - please visit my Gallery page at the Daily Paintworks, or at the Plein Air Artists website. Lots of nice paintings there!

Trumbull Street Underpass,
Detroit, Michigan

9" x 12" acrylic on board

sold

The Virtual Paintout took a staycation this month and only traveled as far as Detroit. There were so many things to paint, big city buildings, some nice houses, some ruined ones, lots of industrial sites and some interesting examples of Americana and its curiosities. Looking at the work submitted by the different artists, you can see what I mean. Personally, I was really in a mood to paint trees, and discovered that the railroad tracks have lots of greenery around the underpasses. When I found this water tower peeking out through the trees, I knew I'd found my spot!

What's the story here? I don't really know -  part fact, part fiction, like many good tales.

Simple as that!

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

A Day in the Country
(Bucolic Bulgaria)

oil on board   9.5" x 13"

 The Daily Paintworks    $75

The Virtual Paintout  travels through Bulgaria this month.  Touring around with the Google Map Street View, I looked for something I would enjoy painting. It seems like most of Bulgaria is still under the effects of winter - snow on the ground, trees yet to leaf out, the earth still asleep. I've had enough cold weather and was hungry for the sun, so when I came upon this rural area with lots of sunlight and greenery, I know I'd found my spot! I came here for the weather but stayed to paint this pleasant country road.

First Roses 

11" x 14" oil on canvas

nfs

First roses of the season - they are always so lush. Every year, by October I am tired of painting roses and swear I that I am done with them. But come April out they bloom in abundance, and that old siren song calls to me... "Come, paint me.... come and paint me ..." Every year I put out my best effort, never feeling like I have succeed in capturing their opulence or beauty. And yet, I always try.

This painting is painted on all sides. It can be framed as you like, or simply hung up as it is.

Wash Day

Valparaiso, Chile

sold

While riding around the streets of Valparaiso, with The Virtual Paintout, using the Google Street View, I came across this old neighborhood, where everybody seemed to be doing their laundry.

Winter Morning Moon

10" x 10" oil on wrap-around canvas

Occasionally, if you go outside at just the right time, you get to see the full moon setting, just as the sun is rising. The sky has beautiful pearly shades of color, and in the winter (like now), the branches of the trees make a lacy effect in front of the setting moon. It is just beautiful.

Sheep in the Road

 $75

The Virtual Paintout is painting this month on the the Isle of Man. Riding around,  using Google Street Views, I came upon these sheep not just in the road, but all around - it seems they own the place! What with the hedges of daffodils, flowering hillsides, and sunny skies, it was just a beautiful place to paint!

Autumn Woods

New Brunswick, Canada

$45.

The Virtual Paintout has traveled to New Brunswick, Canada for the month of November, and I stopped to paint this lovely stand of trees.  They seemed to be in harmony with this autumn season. It seems like I could have been standing out there on the roadside painting just yesterday.

The Change of Seasons

22" x 28" oil on canvas

n/a

Sadly, it comes - the finish of another summer. Bright, beautiful days come to an end and autumn takes over. The tomatoes and zucchini finish up, winter greens begin to grow, leaves turn color and fall, the seasons move on.

Not being a "fall" person, it took a few years to paint this one. I'd work on it a while, then put it away in favor of the winter still-lifes. Then, as the next summer ended I would pick it up and work on it some more. Always, as I painted it, this song stuck in my head. It's from Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, called "September". I know, it's past September now - past Halloween, but it seems to fit this painting. It is beautiful music. Listen, and see if it doesn't just fit the mood of this piece.

On another note, I had the honor recently of being selected as the Women's Press Artist of the week. They chose a nice spring picture, which I thought contrasted nicely with our current season. Thank you, Sonia Paz Baronvine-Silva for choosing my artwork.

Everybody associates windmills with Holland, but Denmark has it's share of them. The Virtual Paintout went to the island of Zealand this month, and I found several wonderful places to stop and paint from the Google maps. I came across this windmill in Lyngby, near Copenhagen, at the Open Air Museum.

Canal Scene

20" x 24"  oil on canvas

$400.

In Venice, most walkways lead to a canal. Some canals are very small, coming right up to someone's back door or garden wall. Some have beautiful little bridges over them. Passing over such a canal on an elegant little bridge is where I found this quiet scene.

The Virtual Paintout

River Scene

Soi Thana Sap, Bangkok, Thailand

13" x 9.5" oil on board

n/a

The Virtual Paintout is traveling through Thailand for the month of July. I was looking for a scene that would not only be fun to paint, but would also express the character of this unique country itself. I was captivated by the way the people here live right up to and on the river. Although this is a less prosperous neighborhood, I found a certain appeal to it, rustic but serene, you can see what I mean by clicking here.
