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.

Canadian Holiday

12 x 9"  Acrylic on canvas

The Daily Paintworks 

  $75

This painting is from a photograph I took while visiting Victoria, BC, a few years ago. It was a short visit so I had no idea exactly where we might be, except at a cottage by the water. This scene has kept my interest - it has a nice layout and a nice feel - so I have always wanted to paint it.

This piece is painted on canvas with a plain black border around the sides. You can frame it, but you could hang it up just as it is.

Spring Song

12 x 9 x 1.5    Acrylic on Canvas

The Daily Paintworks 
sold

This painting is a tribute to spring, an acknowledgment of spring's rebirth, and possibly a bit of an April Fools' Day joke. It was actually painted a year ago, in a very minimalist style. It seemed right at the time, part of the whole "art exploration" thing, after a while I became less and less pleased by it. So I decided to try and make it better without sacrificing the simplicity and elegance I had achieved. Maybe it's better, maybe not, and that is where the April Fools' joke comes in - directed at me!


Here's the original:

This painting is painted on all sides of a gallery-wrapped canvas, and needs no further framing. It sits flush against the wall and is ready to hang.

Nighttime

14 x 11"  Acrylic on Board

sold

I started (what I thought would be) a simple easy piece, some flowers in a vase. But then, somehow, my evil, detail-loving twin took over and turned it into a big deal painting, with lots going on... Then she left, leaving me to deal with the mess. My evil twin really loves a painting with a story, so I know there is one here. Unfortunately she left without telling us this story, so you will have to provide one of your own. Need I say it? This piece was painted in fun!

The Woods Near Loch Dochfour

9” x 12”  Acrylic on canvas

sold

The Virtual Paintout has traveled to Scotland this month. Using Google Street View, artists are invited to paint or draw a local scene. I chose this wooded area at the edge of Loch Dochfour which is right below the Ness River. I didn’t exactly plan to paint it like this, but I got to work, and inspiration just took over. You can see what it really looks like by clicking here.  This is one of the wonderful things about creativity, it takes on a life of it’s own.

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas. It can be framed, but you could hang it up, just as it is.

Cityscape

Wiltz, Luxembourg

9” x 12”  mixed-media on board

Daily Paintworks 
Sold

The Virtual Paintout has visited Luxembourg this month. I liked this spot in Wiltz because it had lots of peaked roofs, old buildings, and a sense of history. How to paint it. It seemed more appropriate as a drawing, but I’m a painter. So, I compromised -  a little painting a little drawing, a lot of precision. And that was a challenge. But I had fun doing it, and I hope you enjoy looking at it!

A Garden in Terrace, the study

(Anne and Bruce's Garden)

7" x 11"  acrylic on board

This is a study for a bigger piece. It was painted at the end of summer on a family visit to Canada. While everybody else prepared for a wedding, I slipped away with my paintbox. Terrace is located in western-central BC, with a much different landscape than ours in California. It's in a rainforest, and everything was lush and green, even at the end of summer. I was happy to get a chance to paint, even if it was just out in the backyard!
