Fall Welcome- SOLD

Purchase in my Etsy Shop

6x6 inch oil on canvas panel

I painted this yesterday when I was not feeling well with a cold and really had to push myself to paint. I decided I was going to put the paint down and not mess with it anymore, like the one stroke Carol Marine challenge. It is very freeing to paint this way. It is amazing how at a distance your eye blends all of the colors together to make the painting.  Like the loose and abstract feel of this cold medicine induced painting. :)

"Crossing Your Path"

Purchase in my Etsy Shop

6x8 inches oil on canvas panel

Painted this for the "Daily Paintworks Superstiion Challenge". Was a great excuse to paint a black cat. With the upcoming season would be a great addition to your fall decor. 

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

Available at Laurel Leaf Gallery

6x8 oil on archival raymar canvas board.

This is the title that came to mind when I looked at this little bluebird. It may be a gloomy day, but the weather like life will clear and the sun will shine again. You can not see in this photo, but the white has a lot of brushstroke textures. Painting birds are fun, because like their feathers there are lots of layers of paint.  It takes lots of colors and brushstrokes to build up their little bodies—lots of fun.

Watching the Flock

Available in my Etsyhop

Ok, the flock this Australian Shepherd was watching was not the furry white kind or the kind that goes moo—it was a flock of teenage boys playing lacrosse. Don't you often wonder what animals are thinking? 

I bet this one was thinking—I really would like that ball. I took this photo early fall last year, and I have wanted to paint it ever since and just getting around to it. I feel guilty for not posting for a while, but I was working on a sweet wall hanging for a wonderful family expecting twin girls. One of my favorite parts of painting is meeting the collectors and working with them to capture what they are visioning in a painting.

"Happy Girl"

Purchase in my Etsy Shop

6 x 6 inch oil on linen canvas

I took a photo of this doggie at the Franklin Street Festival. She looked like such a sweet little girl, a sweet mixture of maybe a dachshund and another breed. This is my last painting to paint before the art show. Looking forward to it and nervous at the same time. Found out I will get to see some of my best friends from art school— happy, happy, joy, joy. :)
