"Clay Pots"

Oil on linen board 2009

11"x10"

This is a painting using five of the six Pre-Columbian pots in my collection. They are about 600 years old. The brown one is around 1000 years old. (So I'm told)

"Blue Bottle and Orange Vase"

8x8 on a wrapped canvas

These items were painted actual size and fit very nicely on this small canvas size.

A wrapped canvas means that the canvas is wrapped around the sides 1 1/2" deep so no frame is needed.

I enjoyed painting these bright colors.

"Gracie and Sammy" Oil Painting by Ronna Morse 2009

I've been wanting to paint our two dogs together for a while now and finally finished it.

I took this picture of them last winter after driving all over the area looking for a spot of snow.

The size is 16"x24"

I love the blue enamel of this silver bowl. The background cloth is actually a greenish color but is showing up blue.

While in Grenada this dog just plopped down on the beach and didn't seem to mind having his picture taken.

I just had to paint this vase again.

I love this vintage orange vase. It was fun to paint. I added some Pussy willow from my yard to add softness.

Our forum's shoe painting challenge. I chose to paint my husband's old cowboy boots.

This is my Chihuahua Sammy. He loves that little green ball.

I found this old embroidered cloth at the flea market and thought it would be interesting to paint.

This was also painted on a mirror. The peppers didn't want to hang around long so I had to work from a photo and the set up.

This was fun but yet crazy to paint. I placed the items on a mirror and used mineral oil for the water.
