Red Apple 6 x 6 Oil

I'm doing three 6 x 6 paintings of apples. Next will be yellow then green.

Three Apples 8 x 10 Oil on linen

I love enamelware. I now have several pieces I want to paint in the near future. I'm also on an apple kick. You can't see the blueish color along the top edge of the pitcher but it adds to the blue, yellow and red colors needed in a painting. At least I believe it adds more interest if those three colors are in a painting. I don't always manage to do that but I'm working on it.

Three Old Pots 10 x 10 Oil on linen

I bought these pots at the flea market thinking they would make a neat painting. I'm not liking it at all. Too washed out. I lost interest half way through. I had too much light hitting the set-up and I just couldn't get the colors I wanted. But I learned something from the process. That alone made it worth finishing.

Orange Tulips

9 1/2 x 24 Oil on linen

I saw these orange and yellow tulips in the store the other day. I just had to put them in my ultramarine vase and paint them. I added my favorite little orange pot to get the reflection off the blue. I haven't signed it yet. I'm thinking about going in and touching up the tulips some. Still need to decide on that.

Paisley Pot

6x6 Oil

I couldn't pass this little pot up when I saw it at the flea market.

"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.
