painting of daylilies

20x24 oil on stretched canvas

400.00

I finished this one up last night. I had demonstrated it for a class and love the way we let the oil colors run, fusing together to create a lot of excitement. Then the lilies were pulled out of areas of color washes and some form was emphasized leaving lots of lost edges.

Have a great day.

This miniature was painted by me on Tuesday, but I haven't had time to post the paintings daily. I love doing Pansies. They always seem so cheerful!

Rose Watercolor

My painting today is an 6x8 watercolor on WC paper. I am exploring the rose as you can tell by my recent posts. It is good to change mediums sometimes to think with a different slant on the form of the object.

This painting is available, matted in a cream color matt for 69.00.

Painting of Villa d'Este

Last year I took 34 on an Art Tour of Italy. Not all were painters, but we all photographed the many beautiful sites. We were able to take in the wonderful art museums, the Vatican, Florence, Venice and many other cities in Italy. The painting I finished today was from one of my photos of a sheltered corner at the Villa d'Este. This amazing villa and gardens was built by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the son of Lucrezia Borgia and the grandson of Pope Alexander VI. The gardens have something like 500 fountains and the surprising Fountain of the Hydraulic Organ. It is about 34KM from Rome. If you are ever in the area, don't miss this spot.
I loved the way the light hit the crumbling wall in the late afternoon in March!

Daily Painting for February 4th

16x20 oil on stretched canvas

unframed 400.00

Again, a painting from my Plein Air Painting in Vermont photographs.

I remember standing in the middle of the stream shooting down stream on this one. I have to admit it was much more comfortable painting it in my studio than the one done from the shore on site that day. It was nice and warm but the bugs were pesky.
