Cow 64 Another day

size 6 x 6
oil on panel
SOLD

I think there could be a thousand paint strokes in this painting, I used a very small palette one blue,two reds,two yellows and of course burnt umber. I just kept mixing and mixing to get more and more wonderful colours...sometimes less is truly more.

Under the plum tree

oil on board

This chair is usually in my living room, I decided to place it under the plum tree in my back yard for some different lighting. I like the idea of a velvet chair sitting on the lawn.

Bedroom chair

6 x 6 inch
oil on board
SOLD

This is a chair I have had for a couple of years now, every time I look at it I want to paint it, today was the day. I am in love with the colour turquoise...thalo blue is one of my very favourite paint colours, it was a treat to use so much of it in this painting.

Through the trees

size 10 x 10 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I took the photo for this painting at St. Annes academy in Victoria, I love walking there when I visit.  This painting is a little bit of a departure for me, I want to work more with light and shadow.

A wonderful day

12 x 12 inch
oil on board
$150.00

I did a lot of mixing with this painting and overlapping colours, it feels kind of abstract to me.
