Winter flowers

6 x 8
oil on board
$65.00

I found this image on paintmyphoto.com.  I loved the simplicity of it. I have a fear of painting glass    so it was a challenge for me.  Usually I use many more colours in my paintings, this was a nice change, very soothing.

I looked through some old pictures and of course the tulips jumped out.  It has been very stormy here lately so it was nice to paint something light.

Purple chair

At a loss for what to paint, I headed outside and took a picture of one of our deck chairs.  I have 4 and they are all different colours.  Here is #1 which today is my favourite.

Can I go outside?

Jack is one of my favourite cats to paint, every time I go into the pet store he is sitting very regally up on his stoop, just high enough so that none of the dogs can bother him...he doesn't like to be bothered.

Circle cat

6 x 6
oil on board
SOLD


A friend of mine goes for a walk most days and passes this cat.  He finally got close enough(now that the cat trusts him) to take some pictures.  I love how his body and head are lovely and round.
For some reason I find it more difficult to paint animals with smooth lines.  This was definitely a challenge for me.
