LATE OCTOBER

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch canvas panel
SOLD

I borrowed this image from my good friend Corinne, hard to believe that this is a late October vision. I started the painting with a dark blue under colour, the greens just popped as did the single flower, I am always a little surprised at what you can pack onto a 6 x 6 inch canvas.

SMALL TOWN FLOWERS

size 16 x 20 inch
oil on 1/2 inch stretched canvas
$275.00

I took this photo in the spring just up the hill from where I live right when the early flowers were at their best. I started with a white canvas and sketched very loosely the composition. I blocked out all of the dark areas first and then just kept adding colour.

WINDOW SILL FLOWERS

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board

SOLD

These are two of my favourite glass pieces, they sit on the window sill in my kitchen, the added beauty of cosmos from my garden makes for a perfect still life.  I started with a plain canvas(no underpainting), then  sketched very loosely just marking the shapes with transparent brown.  I just kept colour blocking the shapes and adding little bits of detail.  I like the expressionist quality of this painting.
