This is an old, plain little bird house hanging in our back yard. I really like looking at this bird house – it always makes me smile, and I’ve been wanting to paint it for a while. Approx 6×8″, oil paint on board. (I’m using nice oak plywood, primered on one side – should I be calling this “board” or “wood” or something else?)(#3278)

Oil on board, approx 6×8″. The grapes are sitting on a reflective surface, and I tried to capture the vibrancy of the grapes and the color range of the grapes and their reflections. Scrubbing this one.

A mom and baby loving each other at the park. Baby is touching mom’s chin. My photo’s not very good – the real painting doesn’t have that chalky white face… Oil on board, 8×6″.

This painting has turned out to be my best selling print!

I’ve been really frustrated with my paintings this month, and finally realized that my frustrations started when my favorite brush died and I ran out of my good paint.  I’m back in supplies, and feeling much better now! Please wish me luck in getting back into the painting rhythm!

There have been a lot of people boating around this last week. It is so beautiful out! 6×8, oil on RayMar canvas panel.

My favorite part is the yellow reflection on the blue fabric, under the lemon half. Oil painting on wood, 6×6.

I liked the shadows on these. Oil on canvasboard, 6×8.

I did the iris field again, but with a very deliberate color scheme. 6×8, oil on canvasboard.

Today I spent a couple hours painting a field of yellow irises en plein air. Oil on canvas board, 12×16.
