“Window II,” 8″ x 6″, oil on wood, $200

Heath brought me a big bouquet a couple days ago, just to be nice! Here they are in a square glass vase, sitting in my window above a red apple.

Info about the paintings in the “A Painting A Day” project:

Each day I paint, but about every other day I finish a painting. Most days I paint still-lifes (fruit, flowers, toys), but some days I paint people or go out for plein air landscape painting, or work on a larger studio painting. I try to capture the light effects, the color harmony, and the feeling and weight or substance of the things I paint, rather than the details. My style has been described as impressionistic, colorful, serene and sometimes whimsical.

I do my best to take good photos, but the color may look a little different in person. These small oil paintings look great framed up and placed in a small space on their own, or on a wall with several other small paintings.

Here’s another painting of flowers and fruit backlit by a window.

I really like the colors in this painting.

I’m going through updating links, and I looked at this painting again. It’s one of my favorites. I painted this in the kitchen while my dad was visiting, and I thought I would be distracted and paint poorly… But the light was perfect and I was in the zone. I’m going to paint some more apples!

Oil on gessoed foam core, 6×6″. March 18th. I really liked these apples on the Chartreuse fabric – very fun colors to paint. (I’m getting faster, so I’m able to get my hands washed before naptime ends!)

Oil on wood, 4 1/2″ x 10″, $180

March 16. I love painting on wood! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. Our cutting board fell apart over the weekend and I took the opportunity to try painting on it – can’t wait to get some more wood! I really like the way the whole thing looks – the colors and the modeling. What fun.

Lemons in Light / 6×8 / oil on canvas on board / $150 / email to purchase

I’ve been working really hard on “getting” translucency, and this one felt good. These came out really well. The shadow is good and I captured the translucency well.

Tues, orange halves. Oil on canvas board, 6×8. Feb 24.
