Since I have not started painting yet (my recovery is slow) , just thought I would post an old painting. This is a watercolor about 14x18, matted to a 20x24. A friend has this one. I hope to start painting soon. The weather is getting nice out so I am getting the "bug" to do some plein air painting.
This is just a small greeting card, about 6x8 which I did a series of. I haven't blogged anything for quite awhile because of having knee surgery and not being able to get to my basement studio. I am doing a lot of rehab, which has sort of consumed my life for the present. I just wanted to post my little snowman to tell all of you, "Happy New Year" and I hope to be back to painting before long. As an artist friend always says to other artist friends, "keep your brushes wet". I hope to soon.
For some reason this one didn't go out on the blog correctly yesterday so I am re-sending it. This one was taken in the shade. It is a 16x20 oil on a linen panel. Such a nice surface to work on. One of these paintings is to be given to a dog handler for a prize for winning at a field trial so it is NFS. 
This one was taken in the sun. What a difference in photographs. A photographer, I am not. Just thought I would show you the difference that a photo can make. I like the shaded ones and my husband likes the ones in the sunshine.
This is the same dog, different background, different pose, lighting etc. They brought me two photos to work from, now they have to choose which one they want. It is also a 16x20 oil on stretched canvas and is not for sale. 
I decided to do this one again. The other one is 8x12 and this one is 9x12, which I had a frame for. I now have a frame for the other one also. I liked the effect I got , I don't know which one I like the best, although the other one scanned the best I think. It is a 9x12 oil on a Raymar panel. I love that linen surface! This painting brings back memories of my trip last summer that was so great. It is framed in a driftwood frame with a linen liner with a gold lip. It is $300.00 including S&H. 
Here is the mate to the other. It has just been licensed for the open edition prints and they are on the market now--somewhere. No hatboxes for this one, but I like it better than the other. It also is a 16x20 oil on canvas.
This is a 16x20 oil that I did a few years ago when I was painting for a company that made prints from my paintings. It has a mate that I will blog tomorrow or whenever. It has been licensed on open edition prints and also hat boxes. Cato's sold the hat boxes a couple of years ago and the prints are somewhere out there in the marketplace.
This is a portrait of a dear friend who passed away last spring. He was always at his Amoco station and in a dead run to make sure everyone got taken care of. We miss him. This is a 14x18 oil and I painted it for his son to give to Leo's widow.
I did this one larger than the previous one. This is a 24x36 oil and was painted from the photos that I took this spring in our lovely park. Some day I will have to paint it with the people playing in the band. We still have band concerts three times a week in the summer. I think I like the small one better. It was fun to paint though. Right now, it is NFS.
I did this in a watercolor workshop this past weekend. It is a little larger than my scanner so I had to trim the left side a bit. Some time ago I did a small 5x5 oil of this same Iris. It is a 9x12 watercolor, matted with off white and has a gold liner. It is $75.00 including S&H.
I have painted this scene from almost every angle. This is a 16x20 oil of our local park with the bandstand and the springs. People used to come to the springs for healing waters. I am working on a 24x36 like this one. Then I had better look for another subject. Or maybe another season. How would that be? Our Picnic celebration is in July and I am just probably excited to see old friends so am feeling nostalgic. Maybe that is why I am doing so many of these scenes. It is fun though. Maybe I will wait for fall before doing some more. 
I have really been in the "bandstand mood". I am trying to perfect the scene so I can hang the painting in the local bank. Of course I have to eliminate a few trees, monuments etc. so it is not exact. Our summer concerts are so wonderful for a town this size and I am hoping everyone enjoys this scene. This is the time of year that organizations ask me for a donated painting for their raffle to make money. I don't know how many of these paintings I have done. Many!! It is a 24x36 oil and is not for sale. I am doing two more which I will post when finished.
This is a 24x36 oil that I just completed. It is a view of our park that I have painted many times for local club groups for their fund raisers. This is the first time I have painted this large in some time and it was fun. It is NFS right now anyway.
This is an 8x20 oil and is one that has been printed in an open edition on the market. This is on textured masonite. I did several of these with this technique and several of them have been licensed and printed. It is $500.00 in cluding S&H.
This is an 11x14 oil, painted on stretched canvas. I painted it from a photograph that I took when I visited Santa Fe four years ago. I think maybe this was on Canyon Road, although I am not sure. I took so many photos and I always think I can remember just where it was taken, but I guess I don't. This painting not framed at the present and is $400.00 including S&H
I paint this scene so much as it is what I see from my little "get-away" cabin on the lake. It is a 6x18 acrylic, matted out to a 12x24. It is painted on gessoed watercolor board. It is $200.00 including S&H.
This is a small 8x10 oil on a wrap-a-round canvas and I just sold it at the Dogwood Festival in Camdenton, Mo.
This is a watercolor and gouache and some liquid acrylic on rice paper so I call it a mixed media. It is matted out to about an 18x24 or so. It has a natural colored matt with gold liner and is ready to frame. It would need to be under glass. These paintings on rice paper are really fun as you don't quite know where the paint is going and since I am a really controlling painter, it is sort of hard for me to keep it in control. I love doing them. It is $200.00 uncluding S&H..jpg)
This is a large watercolor and belongs to my daughter. I have been working in oils mostly this year so this was done some time ago. Realism in the flower and lots of abstract stuff going on in the background. Just thought it "fit" this time of year. Owner: Dana Whitesell 
This is a 20x24 watercolor. It matted out to about a 24x30. There are open edition prints of it on the market. Just google my name, Peggy Thatch Sibley and you will find lots of prints. Original just sold to Tom & Anell Haase. 
Again, this is a still life that I did a few years ago. It is a 16x20 oil, painted on gessoed textured masonite. It is one of a series I did with this textured technique. It is now owned by Stanton & Casseille Gammon 
This is my son's yellow lab. I painted this some time ago and just thought I would share it with you. It is acrylic, matted and framed out to about a 20x24. It is now hanging in my grandson's college apartment. I just wanted you to see the variety of work that I do. Owner: Alex Sibley 
This is one of the first pretty scenes that I photographed as we got into the pretty part of Colorado on our trip last summer. So many pretty sights to see in Colorado. This is a small 6x8 oil on a Raymar panel with the edges painted so would sit on a little easel without a frame or I now have a silvery gold 3" frame that it really looks good in. It would be $150.00 without frame and $200.000 with frame, including S&H. 
I just moved in to photograph this so the drippy, abstract stuff is not on the bottom. Close up of the dog though. I photographed this while it was under glass so there may be a few reflections in it if you look close.
I did this painting a long time ago. Someone wanted a print of it so I have been just making one on my own computer. It is a large gouache and watercolor mixed media. It is not for sale. Just thought I would share it with you.
This is one I have had for quite awhile. This was painted when I was working in watercolor a lot. I bouce back and forth between oil, watercolor, and acrylic. I just had to photograph it for something else so decided to put it on my blog. Maybe I will get back into watercolor soon. It matts out to a 20x24, has a white matt with blue liner and is $300.00, including S&H.
This is another painting of a stream in Estes Park Colorado. I photographed this when out there last summer. The painting is just a little longer than this shows but I seem to get better color when I can scan something rather than photograph so this picture cuts off about an inch from the bottom. I is an 8x12 oil, painted on gessoed Masonite. The edges are painted and it looks good just sitting on an easel, but of course, could be framed. It is $300.00 including S&H. 
Another little mountain stream. This also is on a 6x8 wrap-a-around canvas. It could also be framed or this is such a nice size to sit on a small easel. It is $150.00 including S&H. Or the pair for $200.00.
This is a small 6x8 oil on a wrap-a-around canvas. It could be framed as the canvas is 3/4 inches deep. When in Colorado last summer I photographed so many subjects, some of which were little streams coming out of the mountains. This one was in Estes Park, Co. The rocks, the pine trees, wild flowers and stream all made for a quiet peaceful afternoon. My friends painted on the scene. So much fun! This one is $150.00 including S&H.
Again, I just am having a hard time getting these oils photographed. I will take them again when the weather warms up outside and see if I don't get truer colors. This is a scene painted from a photo that I took last fall at the Pomme de Terre river. It is on a Fredrix archival canvas panel. It is $200.00 and is unframed as of now.
I can't seem to get a good photo; it is too cold to go outdoors and I keep getting a glare on the oil but decided to blog it anyway. This is a 10x20 oil on canvas panel and it is $250.00 including S&H. I will get a better photo when this weather warms up enough to take it outside for photographing.
This is a very small little fall scene. I wanted to try to paint in more gray tones without getting the fall colors too garish. It got a little more colorful than I really wanted. I am now painting one a little larger and trying to hold the color down a little more. This one is a 6x12 oil on gessoed masonite. Looks cute on a little easel as I painted the edges. It is $100.00 including S&H. No frame for it as yet.
I guess I am practicing on this scene to get the better composition. I also seem to get better pictures when I scan an image as when I photograph it. This is Colorado again, along I-70. It is an 8x10 oil on gessoed masonite. It is 150.00 including S&H.
This painting did not photograph too well either and I will try to get a better one later on. It is an 18x24 oil painted on gessoed masonite. It is priced at $600.00, including S&H.
This is a larger oil of the same area but this did not photograph too well. I will try again for a better photo when it warms up outside. This again, is taken from photos that I took on my trip to Colorado last summer. It is an 18x24 oil painted on gessoed masonite. It is priced at $600.00 including S&H.
Another small painting of same subject area, just handled a little differently. It is unframed. This is a 6x12 oil and is $100.00 including S&H.
This is another small painting painted from some of my photos from my trip last summer. I have painted several from this spot. It is an 8x8 3/4 oil painted on gessoed masonite. It is unframed at this time and it priced at $200.00 including S&H.
This is a small watercolor & gouache of a scene toward our lake cabin. Of course it is winterized now. The image is 4x7 and it is matted with white with a green and gold liner so the matted size is 10x13. It is priced at $50.00 including S&H.+2007.jpg)
This is just one of the beautiful places we stopped and took pictures on our Colorado trip. This was just off of I-70. There was a nice little mountain stream at the bottom. This is an 8x10 oil, on gessoed masonite board and it framed. It is $200.00 including S&H..jpg)
This is a mate to the previous painting I just put on the blog. It also is a 12x12 acrylic and is priced at $300.00 or the pair for $500.00. It also is on a 1 1/2 ince wrap around canvas. No frame needed.+acrylic.jpg)
This is a 12x12 acrylic painting of Rose of Sharon. It is on a 1 1/2 inch deep wraparound canvas. It is priced at $300.00. It has a mate and I would sell the two for $500.00.
This is another rice paper painting and it is matted and framed, with plexiglass. It is probably about 22x30 counting the matting and framing. It is $400.00 including S&H. 
This painting is not a new one and is owned by a friend of mine but this is what it looks like today in Missouri so I just wanted to share it with you who view my blog. It is watercolor, gouache and gesso loosely painted on rice paper which has been applied to illustration board with gesso. Real fun! Owners: Cathy & Norm Buechting 
This one is hot off the easel today. A friend of my husband's gave him a pup and in the deal I was to paint him a painting of one of his prize bird dogs. So here it is. We will mail it to him and surprise him with it. It is a 16x20 oil and will be a gift so is not for sale. Just hope he likes it. 
I don't seem to be getting any great grandchildren, just granddogs. This is my grandson's little dauschund, Amos. They are quite inseparable. This is just hot off the easel today and still may require some tweaking. Of course, this one is NFS.
This is another scene from my August trip to Colorado. Of course, I am painting from photos now. These little paintings really bring back memories of the trip that I cherish. This is an 8x10 oil on a linen canvas panel. It is priced at $150.00 and is framed.
This is the last of my little Colorado paintings for now. I have a couple more but they really need some major surgery to be presentable. They may have to go to the "dead pile". This is a quick little 5x7 oil on a Pintura panel that I did at my friend's workshop. This was also at the Stonebridge area outside of Salida Co. It is priced at $100.00 and it is framed. 
This is my second painting, done from the same spot, looking another direction. When we finished painting that afternoon, we discovered the battery was dead on the car and with three cell phones with us, we had no service. A very nice man, with his grandson, came to our rescue, got us started with jumper cables and off we went to town for a new battery. Just another adventure. This is another 6x8 oil on birch backed linen and is priced at $150.00 unframed. I can always order a frame for it though, and will at a later date. 
This was the first painting I did when we arrived. Little yellow sunflowers were just everywhere and you will notice them in most of the little paintings that I did while around Salida. Such a beautiful area. This is a 6x8 oil on canvas panel and is priced at 150.00 unframed. 
My little paintings have dried now, from my Colorado trip so I am sending the rest of them today. This was painted at the Stonebridge area outside of Salida Colorado, where one of my friends gave a two day workshop. It is an 8x10 oil, painted on a Fredrix archival panel. It is $200.00 and is unframed at this time. 
I painted this one the same day at the lake in Frisco Colorado, except later in the day. We went sightseeing in the heat of the day and came back to this lovely spot to paint. There was a painting, or several paintings, each way one would look. I just had to put the sailboats in there. Don't you know they were having fun also! This little painting is a 7x12 oil on gessoed masonite. It has no frame yet but I can get one made. It is priced at $200.00 unframed. 
I have been on a trip to Colorado with two of my plein air painting friends. We had such a great time. I painted this at the lake in Frisco where we stayed two nights and painted in the area. It was such a lovely place. This painting is a 9x12 oil painted on a linen panel with birch backing. It is $250.00 unframed and $300.00 with a 4" gold frame, including S&H
This is the Yellow Iris in the gold frame that I mentioned in the previous one. The painting scanned too dark but at least it sort of shows the frame.
This is another mini. It is a 5x7 acrylic on gessoboard and it is framed in a gold ornate frame. Another cute little one to sit on a small gold easel. It is $75.00 including S&H.

This is another mini. I am filling some frames that I had and did 3 yesterday. They are fun. This is a 4x5 acrylic on masonite and framed in a white washed driftwood frame. It is $65.00 including S&H. 
This is really a mini! It is a 4x4 acrylic on gessoed illustration board and it is nicely framed in a driftwood frame with a gold liner. It is $75.00 including S&H. 
This is what the Iris looks like matted. It is a linen textured matt with a gold liner. Just thought I would show you how it looks matted. This was my day's work.
This one is hot off the easel. It photographed a little dark though. It is a 7x17 acrylic and matted out to a 14x24. It is $175.00 including S&H

I see this so much at the lake. The fishermen get out early when autumn is approaching and the fog is coming up off of the water. That is dedication to catching those fish! This is a 10x14 acrylic, matted to 16x20 and ready to frame. It is $125.00 including S&H. SOLD 
I decided to do this one again, cutting my board longer so the bud vase could be taller. I also wanted to lighten the background. The image is an 8x20 acrylic and matted to 15x27 with linen textured matt with gold liner. This one is not for sale as it is SOLD.

This is what the magnolia blossoms look like matted, although the matt did not photograph off white. It shows a little darker than it should have. Gives you an idea what it looks like though.
I just completed this acrylic. It is 8x15 and I have matted it with an off white linen textured matt with a gold liner which makes it 14x21. Since it is on heavy board, it could be left unmatted and framed like an oil. It is $150.00 including S&H. 
This is a small acrylic painting of our local bandstand where we still have concerts three times a week during the summer months. I have painted this to donate to the church, along with some other paintings, for their silent auction and fish fry event. We have a beautiful park in our quaint little downtown. This painting is 6x8 with painted edges and sits on a silver decorative easel and of course, not for sale online. Just wanted to share it with you. Donated this one to my church's silent auction fundraiser. New owners, Bob and Nelda Coleman. 
Again, a little lake scene. This is my view when I look down toward the main channel of the lake. This is a small acrylic, 5x10, matted to 10x15, with an off white linen textured matt with a gold liner. It is ready to frame. It is $65.00 including S&H. Update! I have now framed this with a small gold frame so the price is $100.00. 
This scene I do over and over with just different colors. It is one of my favorite places, the Lake of the Ozarks and this is the view I see when I am there.

It is $300.00 including S&H. Donated this one to my church's silent auction fundraiser. New owners are David & Emma Lou Spencer.

This is a 6x8 oil on a wraparound canvas with the edges painted. It can be framed or left unframed and looks great sitting on a decorative easel. It is 85.00 including S&H. 
Back to my vegetable series. I did five of these small ones and the other larger one that I have already posted. I did these a little while back but am filling in with them when I don't get a new one ready. Again, these were from my son's garden. He keeps us supplied with garden goodies most all summer. Yummmmm! This is a 6x6 oil, painted on a wraparound canvas that is 1 1/2 inches deep. No need for framing. It is $75.00 including S&H. 
This is a small stream (or creek as we Missourians say). I photographed it at the beginning of fall. It is 6x8 oil and on a wraparound canvas so is a nice size to sit on a decorative easel or can be framed as it is 3/4" deep. It is $85.00 including S&H. I gave this to a newspaper reporter who wrote a very nice article about my art work in the paper in Stockton Mo (Cedar County Republican). I put it on a small silver easel as a "Thank You". 
This is a lovely river near Hermitage Missoui. It is a wonderful river to float on although I have never gotten to do that. It is an 8x10 oil on masonite and it is framed. It is $175.00, including S&H. 
This was a small experimental painting. It is a little watercolor, liquid acrylic and gesso splashed around on rice paper gessoed to illustration board. The image is about 7x11 and it is matted to 12x16 with a linen colored matt with a gold liner, ready to frame. It is $100.00 including S&H. 
This continues my vegetable series. Again, from my son's last summer garden. I photographed several of them and have painted several. He is a master gardener; I just hope I can do them justice. This is a 6x6 oil on a 1 1/2 deep wraparound canvas so no frame is needed. It is $75.00 including S&H. 
These peppers were grown by my son last summer. I painted a series of vegetables out of his garden. This one is an 8x10 oil, on a wraparound canvas, so there is no need for a frame. It could hang on a wall or sit on a decorative easel. It is $110.00 including S&H. 
This is another view of the beautiful lake area. I see so many different sunrises and so many fishermen out at dawn trying to catch their daily catch before the speedboats and skiers mess up the quiet waters. It is so peaceful and so tranquil. This one is especially colorful. It is a 10x20 oil and it is priced at $300.00 including S&H. 
I do so many pictures of the lake area because I love it so. I see the sunrises from my place and the moon rises. This is a small painting of the moon coming up under the watchful eye of the heron. This is a 6x8 oil on a wraparound canvas with the edges painted so it can set on an easel without a frame or it can be framed. It is $75.00 including S&H. SOLD New Owner, Jack Sportsman 
These are the colors of spring on the hill just back of my little lake cabin and it is about time for them again. The dogwood and the redbud are so vivid in the woods in early spring in Missouri. This is a 6x8 acrylic and is painted on a Raymar panel. It is $100.00 including S&H. 
This was a plein air painting, painted on a NOAPS painting trip to Cottonwood Falls, KS, with my painting friends. Such fun! I stood on an old abandoned bridge and viewed this scene and painted it in the warm October sunshine. It is a 10x10 acrylic. It is painted on a 1 1/2 inch wraparound canvas so needs no frame. Another nice easel painting or can be hung on the wall. It is $250.00 including S&H.

In the springtime in Missouri, we have the beautiful dogwood trees that bloom. These just happen to be beautifying the quiet little stream. This is an 8x10 oil on masonite. It looks fantastic in a wide white frame. $200.00, including S&H.

This is my granddaughter's prize possession. Her name is Roxy Belle and she is much loved. She is named after me, as my middle name is Belle. The painting is an 8x10 on a wraparound canvas and of course, is not for sale. 
This is a small snowscene in the Lake of the Ozark area in Missouri. I did this on a 5x7 wraparound canvas with all edges painted so there is no need for a frame. Great for displaying on a small easel. I painted several of these before I was sick of all this snow. The price is $100.00 including S&H. 
SOLD: Dogwood Festival, Lake of the Ozarks

This is a very small painting, only 3x4. It is the road that leads me away from my lake retreat. It is on
