On Point #1

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.

On Point #2

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.

Colorado Stream 9x12

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.

Red & PInk Roses #1

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.

Red & Pink Roses

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.

Leo

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.

Bandstand from the Hill 24x36

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.

White Iris in watercolor

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.

Bandstand from the Hill

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.

Bandstand in ElDo 2008

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.

Bandstand in Spring '08

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.

Santa Fe Garden #II

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

The Orange Tree

This is a small 8x10 oil on a wrap-a-round canvas and I just sold it at the Dogwood Festival in Camdenton, Mo.
Sold

Purple and White Iris

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.

Dana's Iris

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

Colorado near Pueblo

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.

Lab with Duck

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.
