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.
