Single Magnolia Blossom

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.

Colorado Stream III Estes Park

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.

Colorado Stream # 1

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.

Woodland scene in Fall

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.

Fall Scene

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.

Tony's Bird Dog

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.

Sunflowers & Mountaiins, Salida Co

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.

River Stream, Salida Co #2

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.

River Stream, Salida Co #1

Lake at Frisco Co #2

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.
