Sand and Surf, Palette KnifePainting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 12x12" Oil Painting on canvas, SOLD
Give a child a beach and a shovel, and he (or she) will have lots of fun and hopefully show their creative side.
This is a friend's little son, several years ago. When I saw the image, I knew I wanted to paint it, but as so often happens, it was pushed aside and didn't happen for several years.

A Safe Place, Abstract Painting,Palette Knife Painting, Church Painting, Small Oil Painting, daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel, SOLD
I have been dabbling with abstracts for some time, and now have started to add some structures to the mix.
I am always attracted to old churches, and this one is rather special. It is a local landmark in our town. I worked right next door for twenty plus years, so I saw it every day. Now, it also serves as a cold weather shelter for the homeless.

Mooooo, Oil Painting of Cow, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting,
A client wanted a cow painting, for licensing purposes. I usually do daily painting of still life or landscape, but I have to admit I enjoyed both the horse, they originally chose, and this cow painting.
I painted on Senso linen canvas. I had a pad of the linen around for several years but didn't really know what to do with it. I found it had a different texture than the cotton canvas I usually paint on, but once I got into the painting, it was fine.
My next problem was what to do with this unstretched painting. After surveying several friends, I mounted it on a cradled wood panel. I was told the perfect glue to use is YES GLUE available at craft stores. I had some in my stash and I have to say it worked like a charm. Then I trimmed the edges with a exacto knife and it turned out perfectly. Now I can use the rest of my Senso linen canvas with no fear!
So, today I stretched my limits, both with the Senso canvas and the cow painting, and luckily both worked out for me!
This is a re-post, and the cow has been sold. However, if you are interested, giclee prints are available on canvas and wood planks, in the size of your choice. Contact me for pricing.

Abstract Painting, Four Seasons Series - Winter, Small Abstract Oil Paintings, 4x12x.75" Oil on Canvas, SOLD
This is the final installment of my Four Seasons Series, Winter.
With each painting, I tried to capture the feeling, of the season of the year, using only color. It was a fun project to do.
This is not a good picture of "Winter" The actual painting has much more color variation and saturation. Try as I might, I could not get a better image.
Thanks for viewing my art today!

Small Landscape Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil
Did you ever have that feeling, that you just want to get away? Away from the hustle and bustle of life, the job, the town, .......just everything?
This little painting, is my idea of that perfect get away. It's on a quiet mountain road, snuggled up under the trees, but not so far from civilization that I would not want to be there alone. In other words.....PERFECT!
I have not added this piece to my Etsy site yet, so feel free to contact me here, if you are interested in purchasing.
Have a wonderful day!

Sunflower painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 14x18x.75" Oil SOLD
Last summer I visited Colorado and fell in love with the state. The beauty is breath taking and I was trying to record it all on my camera.
On a whim, I decided to paint over an old abstract painting, that carried lots of texture in specific areas.
That set the tone of the painting for me. I stayed loose and free.

Today's painting is a light hearted, laid back attempt to capture the wild sunflowers swaying in the breeze of the Colorado landscape.

Much of the background is from the original painting.
I have a friend who burns her unsuccesful paintings at the end of the year. I think that is a dangerous activity. The fumes of the paint and mediums burning cannot be a good thing. I much prefer to paint over a less successful painting and save a few dollars by reusing the canvas. I am all about recycling.
Happy Painting!!

Abstract Landscape Painting, Textured Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 10x10x3" Oil SOLD
I found some square 3 inch deep canvases in my studio, and decided to play around with one.
 |
| SOLD
I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Seascape Painting, 12x12x1.5" Oil
I am still in a seascape frame of mind.
This is worked with a palette knife. I enjoy lots of texture, so I left it on this piece. Maybe it is more of a skyscape? Maybe it is more abstract or impressionistic? Whatever it is, it reflects my mood at the time, which I think, is the point of painting.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Expressionist Abstract Painting, Imagine Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, SOLD, 8x10 Oil Painting
Our paint group, Pieces of Eight, decided to spice up our lives a little bit, by issuing an art challenge each month. This month, the theme is "Imagine"
 |
I could not get the great John Lennon's song "Imagine" out of my mind! If fact, as I write this, I am humming the song. So, this is my interpretation. Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Check out Pieces of Eight blog and view the other entries in our challenge.
Have a great day!

Abstract Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Textured Art, SOLD
This small seascape is a study for a much larger piece. The only question in my mind is "How large?"
I am very happy with the understated color which makes the brighter hues really pop. I am not sure if it would be call an abstract or impressionistic.......what do you think?
What I do know, I really enjoyed painting it and want to try it again and go BIG!
