New Orleans Streetcar

Title: New Orleans Streetcar

Size: 20 x 24

Medium: Oil on stretched canvas

Going on auction tonight!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I love this streetcar so decided to paint it one more time, for the love of New Orleans and all my Louisiana collectors! This one glows with lots of thick golden oils. Used mostly palette knife on this painting so it is very rich and textural with lots of beautiful broken color. Makes quite a statement in any room. Hope you enjoy and have a great Friday!

Red Pods and Poppies

Title: Red Pods and Poppies

Size: 16 x 20

Medium: Oil on stretched canvas

See auction or contact me for purchase

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I can't seem to control myself when I paint sometimes. I just love painting these crazy poppies. They seem to take on a life of their own and sometimes I like to add some extra texture with fancy, textured bits of wonderful papers that are shredded into appropriate shapes and adhered with medium and sealed with varnish. They make the pods seem to explode! Lots of wonderful winsor newton artists oils are thickly painted onto the canvas with a palette knife and I also used a brush just a bit. Hope you enjoy!

Field of Wild Poppies

Title: Field of Wild Poppies

Size: ACEO ....teeny tiny

Medium: oil on canvas paper

This tiny little painting is an ACEO which stands for art card edition original and is the size of a standard baseball card! I've only painted a few of these and every so often will be in the mood to paint another. These will go directly into my store. I don't think I will auction them very often, but they are there for you to look at and purchase for around $30.

I painted it because I love to challenge myself and never want to feel confined to paint one genre or even one size! Hope you enjoy!

Lake Como Morning Light

Donated for Auction : American Cancer Society

Framed 16 x 20

Oil/canvas

This painting was a recent donation. I love to donate to great causes and give about 8 paintings a year to charities hoping to raise money for various causes. I love to paint and feel so blessed to be able to help. This one raised quite a bit of cash for the fight against cancer so I was very pleased!

Provence Sunflowers

Title: Provence Sunflowers

Size: 16 x 20

Medium: Oil on stretched canvas

ABOUT THE PAINTING:

Contact me for purchase info or see auction.

It's been so very very cold here that I really felt like painting some sunshine and it doesn't get any warmer than sunflowers with their faces up to the warm, blue sky in Provence. This painting has many, many layers of rich oils. Each petal has at least 3 colors of gold and every inch of this painting has interesting texture and color. Hope you enjoy and it warms you up a bit!

Times Square Reflections

New gallery opening reception last night!

PACKED WITH ART COLLECTORS!

I was very excited with the turn out and warm welcome the Arlington Artists Alliance and I received at our new gallery opening reception last night! It was lots of fun to see so many of my collectors there, and the gallery looked awsome!

I had a wonderful time meeting everyone and thank you so much for your continuous support and interest in my oil paintings. I'll be replacing all the art that sold, and put new art up at least twice a month so keep checking in!

MY NEWEST PAINTING JUST COMPLETED!

Title: Times Square Reflection

Size: 20 x 24
Medium: Oil on stretched canvas

See auction tonight!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I wanted this to be a striking night painting so I layed the paint thick and bright! Bold deep prussian blues, under thick strokes of cadmium reds and yellows makes this painting unique and very New York. I feel the rush and energy of Times Square when I paint this scene, and hope you enjoy it!

Moonlight Fishing

SOLD
Title: Moonlight Fishing
Size: 12 x 16
Medium: Oil on linen

Sold.....contact me for similiar painting

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

This painting just glows and looks fantastic in the dark gold ornate frame in my store. I have had this one for awhile just because I didn't want to part with it, but I'm ready to let someone else enjoy it. Every once in awhile I paint on linen instead of canvas. It's much more expensive but withen painting a subtle, soft painting, with lots of brushwork, nothing feels better than linen. It's just a luxery to paint on, and I used some nice greys and warm greens and blues to give this painting a sense of serentity and calm. Hope you enjoy.
