Single Iris 6"x6" oil on gessobord

The Iris shape is so classic.   I think the symbol Fleur-de-lis is a stylized version.   And the symbol for Louisville Kentucky is the Fleur de lis

I had this little bowl and put a green apple in it and then thought it needed something else like a red apple.   I just happened to have one.

"The Chanel Sisters" 6"x6" oil on canvas

Sold

At first I thought this was going to be simple but it took twice as long to do.   Some of you know my process but for those that don't, here it is.   First, I take about 10 minutes and sketch in the composition with a medium grey paint.   When I paint these daily paintings I try to make my first stroke of paint my last.  In other words, I try to lay down the correct color/value of paint on each paint stroke so I don't have to go over it again and adjust.   It makes coming up with the correct color/value the challenge.   Usually this can shorten the amount of time spent but not today.

"Holly would, but..." 6"x6" oil painting

Sold

Sometimes simple is better.  I had a ribbon to put in this set up but it just did not look right, too contrived.

So I replaced the ribbon with this simple bowl and the composition worked much better in my humble opinion.   I have a new schedule for my upcoming classes.  If you would like to be on my email class list and get the information emailed to you please contact me and let me know.   Please feel free to go to my website for the Class Information.

"Cut it out!" 6"x6" oil

Click to purchase.  $100

While I have the ribbons out I had better do another one,  You know the challenge of doing daily paintings is choosing a subject every day that will challenge and satisfy the muse in me.   I like fabric so I like ribbons.

Separated at birth 5"x7" oil painting

Sold

The last two days have been so busy I haven't been able to paint.  Saturday I had an open house and I want to thank everyone who came.   Thank you for making it a fabulous day!   Sunday was hectic with obligations and chores.   I want you to know that Whirly Girl (my little Shih Tzu) does not do any chores around the house so I end up doing them all including hers!   There was snow on the ground this morning.   I think winter is here.

Mother's little helper 5"x7", oil painting

Sold

I love my scissors.  I have a pair in every room of the house.  These are my largest pair of paper scissor, 14" long and my smallest sewing pair, 3.75" long.   I will have to do more paintings of  the other pairs.   I don't paint with a formula, I paint what I see.   The silver of the large pair was reflecting some blue that wan behind it.  The gold was made up of warm yellow and brown + cool yellow(greenish) and white.

Thread, such a small thin little thing until you wind thousands of yards on a spool and get this wonderful mass of color.

Watching the UFO

Sold

The UFO has them under a spell and they can't take their beady little heads off of it.  Sometime tomorrow it will wear off and they will have lost 24 hours of their shiny little lives.  Life as they know it will never be the same.    Poor things.

Where did everyone go? 5x7,8/13/09

SOLD

I painted this on 8/13 put it in the computer and forgot to post it. I only have a few more cherries left. Have to paint them before I eat them all first. One of my favorite color combinations is blue/white.

June Taylor Cherries, 6x6, 7/27/09

SOLD

These are very talented cherries.  This was only one routine out of many they could perform.  This was the most relaxing for them, so they could hold it the longest.
