Lemons with Hydrangea

 

Lemons with Hydrangea

6" x  6"

Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Gessobord

~Sold~

So I grabbed the two lemons out of the fridge and told Kevin he could do without them for a couple of days.  The vase is really a soap dispenser, the top broke and I almost threw it away....until I stuck a flower in it~  and it became a painting!

Lemons with Hydrangea was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on Ampersand Gessobord. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish. This painting can be slipped into a frame or placed on a small easel.

Now off to paint a pear...maybe then a rooster!

Thanks for stopping by~

I am running late on today's post~

Red Apple and Two Lemons was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality Ampersand Claybord. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish. I have started using mostly boards for my small paintings. I love the smooth surface of the boards and they are so easy to slip into frames.

This painting is currently available for purchase in my Etsy.com store.

Thursday's painting ~ something a bit different. I have finished the boat painting. Check back again tomorrow night!

Daisies and Lemons ~ New small painting

Daisies and Lemons

6" x 6"
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

After unloading everything from my daughter's baby shower in October 2009, I had a few centerpieces at the house. I put one on the table added a few lemons and took reference photos thinking that needs to be a painting someday......someday finally got here and I painted a small still life of the flowers from her shower. Yes, the baby is here and she is beautiful and 7 months old. Yes, I am finally getting caught up and painting new and different things~

Daisies and Lemons was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped museum quality canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

This painting has sold. To see paintings currently available for purchase, please visit my website gallery or my Etsy.com store.

Coming up~

I am so excited to be included in the EBSQ artists who blog~ the interview will be coming out next week and I will post a link then.

It is time for the Ripped Off show at EBSQart.com. I have agreed to participate with three artists this year (what was I thinking!) I had better get busy~ I will post the paintings as they are finished along with link to the various artists websites.

Yes, I am still working on the martini painting...I have come to the un-fun part, and I guess that could be why it is sitting in the corner half finished.......staring at me with that "you don't love me" glare. All that is left to do is the detail of the glass-- may this week.

Well, I had better get busy, there is much to paint and so little time~

Thank you for stopping by~

Painting today. I am getting paintings ready for upcoming painting challenges. I am working on a still life painting of three oranges against a dark background. In the reference photo, the background appears to be black. I am going to mix a bunch of colors and make my own black instead of using a flat black color. Hopefully this will add depth and interest to the background of the painting. Hopefully, I will have it finished and posted by tomorrow evening. Here is the link to this months' challenge http://www.rookiepainter.blogspot.com/ Wish me luck!

Well, off to mix paint~

I am still painting lemons. Lemons and Red Bowl is continuing to paint my bag of lemons with my new bowls I received for Christmas. Lemons and Blue Bowl has already found a home in Virgina. I am currently working on my Flow Blue teapot with lemons. It should be completed by the end of the week.

I am finishing up Christmas portraits and then I will be working on larger paintings because I am currently out of 8 x 10 canvas. I will have to make a trip to Cheap Joe's in Charlotte soon.
