Golden Pear with Red Grapes

6" x  6"

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

After painting the detail in the wine glass painting, I was in the mood to loosen things up a bit.  It was fun to swirl the paint and play with the background.

Golden Pear with Red Grapes was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. 

This painting has sold.

Acrylic on Ampersand Gessobord

~Collection of the Artist~

I haven't painted glass in a while.  I love how this one turned out!

Red Wine and Red Grapes 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.

After looking at this painting for a while, I decided I couldn't part with it.  It is now framed and will be living with me~

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer~  It seems to by flying by.  As usual, so much to do and so little time~  Back to painting!

This is my entry in the Daily Paintworks "The Gift Challenge II" . You were to paint a gift that you were given. Well, I am one of "those" people that collects Pink Flamingos. My family and friends have been adding to my collection giving me pink flamingos for special occasions and bringing me flamingos when they travel. This is a painting of my two favorite things~ a Pink Flamingo (a wine bottle stopper) and Diet Coke.

Mi Flamingo was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. 

This painting has sold.

This has been a busy weekend~ but not very successful painting.  I tried a boat painting.  Major fail!  I will be working on something else tomorrow...maybe a pear!

Porch

Porch

5" x  7"

Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Textured Claybord

~Sold~

This is my entry in the DailyPaintworks Cropping Challenge. I focused on the Victorian porch with the wicker chair and hanging baskets. I enjoyed this porch painting and will have to do more. 

After working so hard on the painting, I asked Kevin what to name it, (I should have known better). He mumbled something about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam and played some awful song.......so, this painting will be called "Porch" after the Pearl Jam song, for Kevin.

This painting is currently available for purchase using the PayPalButton above for $40.00, plus $8.00 United States Priority shipping. You can also purchase from my Website gallery or my Etsy.com store.

I have been working on a portrait of my granddaughter ~ might better get that finished before she gets any older.  I have a commission for a new tornado painting, and I still need to get busy on my new teacup painting.  

I am thinking of painting my flamingos for the new Challenge at DailyPaintworks.com.  There is so much to do and so little time!

Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Claybord

You can always tell when I get a bit homesick...I paint my memories of Texas.  I don't often paint landscapes and I started off disappointed with this one.  After encouragement from Kevin and a bit of reworking, it is now my favorite.   

This painting was selected as Facebook "Pick of the Day" by DailyPaintworks.com on Facebook.

This painting has sold.


I am in the middle of finishing my porch painting for the DailyPaintworks challenge.  After that...maybe I will finally finish my Rooster painting from last year or the portrait of Miss Audrey.

You can see the difference in the two surfaces.  I can create a smoother more detailed painting using the claybord and gessobord surfaces.  I am currently working with the textured gessobord and it gives me a bit of both worlds....the texture you get to grab paint yet still a fairly smooth surface for detail.  

Well, so much for my support experiment.  I will be posting my new landscape tomorrow.  It is on the smooth claybord surface.
