New Pear Painting! Green and Red Pears

Green and Red Pears

6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This new painting is available for purchase at my website www.torriesmiley.com or just click the link above.

The weekend is almost here! I love weekends--lots of painting to do. I do have to go to Charlotte to pick up canvas on Saturday. I have a commission that requires a special canvas.

I will be starting a landscape this weekend. It will be posted by Monday if I like it.

I am in the mood to paint something different.....a departure from what I usually do, I just haven't decided what it is yet. Among the possibilities...portraits, horses....cows....you can tell I am getting homesick for Texas when I start painting western art.

Etsy meeting in Gastonia on Saturday! I can't wait! Panera Bread and lots of fun!

Well, better go for now.

New Watercolor Series

Low Country One

eBay store auction:
http://stores.ebay.com/Torrie-Smiley-Original-Works-of-Art

So many ideas, so little time. This is the first of what will be a series of small watercolors. They will all be 5" x 7" of varying watercolor papers from 140 - 300 lb, both hot and cold press. I will be painting my favorite things in watercolor which will include: A variety of landscapes, but quite a few of the low country of South Carolina. I will also be doing pears, martinis, and wine art and possibly throw in a few cowboys. These will all be listed on eBay for auction starting at 99 cents as soon as they are finished.

I will be painting larger works using acrylic on canvas as always with a few small oil paintings in between.


Remember, auction paintings are listed on eBay only. Paintings in my eBay store are also sold in my Etsy.com store, so if you are watching a painting in my eBay store and it disappears, it was probably sold at other websites or in the local gallery here in Shelby.
