Daffodils With Phlox

Oil Painting Still Life Art Jonquils Narcissus Flowers Vase

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

No, it's not spring where I live here in Arkansas but I have been thinking about it.  I found some photos I took of spring daffodils and phlox in a clear vase several years ago.  The flowers were backlit from a nearby window and I was excited by their glowing shapes.  I had fun with this one.  But I don't know what happened to that vase because I can't find it now!

Koi in Pool

Oil Painting Fish Animal Semi-Abstract Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 9" x 11"

Koi fish are converging into a single group in this painting.  I wanted to convey the energy of their forms as they slid through the water and created waves and ripples.  I used a palette knife in much of the painting and strived to keep a loose and abstract feel to the piece.  The colors are joyful and bring a smile!

Hattie Loves Scarfs

Commissioned Oil Painting Dog Pet Art Chihuahua


Oil on hardboard. 8" x 6".

Hattie was another fun commissioned painting and she was looking right at home among her many scarfs!  She obviously has great presence and dignity.  Who wouldn't want to spoil her?  I enjoyed painting her expressive face and soulful eyes.

Movin' On

Oil Painting Farm Animal Art Rooster Portrait Bird

Red Buds in Vase

Oil Painting Still Life Art Flowers

Oil on canvas, 12" x 9".

I had fun using my tall white pitcher as a vase for these red and cream-colored roses.  I love the white porcelain's ability to reflect and soften the surrounding color tones.
