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!

Lemon Eclair Sunflower Oil Painting Flower Still Life Botanical Floral Garden

Oil on hardboard panel, 6" x 7".

This variety of sunflower, named "Lemon Eclair", is definitely different from the traditional sunflower that I usually paint and so it was a challenge and some fun at the same time.

Surprised Teddy Love Bear Oil Painting Childrens Christmas Toy Present Gift Art

Oil on canvas, 9" x 7".

This little Luv Bear was a Christmas gift from a few years ago and I was inspired to paint him in one of the many different personalities that I see in him.  Here he has his surprised or startled expression that I find very endearing.  He's kind of a cool guy actually.  The fact that he is extremely squeezable doesn't hurt either!  Along with capturing his expression, I was excited about painting his furry body and red sweater falling into shadow.

Tabby Maine Coon Oil Painting Cat Art Animal Pet Portrait Wild Feline

Oil on canvas, 8" x 6".

I so enjoy painting "wild- looking" felines like Maine Coon cats.  They might be wild in appearance but they are actually very personable and gentle.  We have been feeding and giving shelter to a stray cat who has many of these same features as the one in my painting but without the long hair.  She has shown her thankfulness by bringing us two gophers. She's earning her keep!

Bathed in Sunlight Oil Painting Pet Art Manx Cat

Oil on hardboard, 7" x 6".

I've photographed this orange Manx cat several times and this pose had her bathed in bright sunlight with most of her face in shadows. This allowed for interesting cooler tones appearing in the white nose and fur. I don't know if I really achieved what I had envisioned capturing in the painting, but there is something there I like and which captures my imagination. A little mystery in a portrait is fun.

Pumpkin Gourd Oil Painting Still Life Art Ornamental Fall Garden Autumn

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I usually buy a sack of miniature, mulit-colored gourds for painting inspiration in the fall.  This time I chose a solid orange one to paint.  I guess you'd call it a dimply, pimply, pumpkin gourd.  (I think gourds are in the pumpkin family but they're not good for eating).  This little orange guy had interesting protrusions to play with in paint.  I like to paint subjects in a light that produces a shadow that includes complimentary colors along with the color of the object that I'm painting.
