Cherry Tomato Basket Oil Painting Vegetable Still Life Fall Garden

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

I gathered some of the last of my neighbors' cherry tomatoes in one of my little baskets.  They just needed the right lighting to show themselves gathered together after they were picked.  The basket's shadow made a lovely pattern on the table.

Grey Pony Oil Painting Welsh Pet Art Western Horse Ride Saddle

Oil on Canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

I admired the lovely markings and friendly face of this pony who was doing her duty giving kids a ride at a festival. She was decked out in a bright purple halter, lead rope and saddle blanket. She also had some blonde and rusty shades mixed in with the grey hairs of her thick mane which I tried to capture faithfully. I guess just because I found them attractive!

The 3/4" sides are painted so framing is optional!

Cherries and Light Oil Still Life Painting Organic Fruit Kitchen Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8"

I used only a few ingredients in making this painting - bright sunlight, a white bowl and a few cherries.  The shapes of the cherries' shadows became another visual ingredient to be enjoyed too.  The dark red cherries glow a brighter red in the light and colors bounce around in the mix with the bowl.  I like to bake tasty things, but painting the ingredients is more fun and rewarding.  And the result lasts longer.

Pug Shrug Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portrait

Oil on canvas, 8" x 6".

I've painted my pug, Mabel many times over the last fifteen years and she always has great expressions.  This painting was done from a photo of her being held by a child and she's looking at the camera like a good model.  I painted only her and she looks like she's shrugging with one shoulder with her fat rolls pushed up to one side. Her expression was either one of great enthusiasm or great superiority I thought!

Calla Bloom Oil Painting Lilly Still Life Flower Art Botanical Garden

Oil on hardboard panel, 11" x 9"

I'll have to admit that I was inspired to paint a Calla Lilly again after I saw a friend's entry to one of our local art center's annual competitions.  My Calla is different as far as the color of  bloom and background and also hers is a large watercolor and mine is a smaller, intimate oil.  I saw the fun (in my mind) of painting a tall white bloom against a dark background.  Colors bounce around in the light and create interest among the white tones.  The Calla Lilly stalks are sturdy and their blooms display intricate, sensual forms. They always make great subjects to experiment with and learn from .  So, thanks, Jeanette, for reminding me of these beauties!

Apple Line-up Oil Painting Still Life Fruit Art Apple Kitchen

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 16"

The apples seem to take on their own unique characters when posed this way and viewed from slightly below.  They can be looked at as actors on a stage or groups involved in conversations if I use my imagination.  I had initially planned to keep the work looser and casual, but paintings sometimes seem to take on their own energy and purpose as many artists have found.  I am satisfied with the apples' finished "characters" in this piece.  That's always a good feeling.

Lovely Whippet Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Animal Portrait

Oil on canvas, 8" x 6" x 3/4"

Whippets are graceful looking dogs, of course, but I also really enjoy their patterns of coloring.  The subtle change of color dividing this one's face is so appealing.  The dog is mostly a wonderful creamy-white tone which contrasts with its large dark eyes and nose.  Whippets are also very expressive creatures with just a tilt of their heads or a downturn of their muzzles.

Tulips Waving Watercolor Painting Flower Art Still Life Garden

Watercolor on stretched canvas, 12" x 12" x 3/4".

I experimented with a different approach to a watercolor in this floral painting.  The canvas I used has a special sizing that accept watercolors and the finished painting is sealed with a clear acrylic protectant which is archival.  The surface of the canvas accepts the paint differently than paper.  I think I like the way it stays more on the surface of the painting and it's also much easier to "lift" the paint back to a lighter shade or even back to white.  I really appreciate the fluidity of watercolors, and in this painting, I had a great time shaping the tulips and leaves with a feeling of energy and movement.

Thanks for visiting and your comments are welcome!
