8 X 8 Oil on Canvas.

This painting was wiped clean twice before the paints and I came to an agreement. I do like the softness and sort of duo color of this painting.

Three Is Better Than Two

Its been long time!

16" X 12" Oil on Canvas

Three trees that have been calling me to paint them for a couple of years! This past fall they had a great show with their leaves and I finally got the time to paint them!

Sunflower II (Farmer's Market)

I just wasn't satisfied. I just felt it wasn't done and it wasn't my vision yet. After looking at it for a while and getting some great advice from my good friend and fellow artist, Barb, I decided to revisit the "Farmer's Market". I feel so much better now.

I reworked the top right corner of the background and added some large leaves in front. I also added more detail to the sunflowers.

I know I was trying not to add to much detail and wanted to focus on color and values, but I just felt they really needed more work.
Its not a major change but I think enough to make the painting complete in my eyes. Below are some close ups of the painting

This painting will be available for sale on ebay soon!

I am leaving the old images below on the this blog, because everything we do is a learning experience. If someone can learn or take away something useful from my own learning experience (or mistakes) then I am a happy person and nothing is wasted!

Cheers! Bev

10 X 8 oil on masonite

Ok, this one was already painted in my head when I looked out the window and saw Doug cutting the lawn. It's a job and it has to be done. It's like laundry, it never goes away and we just can't get to excited about doing it! LOL! Doug by the way was not real enthused having me do a painting of him cutting the grass! I on the other hand, thought it was priceless! Hee! Hee!

Two Of A Kind

"Two Of A Kind" 8" X 7" Oil on Canvas
I have been inspired lately by oils. This is my first oil study in over 25 years! I really do miss them. Now that I have my studio with exhaust fans and great ventilation, I plan on painting in oils again. I need to get used to them, since they are quite different than acrylics.
