Egg on White

5"x7"
sold
Just realized I should've painted a pumpkin or something like that.... but I'm enjoying this little egg so much I don't care. I LOVE how doing daily paintings encourages me to experiment with composition and color like this!

Garlic and Reflection

5"x7"
sold
I had so much fun with this one! I think a wash of Van Dyke Brown might be one of my new favorite things- I tried it with Gentleman Rat and thought I'd bring it over to the daily painting realm with this one :)
Wonder if a PAINTING of garlic would ward off vampires? What do you think? lol....

Egg Reflection

5"x7"
sold
Another egg! Actually, I take that back- it's the same egg. The same reference photo of the same egg, even. Just with a very different crop- for some reason I wanted to paint just the relfection :)

Also, for all of you affected by Sandy- stay safe, and stay warm. Hugs to all of you.

I know, it has been forever since I painted an egg! And wow, 32 of them.... seems excessive, doesn't it? But they're still loads of fun :)

I haven't set the brush to canvas a single time today, because this little girl had her birthday party! I can't believe she's three already.... time flies by so fast....

Something for Whimsical Women again :) Isn't he a trip? I love doing these anthropomorphic animals! And it makes me so happy that I just got a TON of canvases in the mail so I can get all these ideas out into reality!

Yep, you've seen this one before.... my new canvases just got in today, hopefully there will be new stuff soon :)
But look! Pretty shiny thing! And there's more inclusions in the glass, and more detail in the shadow and the highlight....

Cherry and Reflection

4"x4"
click here to purchase
If you're thinking that this one looks familiar... well, you're right! I ran out of daily-sized canvases last weekend, which explains why I've been working on paper, and now I'm going back into finished dailies and adding details and punching up colors and such :)
Not to worry, more canvases should be arriving soon! Gas is just too stinking expensive to drive out to Raleigh, but Jerry's had a free shipping deal this weekend :D

I decided to revisit this little painting, just to punch up the colors and add some fun little details.... shiny things are so much fun to paint :)
Now I've got to run, because the Tiny Human is suddenly very very fussy. Hope you're all having a wonderful night!

Magnolia on Blue

You might remember this one, from May when I went up for the Old Louisville Springfest... looking forward to doing it again, for sure.... well, I did a bit of polishing and reworking, and thought I would share again, even though it is abysmally seasonally inappropriate. Bring a little summertime up in here :)

Crunchy Roll

4"x6"
sold
This is a reworking of a daily from a little while back... I did it all rough edged and "sketchy" at first, but apparently I like that look more than you wonderful collectors do :) So now it looks all nice and finished, and of course has just a bit more detail and light in it.

Clearing Rain

I was driving back from Benjamin's Vineyard after picking grapes, and saw these extraordinary, magical looking creatures in a field... pulled over, and the rain stopped just long enough for me to go traipsing around the cow pasture in my flip flops taking pictures :)
