Oil Floral of Red Poppies, Cornflowers and Peaches, 16" x 20"

"Peaches and Poppies"
SOLD



Spring has finally come to the Olympic Peninsula and Poppies are everywhere. These delightful and colorful flowers always lift my spirits and brighten the room.
This painting is on a gallery wrap canvas with the sides carefully painted. So you can just hang it as is or frame it. It's a standard 16" x 20" so it will fit a standard frame. Hanging wire is provided.

Oil Floral of Lilacs, Chrysanthemums,Iris and Lilies, 16" x 20"

"Loving Lilacs"
SOLD


This 16" x 20" oil of Lilacs, Lilies and Chrysanthemums (and one Iris) is larger than my usual size of 9" x 12". It's painted on canvas which is stapled on the back so you can just hang it without a frame - or frame it if you like. Hanging hardware is included.
I enjoy painting larger pieces and so took a little extra time with this one. The flowers have lots of generous paint and the ginger jar just glows. A pretty painting for spring.

Floral Oil Painting of Yellow Irises, 9" x 12"

"Dancing Irises"
SOLD



A recent long distance conversation with a friend reminded me that Iris festivals are springing up all over the country. One of my favorite flowers to paint. Today was gorgeous - sunny and warm(ish) so after a quick trip to the market, I pulled out my brushes and here you go. I'd like to paint these as a triptych in three long panels. What do you think?

This old soup tureen was my mother's. It adorns our dining room table. Today I was in a bit of a funk and didn't have a clue what I would paint. Well my mother must have whispered in my ear because look what I did! The cabbage roses worked beautifully with the tureen. Lots of thick paint on those roses and the color is lovely and rich. I almost called it "Cabbage Soup."

Floral Oil Painting of Red Poppies and Green Pears, 9" x 12"

"Poppies and Pears"
SOLD







This 9" x 12" oil of Poppies and Pears was inspired, believe it or not, by the pears from my last piece. They were so beautiful and shapely that I had to find another composition to include them in! So I grouped them with Poppies. The red of the flowers against the green complimentary pears makes for a striking composition. The flowers have generous paint on them and the pears, red grapes and yellow lemon make the painting complete.

Oil Painting of Pears and Grapes, 9" x 12"

"Pears and Grapes"
SOLD






This 9" x 12" Oil Painting of Pears and Red Grapes started as a small study for a larger painting. But it came out so well, I decided to list here on Ebay. The colors on the grapes as well as the pears is beautiful. I especially like the way the transparent nature of the grapes is displayed. They glow. There's generous paint here too. See the detail below.



Floral Oil Painting of Lillies and Pears, 9" x 12"

"Lillies Today"
SOLD





This 9" x 12" oil of Lillies was, as the title states, painted today. Considering I have two cats and Lillies are not safe for them, I had quite a time keeping them away from the still life set up. Of course, if Lillies were healthy for cats, there would have been no problem. They would have taken a nap.
I love painting white flowers and these beauties shimmered in the natural light from my skylight today. I found three nearly perfect pears to go with them. As always, the paint on the blooms is generous. The pears pop off the surface and look good enough to eat. Hmm. Maybe that's what the cats were after.



Floral Oil Painting of Orchids and Apples, "11 x 14"

"Delicate Beauty"
SOLD




Orchids have a certain delicate beauty. I especially like the white ones because of the way they catch the light and shimmer. In this piece I tried to capture not just the light but the delicate color in the shadows as well. The heavy orange-red cloth helps to set off the blossoms and color of the apples. There is a generous paint layer on the flowers as well as apples which can be seen in the detail below.
