"View From the Top" ~ 6" X 8" SOLD

I think I'm getting a little better grasp of painting.

In fact I'm a lot more comfortable using a brush

now and I'm enjoying it more. This one is painted

on a gessoed Raymar panel which, by the way,

is the only thing I paint on now.

"Shall We Dance" ~ SOLD

I decided to have some fun so I painted a series
of cherries that I'm calling "Cherry Expressions".
Most of them will have a title that came from the song
Sway written by Michael Buble. This is the first in the
series. I call it "Shall We Dance".

The shadows in this piece are very colorful and the
cherries bright and red however the background is
more of an eggshell rather than light blue or gray as
it may appear on your monitor.

"Through the Fence" ~ SOLD

When I saw the glow from the sunlight as it

dappled our cedar fence I knew I had to paint

this flower.

"Red Pepper With Water Drops" ~ SOLD

I had no idea water drops could be so difficult,
with a pencil, no problem, with a brush....well let's
just say it took longer than I expected.

"You Take My Breath Away" ~ SOLD

I titled this one "You Take My Breath Away"

because that's the way I feel every time I look

at it. When I finished this one I felt very

satisfied. The stress was gone and I knew, at last,

that I was getting paint to do what I wanted.

Oh yes, this is the second posting. I didn't want

to lose the comments from the first post. I really

shouldn't have put the paintings on the blog

before I was ready to sell them but I was anxious

to show what I'd done. From now on I won't post

them until they are listed on Ebay. Thanks for

looking!

"Red, Green & Gold..." ~ SOLD

"Blue & Gold" ~ SOLD

This really is a lovely little painting. The white on

the ginger jar almost has a transparent look as well

as a blueish tint that reminds me of fine china.

And the gold has just the right amount of sparkle.

I must say, I am very pleased with how this painting

turned out.
