Ohio Field at Dusk

Sold
6"x6" Oil on Panel

This is a typical view of the land in Ohio at dusk. Flat or rolling fields with a few trees along the field lines. This is the magic hour when pinks permeate the sky and slip into the land.

6"x6" Oil on Panel

This was my first published Daily Painting, although not the first Daily Painting that I have painted. This is certainly an interesting project. The plan is to create 100 paintings by the end of February. Wish me good luck. I still have my day job.

I am re-posting this painting because I am offering it for sale on eBay.

Christmas Oreos

6" x 6" Oil on Panel

Sold

I like Oreos. Actually these are Trader Joe's peppermint version and they are good. I used to keep a box of Oreos and Diet Coke on hand in the studio - for emergencies, when paintings go bad. Well, I have dumped that practice, but I did eat some models before this painting was completed.

As I was finishing up this painting, I wondered if I will ever be a realist, probably not, but that is okay. I am just trying to do 100 daily paintings, so I can be a better painter. This is numer 29. No, I won't show you all of them!

Ava

I attend a Monday night painting session, and this is yesterday's painting, Ava. I am pleased with the outcome, although...

But to quote my husband, "Perfect is the enemy of good!"

Chateau Chantal

8" x10" Oil on Rag Board


This is a plein air painting done at the Chateau Chantal winery in Traverse City, Michigan. I painted this in June while on a painting trip. This was our first full day in Michigan, a day of pure exploration looking for painting sites. This wonderful winery sat on top of a hill with exceptional views. We thoroughly checked out the winery, and then since it was the magic hour we decided to paint. This is looking down the hill on a cherry orchard facing West Traverse Bay.

Enjoy!
