June Bride Angel

"I'm With You on this Special Day"
10" x 8 ", Oil on Board
This might seem a little poignant to paint a mother-like angel with a bride.  With June around the corner, I thought that this might be an angel someone would like to see.

Angel Walking Commission - Sold

"Angel Walking (5)"
14" x  11", Oil on Cradled Board
Commission/SOLD
This is the latest Angel Walking painting.  This particular angel has been very popular and I was commissioned to paint another.  I need to paint one more as I have yet another commission to do this same sort of painting.  In some of the commissions I've been asked to paint the angel with brown hair or blond.  This has really been fun to paint.

Chocolate Martini Angel Commission

"Chocolate Martini Angel"
10" x  8", Oil on Board
I'd painted an angel holding a wine glass.  The painting sold and the buyer commissioned me to do another just like it, only this time the angel would be holding a chocolate martini.  It was given as an appreciation gift for an organizer of a charity.
 
It was nice doing a commission but sweeter still that it was for a charity gift.

Angel Palette Knife Painting with Grays

"I Know That You Feel Me Somehow"
8" x  8", Oil on Board
Drying on my easel right now.  Yippee!  I am feeling crazy happy right now.  I have a two commissions for "angel walking" paintings!  And the Gallery in Roswell, GA is asking for more angel paintings.  So this one, as soon as it dries is headed to Muse & Co...I like the colors in this one - gray and somber with a punch of yellow/orange in the frock.

Pet Portrait

"Buck"
5" x  5", Oil on Board
I don't think I posted this painting so here it is.  I do pet portraits but I'm particular - they are very small format paintings.  I think it works better this way.  The frames are easy to find and if one has more than one pet - it's easy to group on a way.
 
This is cousin-in-law's dog, Buck - the photo is a little lighter than the actually painting.  Photos don't seem to do it justice I think.

Simplicity - Floral Palette Knife Painting

 
"Simplicity"
8" x 8"x 1.5", Oil on Canvas
Muted soft colors.  I've been noticing in home decorating magazines and catalogs that they are displayin a vase of branches, without flowers, just simply branches.  So I've painted just that.

Special Day Bouquet, Floral Palette Knife Oil Painting

"Special Day Bouquet"
20" x 29 " x 1.5", Oil on Canvas
Mother's Day was Sunday.  I have no children so I don't get flowers like this but a friend's son presented her with this beautiful bouquet, the vase had a yellow ribbon.  She posted it on facebook and gave me permission to use it as a reference photo.  Now that I've taken a photo of it I'm thinking this painting might need a little tweaking here and there - but nonetheless, this is a special day bouquet.

I Miss You floral palette knife painting

"I Miss You"
16" x 12" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas
Today is a quiet day.  It's been raining quietly, hushing the usual day sounds, even the birds' chirping is muted.  That is why the title seemed to linger in my thoughts.  White flowers on a dark background.  There are a lot of colors in the dark background from rich warm browns to blues and grays.

Feet on Beach, commissioned painting - SOLD



"Feet on Beach"

SOLD

A client saw one of my little feet painting at the Dutch Art Gallery and wanted to have a special one painted just for him.  This is one of them...his feet on the beach.  

Fun, fun, fun to paint...but hey, what a quaint idea  for marketing vacation paintings of feet.  I hope others would like to have their feet painted at the beach, or some famed landmark?

Blue Heart, Small Palette Knife Painting

 
"Blue Heart"
5" x  5" x 1.5", Oil on Stretched Canvas
Available for purchase.
I like hearts.  Hearts and stars I think are great doodle subjects.  I had these cute canvases which I bought a while back and toned them with Alizarin Crimson.  It took what seemed forever to dry enough to paint on.  So now I'm playing with hearts.

Nocturne, Palette Knife Oil Paintng

"Nocturne"
8" x 8 ", Oil on Board


My camera is starting to fade.  I've had it for a few years, Panasonic Lumix DMC-Z18.  The zoom function is not working anymore.  It still takes wonderful photos if I don't need to zoom.  The battery doesn't hold charge as long as it once used to.  I have other digital cameras so I'm OK but I think I will need to shop for a camera soon.

I took this little painting outside to photograph.  It is a windy day today so I was careful not to leave it unattended while I fiddled with the settings.  I snapped several photos and then switch to a macro setting to get some close-ups of the paint strokes when it happened.  The wind gust made it lean into the lens and since this painting is still wet, it scraped a lot of the flowers off.


This painting above is the second attempt after correcting and adding the lost petals.  I was going to title this painting, Hydrangeas in the Moonlight but as I was looking at it, Nocturne seemed more appropriate.  Sometimes I think I get too explicit in titles.  I think the mood/feel is a better way to title some pieces.  Whatever works.
