Jade Plant



There has been a steady very gentle rain all day today and of course I felt like going to the garden center. Wet or not I looked at all the plants. It was really nice because I was nearly the only one there. I bought several red begonias and then spied this really pretty little jade plant. I placed it in this green glass vase that I have and liked the variety of greens. It was difficult for me to paint though. So many leaves and very little value change between them. I may try again but I wanted to list since I have been struggling with a hurt hand and haven't done so in several days.

Great job, Linda! The colors are beautiful. Hope your hand is better - and that it is not your painting hand!!

Thanks to you all for encouragement. This little painting was a challenge to say the least. It is not my painting hand.

Nice one! I especially like the contrast on top that made the leaves stand out.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
