BUTTER BEANS


This little shack was part of a greenhouse and novelty gift complex. The name was Butter Beans. Unfortunatley it is no long in business but holds sentimental value to me. It is located in the heart of Port Royal which is a small community right on the waterway. I used to love the fresh flowers that Butter Beans carried and would bring them home to paint. When I drove past the other day I had to stop and snap a photo. I have always wanted to paint this sweet building and its surrounds.

Lovely. It's so much fun to find places like this and so sad to see them gone. Nice to capture it in a painting!

Hi Linda.
I love this one. I also love your use of those brilliantly bold colours. Well done Linda, and all the best.
Vic.

Gorgeous! I love the way you've captured the subtle golds, peaches and greens of this delicate rose. I also admire the way you've balanced the soft flower with the hard, yet delicate salt shaker. Really nice composition!

Thank you, Victor! I really don't do many landscapes. I would love to do more plein air work but it is too hot and humid most of the time here in the South. I admire that you go out as you do and work from nature. All the best to you!

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)
