PINK ZINNIAS #4


These little pink zinnias are from my garden. The gardens took quite a hit this summer with HOT HOT temperatures and very little water. So, these are some of the surviving flowers. In this painting I wanted to work with the paint almost as one would work with a palette knife. It is brushwork, but I used a lot of paint. I liked the effect.

Tremendous effect with the thick brushstrokes Linda. And like the suggestion of the glass container - so very nice!

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)
