14"X 11" Oil $275.00  Saturday we spent the day in Charleston attending the Spoletto Art Festival.  I have many photos to work from.  On the way out of the downtown area we walked past a home with a pretty little private inner garden.  I loved the light and the color of the building set against the green foliage.  Very Special Two days left to sign up for my Monthly Newsletter and a chance to win a free 6"X 6" oil painting of your choice from available paintings.    I have been working on this drawing for several days...its certainly not perfect, but I think that I captured something of the spirit of this pretty girl.  

  8"X 8" Oil Stretched Canvas $135.00     I tried to capture the beautiful reds and deep purples of this single gloxinia bloom.  I will photograph again tomorrow as the sun is quite low tonight and I am not capturing the depth that I want.

  12"X 12' Oil Stretched Canvas $200.00   These are daylilies from my garden...they don't last long so it was a real challenge to capture the lovely light on the petals before they began to turn inward.  I used a simple palette here.  I have grown to love the violets that I get when I mix Cobalt Blue and Cad Red Medium.  Very subtle but very beautiful.

  12"X 12" Oil Stretched Canvas SOLD Joy is completing a task when it seem there is no way forward.  Joy is overcoming a state of mind that is detrimental to your progress. Purchase here:    http://www.lindahuntfineart.com/joy.html I found this quote by Rumi that I felt summed up my feelings about overcoming a small creative block.  "Listen.   Make a way for yourself inside yourself  Stop looking in the other way of looking. "

I had great fun painting these gorgeous red poppies.  I too have a red viewfinder and found it helpful in establishing a value pattern.  Painting glass is a real LOVE of mine and I really am so fond of this little glass vase that I found for a dollar in a thrift store!  I stayed with a very limited palette here and find that to be a sure way of creating nice harmony.

 8X8" Oil on Board                                                                               NFS   This is a Mother's Day gift for my Mother in Law.

This is in answer to Day   in the 30 Day Marketing Ideas by Leslie Saeta.  The idea was to show the process in creating the painting.

  10"X 10" Oil $175.00   I have had this jar of honey for a while always intending one day to paint it.  I liked the way that it worked with the blues.

  8"X 8" Oil on Board $135.00   The glass is part of a set of 4 that I bought that came from the 1950's...love them!  The cups a melmac...who remembers that?  The Peony is not real but I fell in love with it at Pier One Import.  I felt on my game today and this fell together rather effortlessly.  That's the best way.  If you sign up for my Newsletter, that only comes out once a month, you can be entered to win a 6"X 6" painting at the end of the month.  I would appreciate it if you would LIKE my Facebook page.  Both signups are on the right hand column!

  6"X 6" Oil on Board $100.00 How can it be that 3 little lemon sections could give me such fits!  I was most attracted to the glowing red and orange in the shadows.  Shadows are so deceptive they seem to be quite dark but when you compare them to other values in a painting they are much lighter.  Generally speaking. Please sign up for my Newsletter and be entered into a drawing for a free painting at the end of the month. You can sign up for the Newletter on the top right column.   Also, I would really appreciate if you would LIKE my Facebook page .  Thank you!

  8"X 8" Oil Canvas Panel $120.00 I have always liked this little 8"X8" oil painting done on a canvas panel.  I love to paint roses.  What I liked in particular about this painting was the simplicity of the forms.  The Vaseline Vase is my very most favorite vase.  Vaseline glass glows when placed under a black light and has the most incredible yellow green color when placed directly in the sunlight.  I bought this vase on Etsy at one of my favorite shops (Annykate).  This painting can be purchased here .

This is  portrait that I have been working on....I need much more work to actually have it look more like the person...but...it was a great learning exercise.
