Well, this is a total experiment. Have you ever just been tired of what you were doing and needed a change? I have been feeling this way for several weeks. I bought some acrylic paints just to experiment with a different medium. I found that because the paint dried very rapidly I could experiment with the color a little more! It is fun!! I still have a great love for oil....but I think this will enable me to learn something new. 6X6 inches acrylic canvas panel (archival) $35.00 plus $8.00 shipping in USA. Puchase Here

This is one of my older paintings but one that I like very much. I don't paint on Sundays and needed a painting so I brought this one out. Do you know that I just discovered Clementines this year....oh my gosh....they are so good! These little gems are sweet and juicy and plain delicious. 6X6 inches oil canvas panel (archival) $75.00 plus $8.00 shipping in the USA. Purchase Here

The gerbera daisies that I bought are still fresh and beautiful...hopefully I can get a few more paintings from them. The pitcher was difficult to paint. The position of the handle had to be painted again and again until it looked believable. I have been working directly laying in the paint without an underpainting. The transparent pitcher made defining the handle even more difficult. I worked the background darker and darker until the flowers and pitcher began to take form. I probably worked it a little too much. I prefer to keep the colors very clean. All in all I was satisfied when I decided it was done. 6X6 inches oil canvas panel (archival)

This is one corner of my studio. I loved the way that the Gerbera Daisies looked on the table in front of my daybed. 6X6 inches oil canvas panel (archival)

My granddaughter took this picture of herself. The face full of expectation and happiness had to be painted. I learned a lot from this painting. I felt more comfortable than on yesterday's portrait. There is a ton to learn about painting a face and I have only just begun. I remember being her age and full of wonder. Don't you remember? I will rephotograph tomorrow because I keep getting a nasty glare. 6X8 inches oil Raymar canvas panel

I am not very experienced doing portraiture but I thought that I'd give it a try. This is my grandson...he is very happy about something!! He has a blue tongue so I am sure he ate a lollipop or maybe a blue snowcone. I need more work on flesh color and finding the browns that I want. But, all in all I was happy with how it turned out. 6X8 inches oil Raymar canvas panel NFS

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. 6X8 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)
