Red Blooms

Red Blooms Diptych is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 20″x32″. SOLD. This is a painting that I did for the upcoming member show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

The show opens on June 17th, the same night as the 3rd Thursday Art Walk in downtown Front Royal. It’s my favorite show each year that BRAC displays because all the members enter works they have been doing during the year and everyone has such different styles. I love to see it all together. Mark your calendar now so that you can be there for the opening reception.

White Quince is an oil on canvas measuring 20″x16″ and is available for $295.

I love this time of the year when everything is blooming. There are so many subjects for painting. I generally take lots of photos during April and May so that I have subject matter for painting throughout the year. Building a reference file is important if you paint everyday.

Peony Buds

Posted in daily painter, tagged daily painter, daily painting, flowers, impressionism, oil painting, peonies, peony, Virginia Artist on May 12, 2010| 1 Comment »

Peony Buds is an oil on canvas panel measuring 12″x9″ and is available for $155.

Peonies are my favorite flowers. The sad thing is that they only bloom for a very short time each spring. I would love to have them year round. The other sad thing is that they are very difficult to paint. But I’m making a stab at it this year. Hopefully there will be something worth posting for you to see shortly.

A Rose Study

Posted in daily painter, tagged daily painter, daily painting, flowers, oil painting, Virginia Artist on March 8, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Rose Study is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″.

A painter often refers to a painting as a study if they are doing the piece to prepare for a larger piece. This is often the case with plein air painting when an artist will paint a scene on location and then go back to the studio and paint a much larger piece.

Or maybe they paint a study as a warm-up to a more detailed piece. They could be testing colors or shapes. Or it could just be a practice as it was in this case.
