$100 - 6x8" original oil painting with sides painted to match.

These cheerful violets with their bright yellow centres are certainly lightening the snowy mood today. Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can't find some cheer for inside. ; )

8x10" original oil painting on 3/4" panel.

Well, I may have over bought at the flower shop. Hee hee. So, I grabbed two little cups and filled 'em up. I made sure the cups, (well I guess one is a vase) were different. I love the dark one. It's such an interesting shape - one of my faves. 

Sides are painted grey. 

loosey-goosey and juicy

I was waiting for a morning cab ride when I took the photo reference for this painting. The sky was just so triumphant! I haven't painted a stark tree against a beautiful sky before. Happy to have a chance to paint it today. : )

8x8" original oil painting on panel with 1"deep painted sides.

Here's my portrait of the beautiful colourful Bernardine Evaristo for the second week of the Portrait Artist of the Week Challenge. She's the writer of Girl, Woman, Other which won the Booker in 2019. SkyTV is continuing the Portrait Artist Challenge and now, everyone can join in on the fun every Sunday (uk time) over on Facebook. She sat staring at the computer and talking to the host for 4 hours (while thousands of people painted her), including this week's artist that skyTV chose. So... 3 screens happening for the show! So fun!

SOLD

$40 - 5x5" oil painting on 1" deep panel with painted sides. 

I drew a sketch for this sky study first (below) however, painting with oil is such a different experience than drawing with pencil that I'm not are how much the drawing 'helped'. Besides, I strayed quite far from the sketch composition.
Having said that, I do intend to keep doing sketches first. ; )

pool party

SOLD

$40 - 5X7" original oil painting on board

I painted these fruity friends with lots of loosey-goosey brushstrokes and topped them off with dabs of hot pink! #superfun
