Yellow Peep


Oil on 6"x6" stretched canvas


I managed to finish this little guy today
even with all the errands I had to run.
I wasn't very happy with the egg shell
though. I have tried in the past to
paint egg shells and wasn't happy
with them either. :0)
Try, try again is all I know to do..

Where's My Peeps


Oil on 5"x7" canvas panel


I almost bought the hot pink peeps at the
store today, but I decided to go with the
more traditional color. They even had the
prettiest blue color....ooohhhhhh so
tempting to just get them all...but that
means I would probably just eat them.

near future maybe even filled with
lemons too~~

Evening Tea





16"x20" Oil on gallery stretched canvas


This painting took me a couple of days to complete. It is a
pretty nice size canvas to begin with, then I painted an
underpainting with the tones, then glazing, the applying
the finishing colors. It was pretty fun to paint, but alot
different than the alla prima approach I am use to~~

Blue Eggs


Oil on 8x10 canvas panel

Looking at these eggs makes me anxious for
spring to be here...even though I have an
appreciation for all seasons, spring usually
runs a close race to being my favorite.
I love to see the trees budding, spring bulbs
pushing their way to the surface, and the grass
is so vivid.

Single Gerbera


Oil on canvas panel 8x10


In the summertime, these are one of my
favorite flowers to pick. It actually
encourages new growth when you pick
them, so they get thicker and even more
beautiful to look at...
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do~~

Gabriella



Oil Painting 12x24 stretched canvas


Bold in it's colors, this was a fun portrait to
paint. Most all of my women I paint have a
seriousness to them. But at the same time,
I can see a hint of mystery behind each one too...

Valentine Cup Cake


Oil on canvas panel 5x7


I personally love cupcakes. For some reason,
I am not a big fan of cake but I can hardly
resist a cupcake. I guess it is the size along
with being able to eat it with your fingers.
They always look so appetizing to me...

Hastening



Diptych Acrylic painted each canvas is 20x20


Diptych (two canvas) each measuring 20x20 with gallery
stretched sides. They can be hung vertical, horizontal,
side by side, the possibilities are endless.
Lots of texture was added to the design of this painting.

Playing The Lute



Acrylic Gallery Canvas 18x36


Figurative work on gallery stretched canvas with
mixed media. Gallery stretched means that there
are no staples on the sides of the canvas so it
can be hung as is. The sides are painted black
so it doesn't need a frame, but if you would ever
decide to frame it, that would be fine too...
