Wool Works Lilly Patch

Wool Works Lily Patch, 5 x 5 inches, Oil on cradled Gessoboard

Sold - thank you!

This painting is my impression of a beautiful Daylily patch that was set against the lighter tones of the oil & stoned paved road and the lush forest.  Wool Works is a charming little gift shop that features wooly items like socks and sweaters.  Also there are cookbooks, including Amish cookbooks.  I purchased a book on preserving food.  

Someone at Wool Works  has a green thumb and I took pictures of their mature and beautiful flower beds.  The master gardener has planned the beds so that flowers that end their season of bloom, are followed by  flowers that bloom later.  You just want to roll out the picnic mat.

Cocco and a move

"Cocco" 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard I have some news for those who subscribe and my collectors.  I'm moving back to Blogger.  It's been a long time and I tried another blogging venue.  It didn't work for me.  This artist has spent countless hours trying to get tech savvy.  I want to paint.  So stay tuned.  First post for 2017 coming shortly.

Bloomfield Shack in September

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Gessoboard I've painted this many times and every time I drive by the actual shack, I have to stop and look/take more pictures to work from.  It's hard to admit that one smaller shack could inspire me so much.
