Mendon Bale Field

12 x 16 inches, Oil on Gessoboard, - Sold

My good friend and I were on our way to a grocery shopping trip when she spied this hay field. The freshly bundled hay bales announcing a hard day of work for a local farmer. I asked her to pull over so I could get a few pictures.

She not only pulled over, but she wanted to commission me to do a painting of said field. I enjoyed every minute of this painting. The bales are more stagnant in real life, so I had to change that up a bit for the composition's sake. My friend is rather literal, so I didn't have as much creative license in the composition area. But I had fun with mixing color and brushwork, which I think comes through in this piece.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope. I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery. This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy. After which he waits his turn to return.

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20. Buy with Paypal This is an experiment to force myself to say more with less. Painting with less brushwork because I have to! Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that. But I am having fun.
