Oil Paintings
IN THE WORKS:
I am in the process of painting a series of featured-color still-life's.
My next two paintings will be of old things, and a large white vase.
Also, a few smaller paintings are interjected between large painting projects.
(Placing a gem in each painting has become my trademark)
"Study in White" 16"X20" $1,150.00
A friend gave me some of his fresh eggs and I wanted to paint them, so gleaned several white objects from around the house and this painting emerged.
"Pumpkins"
16"X20" $1,150.00
"Colander and Pears" 14"X18" $1,150.00
This painting was the cause of my again being serious about my art work. I was given some grapes and pears and got out the colander to wash them in. As I kept looking at it, I felt drawn to paint it. So, this was the beginning of many of the paintings on this site.
"Study in Red with Antique Fabrics" 16"x20" SOLD
This painting has a story: Because I crocheted a pumpkin out of yarn, one yarn ball 'grew' a stem
to pretend it was a pumpkin, too. Hence the title "Pumpkins."
"Study in Blue"
16"X20" $1,150.00
Thrift shop hunting for 'blue' I found this great blue lace runner (turned out to be most difficult to paint) and blue vase. Then, my friend loaned me a perfume bottle. I added my cousin's daughter's ceramic creation called "lil' Grape". And the candle was just 'hanging' around my home.
The story behind this painting is this: I knewmy next painting was going to be a red one, but what to put in it. I looked through my fabrics and found two pieces of French lace my grandfather brought home from France after WWI as examples to build a lace import business, but business fell off. Then I found a handkerchief my mother, Cheridah the First, practiced embroidering her name on when she was sixteen.
"Study in Green"
16"X20" $1,150.00
It was fun planning this painting. My friend loaned me the tall cloisonne jar and other green objects. It's a good study in light on and through glass, metal and satin.
"Study in Pink"
16"X20" $1,150.00
Notice the heart on the bear's foot? and the heart pillow on the wall? Matches? The little horse box and hand mirror came from a dear friend. I crocheted the tassel on the wall.
"Study in Metals"
16"X20" $1,150.00
This painting was a great challenge
to paint silver, gold, copper and brass
and all those reflections!
