Palette Knife Mini Landscape.

It's always time for a palette knife painting when I start to feel like painting becomes a chore.

Happy New Years - with another sale

This painting is going to Connecticut!
I'm pretty humbled with all the paintings I've sold this year.

Using Oils Like Watercolors.

Super Fast Sunday Painting.

Did this little painting while I'm working on my bigger project. 

My Newest Project!

More Damn Seashells.

One last seashell still life before I start heading into a new direction. 

Come Sail Away.

This painting is off to Massachusetts!

More Canyons.

Next Stop: New Jersey

Here's to my fifth sale in 4 weeks! I think this brings my tally up to around 14 different states (that I know of) and 4 different countries! 

adieu mon amour

This painting is off to France!

Two Seashell Still Life Studies.

Nothing fancy, just practicing still life.

Mini Landscape II.

Mini Landscape I.

Two More Paintings Are Sailing Away!

These two are heading for North Carolina this weekend!

Challenge 6: Seashell Study II.

A Halloween Sale!

I think this is the perfect painting to sell right before Halloween - and this one is going just slightly up the road to North Carolina! 

Challenge 5: Seashell Study I.

Which I guess is a companion to these: 

Challenge 4: Wildflowers.

Challenge 3: Seashore.

Challenge 2: Cow.

Challenge 1: Reflections.

One Final New Painting...

Before I go back to studying new ideas and lessons again!

Super Quick Speed Painting.

I felt like doing a fast painting with not so much thought put in...this is about as abstract as I can get, I guess.

Another Boat Theme

Revisiting an Old Idea.

I decided to redo a painting I wasn't thrilled with from last year to see if I could improve on it at all. The top one is my most recent attempt, the bottom is from 2014. 

Something Different Part III.

Something Different Part II.

And Now Something A Little Different

Daily Painting Challenge #20: Farmland

Daily Painting Challenge #19: Still Life of Your Choice

Hitting the Road.

Another painting has left for it's newest destination! This one is going to California! 

Daily Painting Challenge #18: Fruit Still Life

Daily Painting Challenge #17: Take a Walk.

Winnie's really not impressed. 

Daily Painting Challenge #16: Abstract.

Didn't have fun with this one. I like things to look like real things and make sense. I think I choose the subjects I like to paint because I want to capture some aspect of beauty or peacefulness or solitude. But it was good to break out of the mold and try something new. 

Daily Painting Challenge #15: Stripes.

Daily Painting Challenge #14: Stack of items.

"Stack of items" made me think of a haystack ...which then made me think of  Monet's Haystack painting.  So I painted that instead.  

Daily Painting Challenge #13: Plein Air.

Plein Air is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. I sat out and painted the trees in my backyard - bad weekend to do so at almost 90 degrees! 

Daily Painting Challenge #12: Winter.

Daily Painting Challenge #11: Sunset Sky.

Daily Painting Challenge #10: Starry Sky.

Daily Painting Challenge #9: Floral Still Life

This painting is super glossy so I can't get a great picture of it, but I think you get the idea.
