Iris, 6x8 Original Oil on Canvas Daily Painting

 Click to Purchase

I am mining pictures I took of the gorgeous blooms at Brookgreen Gardens, South Carolina for floral daily paintings. Sometimes I think I'd like to be locked away to just paint for days with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. It worked for Rembrandt, at least artistically, but he forgot to pay the bills. That was unfortunate, because he was quite the consumer.

Tree Frog, 10x10 Collage on Canvas

I am very partial to tree frogs; they are the cutest of reptiles. This collage is made of torn and cut magazine pages and is mounted on stretched canvas. The canvas has one and a half-inch deep sides and needs no frame.

Suddenly the images I put on my blog don't match the ones on Etsy. Oh, Google, what did you do? Like my last post, the purples are way too intense, yet they look correct in the Etsy version, which you can see if you click on "Click to Buy" above. As Roseanne Rosanna Danna would say, "It's always something." I have manipulated this as much as I could, and there's no telling how it looks on your monitor.

Anyhow, this is a South Carolina marsh scene, and I hope you will go to Etsy to see the real colors. You don't have to buy anything. I promise. 

Is anyone else who blogs on Blogspot having this trouble?

One-Eyed Rose, 10x8 Original Floral Oil Painting on Panel

$115, Buy Now

I called this painting One-Eyed Rose because when I painted it I had a patch over one eye. I had cataract surgery the previous day and the patch was still on. It was very interesting painting with one eye, because my depth perception was a bit off. I would reach out with the brush, ready to stroke the canvas, and I wasn't quite there yet. Once I got going, I compensated for that easily. When they took the patch off at the doctor's office, everything had a lavender hue except for my chartreuse-tinged Kleenex. Colors are so much brighter now, and I am so glad I did it. I didn't even appreciate HDTV until now!

Hobbitat, 9x12 Oil Painting

I call this Hobbitat because it looks like Hobbits would live there. It is a cool, lush forest and that road leads to some interesting places. No Hobbit sightings, though. Yet.
