Sailor's Sun

I know that winter is here and that I should be painting about snow, but my mind went to the beauty of the summer sun! Then I started with some lily pads and then I thought about a lone sailor sailing into the sun. And this is the end result! Enjoy!

Grace and beauty of the human body. What a beautiful way a ballerina can display that. The strength and flow of the human body. I love the way black and white paintings can show so much. It is quickly becoming my favorite way to express myself. This, again, is an ACEO (2.5 x 3.5) Price: $5.00.

Serene Sunset

Julie's Sunset - SOLD

I love the reflection of the sunset in the lake. This picture was fun and challenging for me to paint. Not fearing the darkness and the light in this picture was interesting. I love to look at sunsets and the shear beauty of nature and the world that God' created. Enjoy! Sorry this painting has already sold. If you are interested in something like this one please contact me.

Butterfly - SOLD

When we think of butterflies we think of a fragile creature. Though I think of a bold creature. To even get out of it's cocoon  it has to fight it's way out of the shell. But without this struggle, it would never be able to fly. I love to look at the gracefulness  the beauty, the wonder of a butterfly. They are so unique in all they are!! Enjoy this ACEO (2.5" x 3.5") card.  

Still Life of water and flowers

This picture is a little hard to comprehend, at least I think it is. It is actually a glass of water with a two stems of flowers hanging out of it. I have developed a fascination with black and white. I will try to spend more time on this to figure out how to make it more obvious. My goal at this time is that I post to my blog daily. Leave a comment for me if you have any suggestions on how to make the picture more evident. 

Horse

This is another oil painting done on ACEO (2.5" x 3.5") I love painting these little baseball size paintings. They are so quick and simple. $2.00

Saw Blades

I am so excited!!! Just found several old saw blades that I am going to paint!! Look for those to come real soon!!

Vino -- SOLD

"Vino" ....Need I say more? Who doesn't love a glass of wine? I have never done glass in a painting. I believe that  I will improve on in the technic but I thought this first attempt was pretty good. I almost didn't do this painting because I sometimes feel that a glass of wine, grapes and wine bottles are sort of over done, but I did it anyway!! This is an oil painting on ACEO trading card stock (2.5" x 3.5"). $5.00.

Purple Daisies -- SOLD

"Purple Daisies" is another painting on Artist Trading Card Stock (2.5"x 3.5"). It was quick and simple. I do however want to go back and paint this again on a larger scale and take my time with detail. It seems that I love to look at flowers but painting them is a skill in itself. $5.00

Birch Tree -- SOLD

Sometimes just sitting at the easel is all I need to do each morning. I find that creating something out of memory brings me one step closer to a masterpiece. This Birch Tree painting is painted with oil paints and is on the Artist Trading Card (2.5" x 3.5") . $5

Majestic Flight

Majestic Flight is another of the Artist Trading Card (2.5" x 3.5") paintings that I chose to do. These little cards are SO much fun to paint! Here is an eagle at flight. This painting is done with using only Red, Blue, Yellow and White just as I said I would. Learning to mix colors is educational. I am learning to see that depths of colors that you don't find in pre-mixed colors.   $5

Sky Line

This was a fun Daily Challenge about the sky. I chose to try a new "canvas" by using Artist Trading Cards. I found these while I was exploring the store. They are 2.5 x 3.5". I felt like this was a good size since I want to focus on a painting a day. I think that I am going to make a few sets and then mat them together in a frame.   $10
