Valentine's Day Give Away - "Red and White Roses"

   
Oil on panel 8" x 10"  $375


Here is painting #2 for the Valentine's Day Give Away.   I actually clipped these flowers myself from a rose garden while I was out of state on a trip.  What a treat to have them in my room and be able to paint them while traveling.  The panel they are painted on is called gessobord by Ampersand.  These boards have a smooth surface with just a slight texture.  I am using these for all my small paintings right now because I really like them.  I brought a selection of them back in my suitcase.  

Thank you for following my blog, and feel free to leave me a comment.  Every time you leave a comment you get an extra entry for the Valentine's Day Give Away!!  And I love hearing from you!

Chiswell Islands

Click here to view blog

6"x 6" oil on primed Arches paper (museum quality) $175.      These remote, rugged islands are part of the Chiswell Islands where a variety of seabirds come to nest each summer. Tufted puffins and horned puffins nest here by the thousands.  Many tour boats visit these islands on their daily tours of the Kenai Fjords National Park.  I painted this in mid December 2012.
