Oil Painting - "End of Season"

6" x 8" Oil on canvas.   Available here.

This is a little plein air painting that I am happy with.  I think it came together quite well.  I painted it just a few weeks ago on a sunny fall afternoon.  These leaves are all gone now and the snow is well down the mountain.  The little sailboat in the distance happens to belong to a friend of mine who was out sailing that day.  

Right now I am on a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona to take a portraiture class at Scottsdale Artists School.  I am really looking forward to it.  It starts this Monday!  I will let you know how it goes! 

Rose Buds

8" x 6"  Oil on canvas panel.  Available here.

I goofed on Wednesday's post and it did not go out to your email like it should have.  I trust this one will be seen in your inboxes on Thursday.  Of course you can still view Wednesday flower on my blog.   Here is a bouquet  of rose buds for you to enjoy.

A Rose For You

6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel.  Available here.

I have enjoyed painting these roses though their soft petals and subtle color changes are not easy to paint.   Unfortunately the photo on this one is not too good.  Looks like I have reflecting light on it but it is too late now for me to take more photos and post.   In Portland, Oregon there is a wonderful public rose garden that I have visited a few times.  The rose garden is very large and has rows and rows of every kind of rose.  There are all sizes and colors and you can walk along and smell them and view the delicate beauty of each variety.   Here in Alaska we grow Sitka Roses.  I should remember to paint them this summer when they are in bloom.  I have two different verities in my yard.

On another note, the artistry in the opening ceremony to the Sochi Olympics was just fabulous!  What beauty and creativity was shown to all!

8"x8"  Oil on canvas board Available.  I'm in the town of Soldotna.  My husband had a meeting to attend.  On the way here we saw six moose along the highway including one we had to stop for because it chose to slowly cross the road just as we were approaching.  I'm so glad we saw it in time.    I'll keep posting flowers up till Valentine's Day!

8" x 10" oil on canvas panel $200.    Fresh flowers are such a beautiful thing.  How they can bring beauty to a room.  A floral painting would be a creative substitute for traditional flowers on Valentine's Day.  I discovered that there are over 120 varieties of roses .... amazing.
