SOLD
What looks like three mugs is actually one mug with three handles that my daughter gave me for Mother's Day. Confusing to drink out of but great for a still life set-up!

Dogwood Tree
unframed / surface-Pastelmat board
Back at the easel! I've spent the last week and a half with lower back pain. Staying in any particular spot besides a soft cushioned sofa has been nearly impossible.
This painting was done for our art challenge blog. Dogwood trees are in bloom everywhere!

Little Dreams book cover
5" x 8" pastel painting
SOLD
My friend Nancy asked me to paint the cover for her new book a couple of months ago. She came up with the concept and I designed and painted it. Of course a book is almost always better than it's cover so I hope you'll check it out at Amazon.com to learn more.
I haven't read it yet (I'm anxiously waiting for my copy) but I guarantee that it will be not only a good read but inspirational as well.

dramatic lily
unframed
I mentioned a few posts ago that I was going to work more abstractly for a bit. Ooops! I started out that way. Maybe tomorrow . . . I'm working on a new composition which will work well abstracted.
Nevertheless I love the result.

Blue Calla Lily
unframed
Spring is in the air and although I don't have any Calla Lilies growing in my garden, I have many photos of them to work from. This is definitely my favorite flower to paint. Each one is obviously unique and the flowing form can't be beat.

Calla Lilies
unframed
I'll be working on paintings that are more abstract than usual for a while. Partly because it's just so much fun and because I'm working on a new project! I've been hired to paint a series of about 15 paintings. At this point I can not share the work because it's for a start-up company. When the project is complete and goes public I will post all the paintings. So stay tuned.
I tried a new pastel paper for this painting called Pastelmat. When I first touched it I imagined that it wouldn't hold the pastel particles well. It's a very smooth paper unlike the sanded papers I usually use. To my surprise it holds an amazing amount of pastel with hardly any dust! It's more difficult to blend which works out perfectly for my plan to paint abstractly for the next month or so.

Blue Agave plant
gallery wrapped canvas - 1 1/2" deep - unframed
painted edges and ready to hang
painted edges and ready to hang
No they are not really blue but I think they should be ;-)
I started this painting about a year ago and stopped after blocking in the shapes. Two days ago I was ready to finish it. Sometimes I'm not sure where I want to go with the colors but it usually doesn't take me this long to decide.
This is actually the agave plant versus the blue agave plant but I like the leaves of the former better.

blue bell flowers painting
unframed
Until spring comes I never remember the bulbs that my father planted for me in the garden. And every spring I am pleasantly surprised with what comes up out of the ground with no effort on my part. These blue bells, which may have another name that I'm unaware of, are so delicate and last for a very short time . . then the work begins.

spring flowers
unframed
This was a fun little piece to work on. I wanted to convey the mood rather than the details of the flowers. Thanks to my daughter-in-law Samantha for the reference photo!

Morning Tide seascape
unframed
Thanks to my son Cory for the inspiration. He took a photo at sunrise in Hampton Beach, NH a couple of weeks ago. It could be anywhere by the ocean.
It looks like I'm going to start getting up earlier for photo shoots myself!
