Succulently 24" x 12" Oil on museum wrapped canvas $350
I've indulged in three succulent paintings over the last few days and am as happy as if I were painting roses. For some reason I get the same enjoyment from these supple petals as rose petals.
I will be traveling again for the next week. I'm not sure if I'll get a painting done to post before I get back. Don't worry about me, I'm fine, just enjoying myself... A LOT!

Serendipitous Succulents 12" x 24" oil on museum wrapped canvas $350
I'm once again in love with succulents. Like roses, their petals whorl around a center and flail like outstretched arms or a "full circle skirt" from my youth. Did you ever twirl round and round in one of those? I'm enjoying the variation in color, the edges and the complexity of this subject matter.

A Gift of Wild Flowers 12" x 9" oil on canvas panel $125
Friends went to Michigan and photographed this cup of wildflowers they found in a sweet little general store. They thought of me when they saw them and emailed the image to me. I decided to honor their thoughtfulness with an impressionistic version of their gift. Thank you Susie and Israel.

Royal Sunset 5" x 7" Oil on canvas panel $50
It's been a while since I've painted a sunset again, but with all the traveling I've been doing, I've seen more this summer than I see in a year. What a glorious opportunity it's been to see the sky at this time of night.

Succulents and Cabbage 24" x 24" oil on wrapped canvas $600
A friend sent me a photo of her succulent garden, She said she planted the cabbage with them in order to have some purple in the pot. I agreed with her decision. It needed some purple counter balance the warmth of the yellow greens. Two of my favorite things to paint in one place! How could I go wrong but to paint them.
For those of you who are wondering, I did not use a sponge to paint this one. I used... a couple of brushes. Yup. The Princeton Catalyst brushes were my tools of choice. I still adore them.

Layer Upon Layer 6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel $35
Ahhhh, I've finished painting for other people for a while, and have three gallery exhibits hanging or at least the art is delivered and ready to hang. So here's a little warmup painting to get my juices flowing. I've shot photos of beautiful things to paint, now it's time to make some of those photos into art.
