Grape I   14"x8" acrylic   I am beginning work on a larger painting which will take time away from daily painting. So, I am posting this sketch that was done a while back. There were about 6 done in a series, which worked out well. I always enjoy painting grapes and vines. Must be those colors!

Ruby Geraniums

sold Ruby Geraniums 8" x 8"  oil     This study is as much about the silhoutte of the bouquet as about the color. It's a bit like a miniature tree shape with the branches like arms reaching outward. It might be one to develop into a larger work??

Barely There  11"x14" oil 
Yes, the cold has set in, but it's still nice to look for color out there, even on the cold days. Just looking at shapes alone....all the negative spaces between the branches, makes for a lot of interest.

Watching Sunflowers

Watching Sunflowers  20"x12"  oil     These sunflowers do seem to be watching the viewer, but  I did them as a demo piece, so they ( and I ) were the ones being watched :) Coeur d'Alene had it's monthly artwalk last night and our first snow didn't seem to diminish the crowds one bit. The town was lit up and looked very festive! I did this piece as a demonstration at Angel Gallery - start to finish about two and a half hours. Met a lot of very nice folks and talked to several fun friends I hadn't seen for awhile.  Thanks evreyone for coming out and all the nice comments and support

Silver Gift Box

Silver Gift Box 6"x6" oil      This little box is about 2" square. It's always fun and challenging to paint reflections and this was no exception. A series of gift boxes of varying kinds might be a fun change of pace about now. Everyone has their own idea about the possibilities of what's inside.

The Jota   14" x 11" oil - not for sale   I'm glad to get back to painting after a bit of a break and this  is a fun one to start with. This is my niece and nephew dancing the Jota, probably the first dance that every Basque kid learns. I will still probably tweek this a bit on edges and background. Thanks Julie for some great source materials :)
