OIL PAINTING OF OLIVES WITH SILVER TOOTHPICK HOLDER

OLIVES
10 X 8 OIL ON CANVAS BOARD

I purchased 2 of these little silver containers in an antique store in Foley, Al. I don't know what their real purpose is but they make nifty toothpick holders. I like all the different colors of the picks in this little oil still life painting.

THE CHASE

 20 X 24 OIL ON CANVAS
I have not been able to paint this week at all as my back is all out of whack.
This figurative beach scene of kids whooping it up on the beach was done over thirty years ago.
I have not had it up for sale in near that long. It is always interesting to look back at some older work and see the progression.

OIL PAINTING OF BOWL WITH FRUIT AND FLOWERS

A QUIET MOMENT
16 X 10 OIL ON GESSOED D'ARCHES PAPER
I did this still life painting a while back and have never posted it on my blog. I like it even tho it is not as loosely done as I usually paint. I was really fond of this fruit bowl with it's rooster motif, but it is unfortunately no longer with us.

SURF DREAMING

5 X 7 ACRYLIC ON PANEL 
It was 7 3 degrees here in Gulf Shores and the beach was full of people sunning and swimming. I imagine the water was a little nippy. Also we had a small earthquake 3. something. An unusual day for sure

ORANGE WILD FLOWERS

COREOPSIS SOLD
5 X 7 OIL ON PANEL
These little orange wildflowers are just beautiful on their long stems. From a distance they look like they are just floating above the ground. They are a lot easier to look at than to paint! The old medicine bottle is one I found in the dirt where they were planted.

GRAZING

10 x 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS
This horse was grazing in a nearby field in Baldwin County, Alabama. I am told that it is not a palomino, but either a paint or pinto.
As I was taking the photo from the roadside, a cute little boy came by and informed me that the horse was his Grandma's and she would sell it to me if I wanted it. Unfortunately, it wouldn't fit in the car.

RADIANCE IN A RED HAT

10 X 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS SOLD

Capturing the youthful glow of this beautiful young lady was a fun challenge. Delicate beauties are the the most difficult in portrait painting, I think.
