BALLERINA OIL PAINTING

Little Ballerina

24" x 36" oil on canvas

This is what I have been working on the last couple of days. I decided to do a larger version of the Little Dancer that I did a while back I took this photo inside the studio as the painting is still wet and it is windy outside. The colors are a little richer than they appear here.

I am thinking about getting fine art reproductions done of this. What do you think? If you are interested a print of this painting email me at eliblaylock@yahoo.com

Avocado on Blue Dish

OCTOBER ZINNIAS

October Zinnias SOLD

5" x 7" oil on canvas panel

Yes I still have Zinnias here in October but they are getting a little sparse. I love painting this little round vase which always looks nice with just a few flowers. Unfortunately I broke one of the shakers while I was photographing them. I bought them at an antique store in Biloxi a few years back. I have used them a lot in paintings and on the table. Oh well....

TEA CUP WITH LEMON SOLD

5" x 7" oil on canvas panel

Good Morning all! The little painting above was another challenge. That darn saucer kept changing shapes on me.
