647 Oregon Morning

Oregon Morning

oil on canvas

9x12"

$270

     

 The morning light hit the low hills across the meadow, making them glow. Only a few minutes later they were a different color, and that went on all morning. One might think I exaggerated the bright color in the painting, but I did not. Such a fine way to enjoy your morning coffee.

646 Hwy 20 Hill

Hwy 20 Hill

oil on canvas

12x12"

$360

     I am studying landscapes. Not strong in this department.

     It is fun though to go on field trips, taking a picnic lunch and the dog, to gather material.

     This scene told me I did not know how to paint clouds. I enjoyed researching that and found that there are many, many, many ways.

     This view along Hwy 20, near Bridgeport, is a typical California scene at this time of year.

 

645 Mendocino Cliff

Mendocino Cliff

oil on canvas

12x12"

$360

     I am enjoying learning about Tonalism, so I am trying my hand at it. I hope to do more because I find it very interesting and moody. I am also trying the new thing for me which is landscape on square canvas. I like this one. I think it is cute. (Can something be both cute and moody?)

 Resting Deer

oil on canvas

$422

     I looked out and there she was under my window, looking right at me. She hung around while I got my camera and then lingered even longer as the morning passed. I left her alone to let her rest awhile.

638 Cherry Bowl

 Cherry Bowl

oil on canvas

8x8"

$140

     This is the final painting of last summer's cherries. I painted this one on an old canvas that had been washed down so many times I did not know if paint would even stick to it. It was pretty slick. I had a little trouble with it because of that, but it turned out that the worn out old canvas was good for something after all.

639 Bartlett Pears

Bartlett Pears

12x9"

oil on canvas

$238

     Pears have been a favorite subject of mine since the very beginning of my painting endeavors. They still charm me with their shape, color, stems, variety. Actually, any painting of a pear turns out kind of good no matter who paints it.
