#262 Sunflowers in Orange Bottle

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

I've been painting a lot of sunflowers the last couple of months.  I just like them so much.  Painting the orange bottle was challenging...especially the lightest bits of orange.  I like the pop of orange and pink in the shadow.

#260 The Last Peach

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

Painted quickly so that my daughter could eat this peach for a snack...and then she decided she didn't like it.  Anyone else have a picky eater at home?

#258 Morning Flowers 2

Click to buy! (10x10 inch oil)

I run by these flowers on most mornings and they are so pretty!  I think they are a type of hibiscus.  They catch my eye every time.  It was hard to get all the subtle shades of purple and pink and the texture of the petals.  The darks in the actual painting are a little darker than they show in the photo.

#257 Oranges on Pink and White

Click to buy! (5x7 inch oil)

Once again I am way behind on posting!  I painted this almost 2 weeks ago when I didn't have much time and wanted to keep it simple.  These are little oranges are small and kind of flat on top, but can't remember the name of them.

#256 Oranges and Sunflower on Blue

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

I had a lot of fun painting this one!  I used a Senso linen panel and loved the feel of applying paint to it!  I'm working on getting more accurate photos of my paintings.  This one still feels too cool.  The colors are warmer in the painting.

#255 Simple Sunflower

SOLD (6x6 inch oil)

I painted this last Saturday afternoon while my husband and daughter were at a football game.  I picked it to keep things simple but it was tougher than I thought is would be!  A sweet friend of mine has already claimed this one.  Thanks, Christine!

#254 Shine On Us

Click to buy! (12x12 inch oil)

I've been doing some quick 15-20 minute sketches before I start a painting.  Sometimes I use it to solve potential problems and sometimes it just helps me warm up beforehand.  I did one for this painting because the vase is new and I didn't feel confident since it is white.  I actually liked the sketch more than the final painting!  The photo of this painting is a little washed out on the right side, again.

#253 Warm Plums

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

This is the last painting I did of the plums.  I decided to use a mustard yellow because I thought it would look nice with the rich colors of the fruit.  I also attempted the white plate again.  I had to redo it several times, darkening the values.

#252 Plums, Plate and Glass

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

I'm still trying to catch up on my blog post.  The photo is a little washed out on the left.  For this painting I tried a somewhat new perspective for me.  I also added a white plate, which usually gives me lots of problems :)  I used my spotlight (which I've now broken), and I'm still working on how to lighten the values where the spotlight hits.

#250 Sunflowers in Pitcher

8x8 inch oil

This one was a struggle from start to finish.  I wiped off the pitcher once.  Then I started painting things out of order (for me) and started having problems with the edges.  I decided to experiment with softer edges in most of the painting.
