Painted this last night, starting around 9pm.  Too late really to start a painting, but I had been working on a commission earlier in the day and wanted to do something a little more free.

#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?

#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.

#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.

#247 The Aviator's Wife Book Club

SOLD (12x12 inch oil)

This month we read "The Aviator's Wife" by Melanie Benjamin about Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh.  Fascinating story.  Didn't know much about them beforehand and definitely made me want to learn more!  Found these flowers alongside the road.

#242 Blue Vase, Flowers and Peaches"

Click to bid! (10x8 inch oil)

Tried to keep the flowers somewhat loose by mostly just blocking in the lights and darks.  Also wanted to add some peaches because they will only be around for a little while longer!  This is the blue vase I purchased from At Home a couple of months ago.

#239 Vases and Water

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

When I first read about last week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, "The Water Challenge", I immediately had 3 ideas pop into my head.  Painting the ocean, painting this still life and a painting of my daughter playing in the pool.  I didn't get to the last idea yet, but hope to paint it at some point.  Overall this was a fun piece to paint!
