"This Little Piggy Stayed Home"

"This Little Piggy Stayed Home"

oil on board, 12"x 16"

SOLD

I painted this fellow once before in another pose but I wanted at least one more chance. He really stole my heart as he tried to get my attention but seemed shy all the same. What a beautiful creature!

"Soft"

"Soft"

oil on board, 4" x 4"

SOLD

This is my second painting of this same subject. I bought a few new colors and painted this version with a completely different palette from the set I normally use. I loved some of the new ways to mix colors. More to come.

"Sleep"

"Sleep"

oil on board, 8"x 8"

SOLD

I had a painting that was a big fail, sooo I wiped it off and started putting different colors on it one at a time. This is what came of it. What do you think??

"Madrona"

"Madrona"

oil on board, 5"x 5"

SOLD

Another tiny piece for me while I work steadily on larger pieces... The island has many of these Madronas with their beautiful peeling bark and orange interior. This is just a quick glimpse while we still have days of sun here in the Northwest. We don't see this kind of blue sky forever.

"Wrinkled" WIP

"Wrinkled" WIP

oil on canvas, 22" x 28"

I still have some details and softening to do with this but I'm mostly done. I will post the final product in a day or so...

"Unwrapped"

"Unwrapped"

oil on canvas, 54"x 54"

This piece has been on the easel for a long time and has had many transformations. I didn't like the background colors before. I tend to think the dark brings out the subject better for my purposes. This was really a lot of work and I'm happy with the outcome. Hopefully this piece will be part of my show at the Artswest Gallery in November and December in West Seattle. It should be a great show!

"Whiskers"

"Whiskers"

oil on board 5" x 5"

SOLD

These are some of my favorite colors to paint. This is my cat Bob spending the afternoon soaking up warmth from the window.

"Things Are Looking Up"

"Things Are Looking Up"

oil on board, 2.5"x 3.5"

SOLD

We went to the Puyallup Fair last week and enjoyed seeing all the animals so much. This beautiful goose wasn't so sure about us and watched for a while before venturing closer. I haven't painted many works this tiny but I really enjoyed this one.

Opening Friday!

Hope you can join me!
