Lamplight

16x20" Oil on Stretched Linen

Getting a lot of mileage out of that lacy skirt posing as a curtain.  The play of light on the layers of fabric is so delicious!  You artists understand that.

12x16" Oil on Stretched Linen

The curtain on the right is a skirt with a pleated hemline.  With a lot of manipulation of my lighting, I was able to simulate sunlight through a "window", using aluminum foil to control the direction of the light.   This was a joy to paint!

Jerry's Roses

Not For Sale

11"x14" Oil on stretched canvas.

I finished this painting on August 19, 2012.  Since then, much has happened to keep me away from my easel.   Life happens, doesn't it?  Getting back on the painting track, I look at this painting and wonder if the silver pot being so close to the center is a problem . . . among other painting transgressions I may have committed!  I am submitting this on the "Critique Me Challenge" on Daily Paintworks for some help from other artists.

Cropped Work in Progress

This is a work in progress.  There is more to the set-up, but I don't want to show more than this just now.  I am determined to paint every day and post, but I must get to sleep.  So, I have cropped the photo to include only the part that is developed to a respectable degree.  Hope to finish and post the entire painting...well... today, since it is almost 2am!

"Roses & Silver"

14" x 11" oil on stretched canvas.
On October 11th, my husband and I sang at the wedding of our friends, Kiwanis and Tim. These flowers were part of an elegant centerpiece from our table at the reception. Congratulations, Kiwi and Tim!

Wistful Pears

Oil on 9" x 12" stretched canvas

I think the pears look as if they are waiting for their turn on the lofty pedestal, and the grapes aren't budging!
