Sold in Pawley's Island

Selling my art started slowly this year.  It seems to be constant though.  I really love during marsh paintings and I think it shows in my artwork.

Day 30 and Day 61 "Last Blossoms"

"Last Blossoms"

8" x 8"

oil on canvas panel

I thought it was appropriate as the last blossoms of the tulip trees fall, I finished my last painting of these two challenges.  The first one was for 31 days with Strada Easel and second one was 30 days of painting with Leslie Saeta.

That makes 61 days of painting.  I feel like I have learned so much and love my new studio where it is a joy to paint in everyday.  

River through the Vineyards

Just a little over two weeks ago my husband and I were driving through the wine region of Germany.  This painting is of the Moselle River with the vineyards planted on the sides of steep hills.  This and the Rhine are perfect to take a river cruise or a bicycle ride beside the rivers.  We discovered many beautiful  villages and castles.  It waters was deep blue and clean.

I enjoyed painting and experimenting with a cloudy day and sand dunes so much  that I wanted to paint another one today.  I am discovering different blues to use in the sky to make the clouds pop.  My challenge in painting is also with contrast and depth.

Abstract Marsh II

SOLD

A new take on painting of a few years ago.  It was a square 30" x 30".  I wanted to see how it would be in a small size.  Usually an abstract looks better large. I think the colors let it work in the small version also.

Day 25 "Quiet Beach"

I mixed lots of blues, purples, and yellows  for this painting.  I remember a quiet walk on this beach at dusk during the Thanksgivings holiday.
