One Dollar Wednesday

"Cup and Saucer", 4" x 4", oil on gessoboard
Click here to bid.

Another 1 $ Wednesday...posting on Thursday! (Sorry for the confusion.)

One Dollar Wednesday is when I go through my painting archives and find what I think is a gem and is a couple of years old. Instead of it sitting around my studio, I offer it up on eBay starting at 1 $.

It feels like yesterday when I painted this, but it's hard to believe it's been 2 years! What?!

This is a cute little (4" x 4") cup and saucer painting. It would look cute in a dining room, sitting room, coffee house, or kitchen. Maybe propped up on a shelf or sitting on a little easel.

Happy Bidding!

Baby's Jacket

8″ x 8″ x 3/4″ deep, oil on cradled wood panel
Click here to bid.

The first painting for 2015 is finally here! It’s a little baby jacket that I wore when I was a wee one. Baby clothes have come a long way in 40-some years! I’d love to see someone snatch it up for a nursery…:)

I’ll have another One Dollar Wednesday posted tonight!

Adding Some Red

No. 309, No. 310, No. 311

Added a some larger red flowers to the small flower mix. I'm trying to get caught up with the back log of daily paintings I have (which I never thought I would have...a backlog), so I can start posting my daily paintings on a daily basis.

The Orange Collection

No. 303, No. 304, No. 305, No. 306

These were painted October 16 – 19, 2014. No titles, just their numbers. I think I’m coming up with some sort of process with these paintings, but still heavy in experimenting. Which all painting is anyway. In my opinion.

Dot to Dot

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it was time for a bra painting.

Pea Green

No. 296, 6" x 6", oil on gessoboard

I stopped by Starbucks the other day for a coffee and was feeling lazy, so I went through the drive-thru. The person who took my order started off by saying...Welcome to Starbucks! My favorite color is COBALT BLUE...what's yours? So, I said CHARTREUSE! Then he took my order, which was a cafe mocha (of course). When my order came out I noticed the sleeve was pea green. Another great color, so I though I would paint it. I love the challenge of mixing color!

Summer Treat


No. 295, 6″ x 6″, oil on gessoboard

I’ve had this colander forever and just didn’t know how to incorporate it into a still life. Then this thought came to me!

Slowly, but surely getting back into doing these little still life paintings.

On the Easel : A Maybe

No. 294, 6″ x 6″, oil on gessoboard

It’s good to be back painting still life again! The dress above is a maybe for a wedding I’ll be attending and it’s “a maybe” because I think I could have painted it better. A little rusty with the oil paints, but I knew that would be the case. I’m trying not to dwell on it too much.

Summer went by so fast! I had a great time doing some, but not enough, sketching and improvisational painting.

I’ve been thinking of making some changes to my blog/social media practices. When I work in oils, I usually don’t get a very good photo of my painting until it dries and I scan it so, I think I’m just going to post “on the easel” pics to Instagram. Then when the painting is dry and available for purchase, I’ll post it here.

Also…Wednesdays are going to be “Watercolor Wednesday’s”. I’ve been using watercolors all summer and truly enjoy them. I hope to get much better at them and I’ll be sharing some of my watercolor work on Wednesday’s.
