"Pretty in Pink"

8 x 8 inches, oil on canvas

$1 Auction

Sold

An oldie-but-goodie from what I kinda think of as my "reflective glass surface" period. I guess it was spring 2012? I was really into placing my still life setups on these large pieces of glass. Before and since, I've had other obsessions periods: colored bottles, skulls, colored papers....Chinese lanterns....

"White Lilies on Purple" floral flower wine painting easter lily art original oil

oil on canvas

$200

I spent some time with this white lily last week. Then I threw it in the garbage with a vengeful sigh of relief. Before it was even wilted! In my defense, the thing did smear me with pollen several times and make my studio smell like a funeral. It also gave me some painting-related trouble. It deserved to die.

"White Lilies and Wine" floral flower painting still life wine fruit lemons art daily painting

 

8 x 8"

oil on canvas

Sold

I'm happy with the looseness in this painting, though I don't feel I can take all the credit - my brushes are getting worn out, and until I get down to the art store and replace them (which I do about once every month or two), my paintings may be a bit fuzzy! I'm noticing a pattern here - I posted a WIP of this piece on Facebook, and in the comments, I admitted that the reason I didn't paint the entire lily stalk was that I didn't have any small, rectangular format canvases left. Note to self: I control the materials, they don't control me... Right?
