Fun to try something new....an analogous color scheme, and a bit less "blendy"! Why is it so hard to simplify?

Another Rose?

6" x 6" original oil on canvas panel
$95 plus $5.95 shipping


Just back from a fabulous trip and looking forward to some easel time....I actually started this painting before I left...got the rose looking pretty good, but struggled with the pot....Also there were quite a few more leaves in the set-up, but I painted the rose so big...that everything would not fit in....so...this is what I came up with......

Cool

6" x 6" original oil on canvas panel
$95 unframed $5.95 shipping

When you think of brass, you think yellow...when you think of sunflowers, you think yellow. I am thinking, great, a composition with color harmony! This one really demonstrates the concept of temperature....the sunflower is warmer than the brass container.....Always a comparison and not always so easy to see....

Together

6" x 6" original oil on canvas panel

I was really happy when I found these two cherries still "together"! They found a place on my set-up station immediately....Being together is a good thing...not just for cherries!
