Christmas / Holiday Season and Catching Up

In an effort to block out the latest daily/hourly Trump news, the MAGA bombs and all of the other stressful news and social media "bot" comments and posts, I'm selecting art from my collection to make available for sale as we approach the holiday season.

Covered Wagon, Hale Farm 3

"Covered Wagon, Hale Farm 3"

The third painting at Hale Farm, from my Summer Sketchbook.

This is a beautiful place to visit in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A great

place to bring families and paints. This is a Gouache painting, 5" x 7.5" on

watercolor paper.

This is available for purchase here.

Village House, Hale Farm 4

"Village House, Hale Farm 4"

A page from my Summer Sketchbook. This is the 4th sketch

from my day at the Hale Farm in the Cuyahoga Valley

National Park. Painted in Gouache, it measures 5" x 7.75",

on watercolor paper.

Shortly after I began painting, a group of people showed up and began

setting up rows of chairs and a garden trellis right behind me.

A wedding ceremony had been scheduled for the very spot I had chosen.

 I finished my sketch and got out of the way before the guests showed up 

but it was pretty distracting to paint with a dozen young people 

setting it all up a couple of feet behind me.

Available for purchase here.

Berea Pines

"Berea Pines"

A stand of pine trees caught my attention on this day. The different 

qualities of light and shadow, direct light, reflected light,

the  warm and cool shadows gave the scene so much clarity.

I was also trying out a new, homemade tripod/easel attachment

that I had mad the day before. It worked pretty well for about

a month and then the tripod broke! Ive since made some revisions and

 adapted my easel attachments to another tripod...it

works well enough for the time being.

This painting is available for purchase here.

Stacked Stories

"Stacked Stories"

An intersection of book shelves in my studio. I love to read

and get a particular joy in the look and feel and art and stories of old

children's books. I also like the abstract design of books on shelves.

This is an Acrylic painting, 10.25" x 14.25" on watercolor paper.

This painting and others are available for purchase here.

"Bouquet 2"

A second version of this bouquet. It is fascinating

to me to see the value of the first painting when doing additional

versions. Being able to bring that experience and knowledge to 

the next painting is rewarding and fun.

This painting is Acrylic, 7.75" x 7.75" on watercolor paper.

Available for purchase here.
