"Gone For A Swim"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200 unframed.

It's been a very busy weekend with baseball and volleyball games all over town. But it finally started raining (and they are predicting tons of rain this week) so this is a perfect time to paint! Sales have been amazing these past few days (sold three paintings on Friday, one yesterday and one today) so I really need to get to my studio. Enough said!

"The Red Boat"

8" x 6", Oil on canvas panel.

Sold.

We have returned from our amazing trip to Europe. We visited France, Italy, Greece and Croatia. It was the trip of a lifetime and we will always remember the time the five of us spent together in these amazing countries.
I am still getting organized (I have almost 1000 photos) and am getting my oldest off to college this weekend. I can't believe he is heading off ... yikes!
I am posting this painting but it was for a commission, it is not one of my Europe paintings yet. Those should start tomorrow ... I promise!

I must admit that this painting looks a lot better in person than the photograph. Oh well ... it is so hot outside and my feet were burning so I was probably a bit rushed to take the picture. I suppose I shouldn't complain as there are many of you out there trying to paint in near sub zero temperatures! The papers say it should cool down by the weekend. Which is a good thing since it was 90 degrees when I got in my car last night ... at 8:30 p.m.!

I did this painting yesterday and had some fun with it! Hopefully you can see the bright orange color of the underpainting peeking through! Thanks for your tips on photographing artwork. I can't wait to try them tomorrow!

This painting is for sale.

I painted this yesterday and I think I will enter this one (as one of three submissions) for the small works art juried competition this weekend. I am not sure why I rarely use red in my paintings when the color is so fantastic in paintings. I need to use it more often! I know that I keep mentioning that I like to paint boats ... but actually ... I like to paint reflections. Not boats, reflections!
