Orange and Grapes

 

Orange and Grapes

5" x 7" 

Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Gessobord

Collection of the Artist

I love this one!  I should paint oranges more often.  It was fun to paint and so hungry painting, I ate the prop before I was finished.   That is why I paint so many pears.  I don't like pears and don't eat them, so they last for several paintings~  

Orange and Grapes was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery Ampersand Gessobord. Painting can be placed in a small frame and also be placed on a small easel for display.

This is the last of the paintings from the weekend~  Thinking of what to paint next.....maybe landscapes!  

Thank you for stopping by~

Day Two!  Thirty paintings in thirty days in January  ~30 Paintings in 30 Days with Leslie Saeta.  I am keeping up~  28 more to go!!

You know there are always going to be pear paintings~  I love the way this one turned out.  I am thinking of not painting on canvas ever again.  I so like the way the paintings turn out when I use Ampersand Gessobord, Claybord, or  Aquabord.

January Pears was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on Ampersand Claybord.  Painting can be easily slipped into a standard size frame or  placed on a small easel for display.

Tomorrow is another day and another painting!

Thanks for stopping by!

It is so nice to be back painting.  Feeling better everyday and almost back to my old self.  Still have trouble at times finding words.  But, I knew a lot of words and it is just taking time for my brain to reload all of them~

There will be a new painting tomorrow and the next day and the next day~

Fresh Orange, New small oil painting!

Fresh Orange

5" x 7" Oil on Canvas Panel

This is the newest of my small oil paintings on canvas panels. I am trying to paint daily, which finding the time is the biggest challenge, but I am having so much fun and learning so much.

I am always painting pears. I thought I would branch out a bit and paint an orange. I really like how this one turned out. I am thinking of branching out to more food groups!

This painting is available for purchase from my gallery and in my Etsy.com store.

I have errands to run but, hopefully, will have time to paint something new tonight.

Thanks for checking in~

6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

 I found this wonderful new canvas, 6" x 6" gallery wrapped, and quite heavy for the size. I will be using this quite a bit.

I have been busy---I have a commission to finish and then up next is Cherries! I bought some beautiful cherries at the store and will be painting them soon.

Back to the studio! Thanks for stopping by.
