This is a palette knife painting, with lots of texture, and a background ranging from a pale yellow green to medium grey blue.

Hydrangea Painting, Blue Floral Painting, Still Life Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD

SOLD


I picked these hydrangea from my garden and was compelled to paint them.  Hydrangea are probably my very favorite flowers and I love the summer months when my home is surrounded with their massive blooms.



I wanted to keep the painting as simple as the pitcher and mug.



For me, keeping it simple usually means "palette knife".

I have a big sale going on my Etsy site , with 40% off original oil paintings.  Don't miss this opportunity to have an original oil painting in your home, at a fabulous price!

This original painting is sold, but it can be ordered as a giclee print on canvas, paper or wood.

Enjoy your day!

Lamb Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Art,


This is one of my earlier paintings, of a small lamb, walking a Scottish moor.  

I painted with palette knife and brush and tried to get lots of texture in it.  I liked the rugged  feel.  I have never been on the moors, but I think they would feel rugged and cold and windy.



I painted a ram a few months ago, which I like to think is this lamb's daddy.  You can view it here

Have a wonderful week!

Small Floral Still Life. Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Flower Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil

Still playing catch up!  In retrospect, it was probably not a good idea to be out of state three months, attend a 4 day workshop and accept almost 20 commissions just weeks before the holidays.

So although I was painting every day, I struggled to find new works that I could show on my blog at that time.

I did manage to do this one:

 I really enjoyed painting something that I wanted to paint, and I think it shows.  Free and easy strokes and a touch of whimsy.

Time to take a deep breath and decide just what is important and what it not.

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Floral Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil SOLD

Inspired by my recent stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

SOLD
This lovely garden was at Lake Junaluska, just five minutes from our home.  So sorry to say that it is the very area of western North Carolina that has been suffering from wildfires, burning for well over a month.  We left before they got too close, but we did have one day with heavy smoke in the air.

The area was very dry and had no rain for the two months I was there.  I am sad to say that most of the fires were purposely set.

What is happening to our country!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
