Blue and White Vase with Pears 20 x 16 Oil on Canvas

On this painting I wanted to go a little looser then usual.  Most of my paintings at the Shain Gallery in Charlotte have darker backgrounds so this time I made it a lighter background with gold and lighter colors added to it.  The small works show for the Shain Gallery started on December 5th and goes through the month.  Also on this painting I used a gallery wrap canvas so no frame.

Vase In Turquoise 24 x 24 Oil on Panel

I am trying a new panel that is made locally and have to say I love it.  The wood and construction is really well made.  You do have to put on your own gesso, but that is fine with me.  Also there is no frame as it is made with deeper edges.  This turquoise vase has so many beautiful colors in it so I really enjoy painting it.  It was also made by a local potter.  Currently I am trying to go lighter with my palette.  Just in one of those moods that's all.  This painting is available at Anne Irwin Fine Art in Atlanta, Georgia.  It will be in the small works show starting this Friday, November 14th.  Please stop by if you are in the area.

Twigs 24 x 24 Oil on Canvas

I am getting ready for the Small Works Shows at both galleries.  This is a new size for me and it is a gallery wrapped canvas so no frame.  I think it gives it a more contemporary feeling.  There are spa colors in the background along with greys.  This nest is a mockingbird nest and I found in the holly bush at my mothers house.  Their nests remind you of playing pick up sticks.  The nest is so loosely made with twigs in every direction and somehow the thing stays together.  It probably helps that they build their nests in the holly bushes, which are so hard to get into that the birds must feel safe.  This painting will be available at Anne Irwin Fine Art in Atlanta, Georgia.  I will drop it off in a week or so and the show starts November 14th.  Stop by if you are in the area.
