Small animal paintings

Hello hello! This little duck is painted in oils in a 4" x 4" stretched canvas and the cow is also oils on a 5" x 7" panel.  My husband says animals are your thing, I do enjoy painting them but as you can tell I love to paint just everything. 

More snow here last night, I'm so ready for spring. I have places to go and things to do! Hehe

I hope the snow isn't interfering in your life too much, assuming it's winter where you are. 

See you soon

Trying new things

Hi Friends, sorry I haven't been posting as often but I am busy painting.  I started this still life a few weeks ago, it's oil in a 11" x 14" canvas.  It was fine, just fine.  Sometimes I think it isn't enough to to just paint well you need to be a bit different.  Anyway I went back into this adding soft color over the whole painting and then going back and tweaking a few areas. 

I have several things coming up.  This Thursday I am in a show called " Tiny" , I painted three 4" x 4" paintings for the show and they all were accepted.  I just entered two other shows and the whole month of March my Tuesday group The Brush & Palette Painters will have a show at the Cincinnati Womens Art Club. 

Thank you for visiting

Pets

I enjoy painting animals and I find them easier to paint than some things with their definite blocks of color.  I say that but that doesn't mean it's easy. I find that people really enjoy viewing paintings of animals too.  This beautiful cat belongs to our co-op owner, actually this is one of two cats that live at the co-op.  The dog belongs to a man I attended school with, he posted it on Facebook and I loved the image and he gave me permission to paint it.  The cat is 8" x 8" and I'll be taking it along to sell at the Northminster Art Fair next Saturday.  The dog is wet but it's available if you're interested. It is 8" x 10" and both are oil. 

So good of you to come by

Flowers flowers flowers

Hi! I am a flower painting fool lately. Lol. This one is oil on a 10" x 20" stretched gallery canvas.  

Also I am framing and getting ready for the Northminster Fine Art Show on February 7th on Compton Rd. This is a wonderful juried show and I feel honored to be included.  I paint a lot of small 4" x 4"'s for the show, everyone has room for a little painting, right? The second photo I have posted shows a few of those little paintings framed.

Thanks for visiting me!

New camera

Hi everyone and happy new year! I purchased a new camera, another Canon Powershot but I wore out my other one.  It came today and I shot this photo, thinking I'm lovin it!  This is oil on a 6" x 8" canvas. Painting some smaller ones for an upcoming show in February. 

Back on EBay, check out the paintings I added.  Haven't quite figured out how to add a link from my iPad,  you can enter "Pask" in the search bar.

Good to see you!

Merry Christmas

Hi Friends, this is the painting I used for my Christmas cards this year.  I enjoy painting the image I use for my cards each year.  Because I won't be mailing one to all of you I wanted to share it on here

and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.  Have a safe holiday and I'll be back soon. 

Still life

Hi Friends, I have worked on this painting off and on for a few months. The background color changed a few times. Lately I have been enjoying painting lighter backgrounds, I like the softness. I like the idea of lost edges blending into the background. This is oil on a 11" x 14" canvas. 

I uploaded a few images to FineArt America tonight, you can order prints or cards using my images but I haven't figured it out completely.  I ordered some cards to check out the quality of them, I'll let you know.

Also just a reminder that I have a collection of paintings on my website for only $50, the link is to your right.

So great to see you
