Fall Memories

Here is a new style of palette knife rendering for me. The flowers are from a still life set-up. I am happy with the texture of the paint and it was fun to render.

Here are a couple of closeup shots.

An Iris

I took this photo after a rain.
I like how the rain drops
glisten on the petals.

Earth Colors

I finally got some photos of my latest paintings
taken. Hopefully I can get more of them posted soon.

I have been so-oo busy lately. Hope that you enjoy
looking at this one. It is also a palette knife painting.

Light Reflections

Another palette knife oil painting. They are so much fun to paint and I really like the texture.

Size 12" X 16"

None of the palette knife paintings have been shown previously. Those posted here are a preview of my first experience with oil and the palette knife.

Color & Shape

This is another palette knife oil painting. I really like the color contrast of the blue green with the red and orange. Size is 12" X 16"

It's Almost Fall

Looking out of our window at the trees on a hot summer day I imagined what the hills would look like when the weather cooled; this image came to mind. I like paintings, especially landscapes, that are not behind glass.

This is an acrylic painting on watercolor paper that I attached to anther piece of watercolor paper and then to a heavy backboard with acid free glue. I coated the painting with an acid free sealer to protect it. Size is 9"X 11".

A Part of Me

Here is another palette knife painting. The vase reminds me of my Native Amerian ancestery. My great, great grandmother was an Indian maiden. This is what prompted me to name this painting 'A Part of Me'.

Size is 12" X 16"

Peaceful Zell

'Peaceful Zell ' and 'Zell Countryside' are plein air paintings of views from a fellow artist's home in Zell. Both paintings are painted in acrylic. Ste Genevieve County has a beautiful landscape at every turn and it is a wonderful place to live.

'Peaceful Zell' measures 11" X 14"

Zell Countryside

This one measures 9" X 12" and has a 1 1/2" Edge to Frame or Not

Lillies

Here are some of my Watercolor Florals!

Perryville Hills

'Perryville Hills' is an
acrylic painting
which was painted
at a friend's studio
in Perryville, MO.
A group of artists
gathered to paint.
We topped the day

off with delicious
beef vegetable
soup prepared
by our host.

Art, friends & food
go together very well!

Lonely Tree

I love to paint with a palette knife! The texture is so beautiful. and the palette knife is so much fun to use. I'm liking oil paints more and more. 'Lonely Tree' is a memory of a view out of our condo window in Colorado. I also love the mountains.
Size 6" X 6"

FALL HILLS

'Fall Hills'

I had fun doing this piece. It was the first time that I worked on a small painting with a palette knife. Most of my paintings are in watercolor. I have painted with acrylics in the last couple of months using a brush. 'Fall Hills' is in oil which was totally new to me. I really like the way that oils can be worked. Size 6" X 6"
