4x4 oil

Sold

Very exciting and honor to win 1st place in oils at the WA State Fair in the fine arts division!

Also to have a write up in two papers!

"Hibiscus in Pink"

6x6" oil

Another painting from my brother and wife's garden. Right

outside of their kitchen window was this beautiful

glowing pink hibiscus. The sun was hitting it just right

to cause these wonderful shadows.

oil 8x10

While walking through my brothers garden I spotted these

beautiful white flowers peering out of the

shadows and into the light.

"Teacup in Bloom"

oil 8x8"

I was down in California and had a wonderful visit with

my family.

My brothers wife had a slew of teacups and gave them

to me. I use to paint teacups quite often, now that I have

a box full hopefully I will be painting more teacups.

I set this still life up in my studio and painted it

from life.

oil 5x7

Sunflowers are fun to paint and they have such a warm glow to them,

the yellows in light and the oranges in shadow.

I kept everything else in a cooler tone because the

sunflower is so warm. Though some yellows can be on the cool side.
