Secret painting revealed - Sassy



Sassy (Sarah Vaughan), 11x14 inches, oil on panel. Not for sale.

This is the "secret" painting I had completed last month. It was a nice change of pace to paint something larger and spend a little more time on it. Plus, you can't beat this subject matter — what a voice.

I wish the images could be displayed larger here, but you can get a larger view by clicking on the images.

Better photo coming soon, now that I've got some sunshine!

Last month, I had a health scare and was in a lot of pain, so the paintings had to be put on hold. But I'm back at it!

Anjou Pears (sold)

I was going to do more work on this one, but it has grown on me just the way it is. That's often one of the hardest decisions to make when painting: when to stop.

Now available for sale in my eBay store. (Bids open at $75.)

Anjou Pears (in progress)


5x7 inches, oil on panel.

I am not sure that this is finished; the fabric could use more work. It's still clamped to my easel (you can see the clamps in the right corners), asking me to finish it off. Maybe when this nasty cold goes away!

This time I did a warm red underpainting. I don't always begin the daily paintings this way, but I wanted to let some of the red show through in the finished painting to warm things up. This is what lies beneath:

Kiss #2 (Sold)



5x7 inches, oil on panel. Painted on commission.

If this painting looks familiar, that's because it is! A woman saw my first kiss painting hanging in her friend's house and she had to have one of her own.

Summer Delight #2 (available)


Oil on panel, 6x6 inches.

Let's face it, summer is almost behind us. Because I'm lamenting that fact, I've decided to do a little series of summer-related paintings. Whee!

Why not start with possibly the best thing about hot weather - relaxed dress codes? On a related note, I just read the other day that there has been an alarming increase of flip-flop related injuries, so beware! (Ha, amateurs!)
