10" x 14" oils
I started this painting months ago, then forgot about it and got busy painting tulips, but a friend asked about it and I decided it was time to finish this piece. It's so unlike my tulips; without stating the obvious too much, let me just say that I don't know where this style of mine comes from. For now, I just paint. I'll figure out the rest later.
I used oil glazes in this piece to get that luminosity of layers.
If anyone has ever been in the Midwest during a storm, they'll love how this piece feels.

Peaches n Cream
8" x 16" oils
This painting will most likely be part of my show at Terra Nova Gallery in September.
I love oranges and greens together, and it took me a while to settle on a background color for this piece. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but when I tried this minty blue, it was immediately right. It compliments the strong oranges well.

Melissa Peck
Today I visited the studio of Melissa Peck, a talented and driven artist. It was a treat to spend some time with her discussing art and career goals. She has a one-person show at Coda Gallery in Park City opening on July 31st and I encourage anyone who can to go and see her beautiful artwork.
