Oxford

10" x 10" oils
sold
I got the idea for the title maily from Scentsy - they have a new scent out called "Oxford" and it reminds me of cedar and an old English library. This painting has that same kind of feel to it - the background is a nice leather color and I can see this painting under a spot light in a library with rich, dark paneling and someone sipping tea in a nearby chair.

Olive

I love the title. The name reminds me of a little girl who likes simple things and wears cute clothes and round glasses, if that makes any sense.

Rip Curl

The background blue is such a moody, stormy ocean blue, perfect for the title and rip curl shape of the light and shadow in the tulip. I hope a surfer comes to my art show and likes this painting.

Pomegranate

16" x 14" oils

 I'd like to thank my iPod for it's shuffle feature, and the KanYe West song "Stronger" that came on when I needed a lift!
Now, pray for a cloudy day so I can get some better shots of Sunny and Pomegranate. Darn summer sun.

Sunny

16" x 14" oils
sold
OK, so about this painting. It was easy to title. I have a friend named Sunny and her name totally fits her personality. She has been a big supporter of mine from the bitter beginning, so when it came time to think of a title for this bright, happy piece, I had to chose Sunny. Sunny, my friend, this ones' for you! Thanks for always rooting me on.
