Morning Dew on Morning Glories, painting on glass

This painting was a delight to put together. I wanted vivid colors and I got them! There's a close up on my website, also, should you want to see more detail. Morning glories are so cheery and colorful. I also painted a second piece, so there's a pair. I'll blog about it another time, however. Very stained glass looking, opaque, luminescent, and transparent all within the same painting. The photographs do not do it justice, unfortunately.

"Near Cortona in Spring (Italy)", palette knife oil painting

A larger version of yesterday's blog -- this is an 8x10 palette knife oil painting on canvas -- we've been to Cortona, Italy, a couple of times and had a lot of fun visiting there. As always, the hill towns in Italy are nothing less than magical. Colorful, too!

"Poppies, Hills, Italy" palette knife oil painting

If you have been following any of my numerous blogs, you know two things about me for sure: (1) I love to experiment; (2) I do not like brushes when painting in oils. These two bits of information are featured in this painting -- totally experimental in application solely using palette knives. And colorful, too! Evocative of my memories of the Italian hill towns in spring. There are more paintings like this one coming: watch for one arriving on your screen soon! (Close up on my website.)

Salmon Icelandic Poppies, painting on glass

"Salmon Icelandic Poppies" was a challenge to paint. These poppies have a lot of ins and outs, sort of ruffly. They are fun poppies to grow -- I've grown them from seed and just plain old potted up. While this painting has sold, I'm always willing to take on a commission!

Red Mountain, Colorado, palette knife oil painting

This particular mountainscape is from southwestern Colorado -- full of minerals and color. On the way to Ouray, Silverton, and Durango and near Mesa Verde. This is a spot you must see! Don't I sound like a tourist agency for my lovely state?

Three, painting on glass

Simplicity is the point of this painting. Three red poppies, daintily placed. Varying shades of red in the petals. Transparent. Opaque. Luminiscent. Iridiscent. Sort of a light aqua pearlized and marbelized background. And a close up on my website.

Water Falls, palette knife oil painting

This is something of an experimental painting for me. It's painted onto linen using only palette knives. There are deep shades of blue with some white splashing around and a light blue sky. A great deal of fun to paint!

Butterfly and Rose, painting on glass

I'm obviously fantasizing about warm weather again -- why else would I paint this scene?

Roses are wonderful flowers and the butterflies certainly do enjoy their nectar. Can you imagine flying, running into a lovely rose, taking your meal there? There's a close up of this on my website.

Shooting Stars, painting on glass

Last Friday night I had an art opening at a local gallery, Meko's Gallery, in Fort Collins, Colorado. all the art I displayed (through this month) were paintings on glass. I am pleased to say that this particular piece sold. "Shooting Stars" are wildflowers here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. My husband and I also grow them in our backyard. I must say, painting this subject was a hoot, I really had fun with it. If you are interested in a similar piece, just let me know.

Spring's Here, palette knife oiil painting

Okay, I'm pushing it just a bit. I know that spring isn't really here, but it will be soon and what better harbinger than forsythias? This painting has a bit of an oriental feel to it -- I find blues to be soothing -- and I can just feel the sun on my back as the robins spring into action, looking for food, the forsythias beginning their blooming time, the crocus up, the daffodils well on the way. It's been in the 60's and 70's here in Colorado recently -- now, we all know better, there has to be at least one or two more snowstorms in store -- so, yes, I'm dreaming, spring isn't really here. But we can pretend momentarily, can't we?

Travelling, palette knife oil painting

Well, here is another skyscape for you. It's "Travelling" -- clouds drifting through the sky just before dusk settles. I see this all the time looking West from my doorstep. Lucky me! The colors vary somewhat, but this painting does, I feel, capture much of our Western sky. Good night!

Red Pear Painting, pastel painting

I painted this a bit ago -- red pears intrigue me. Why are they red, not green? Yellow? Purple? Whatever...I am not the best a picking fruit, I leave that to my husband. They're too ripe or not ripe enough. Someone do it for me, I'll use it in the pie already! Let me paint, for goodness sakes!

Peek A Boo Iris, palette knife oil painting

Spring must be around the corner, it just has to be! I am so ready to see fresh flowers rising from the ground -- crocus, daffodil, forsythia, iris, whatever! While I like florist shops just fine, there's nothing quite like walking outside and being surprised daily by what is springing forth from the ground.

This is a palette knife oil painting, no brushes to muddy up my colors here. You should try it sometime -- put aside those brushes, just use knives for cleaning the palette or for painting. It's hard but fun!

Tulip Bouquet, painting on glass

A few years back I was in an art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and came upon not only beautiful artwork (it is an art capital!) but also this lovely vase with fresh flowers in it. So, just for you, I present this special little bouquet. They are full of both transparent and opaque colors and luminosity, reminiscent of stained glass. Enjoy them.

Sunny Day in Capitol Reef (Utah), palette knife oil painting

Beautiful Utah. We live right next door to it. Red earth. Blue skies. Desert. High plains. Canyons. A number of national parks. You absolutely must visit this place! It's like another planet, absolutely marvelous, very unreal compared to many parts of the U.S. A hiker's paradise. Capitol Reef is often, unfortunately, overlooked, but being overlooked doesn't mean it's a bad thing. When we were there, it almost felt like we had it all to ourselves. You'll love it!

Tranquility, palette knife oil painting

Once in a while, it's just plain old peaceful in the sky, at dusk, twilight, sunset. I played and played with this painting -- tiny little palette knives here on the canvas. Had a great time making it, too!

I love the volatility of colors in the Rocky Mountain sunsets much of the time -- but sometimes you just need to give it a rest. The sky does that, anyway, so I played it all down -- and had a lovely time doing so. Serenity. Peace. Quiet. Something we all need occasionally. I don't necessary thrive on it, but when it happens, I appreciate it. Tranquility.

Pastel Sunset, pastel painting

This is, admittedly, a pastel sunset. I mean that in two ways: it is painted with soft pastels and also in pastel colors. Every once in a while I want to zoom in on a sunset and see the details, but of course they are so fleeting! I see contrails from the airplanes occasionally and see all shades of pinks, blues, corals, yellows -- even shades of purple! This is is a bit more abstract than I usually paint, thus a different bit of a style to show you!

Sunrise Over the Atlantic, pastel painting

You know what? My Circadian clock is different from my family's. I struggle to get up in the morning. It's torture for me. Thus, sunsets are my specialty. Every once in a while, however, I manage to get up and glance at the sun coming up over the horizon. Now, admittedly, this is a rare event, but I present to you my interpretation of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. I hope you enjoy it.

Loving Iris Duo, painting on glass

Valentine's Day is almost here and I cannot resist the irises these days. Boy, are they difficult to paint, though! Flaky little flowers with all of those frills and folds! I know we're completely out of season with these sweeties, but who cares? I like a challenge! Blues and purples seem to dominate these flowers, at least in my mind. Those are fun colors with which to paint so I have no problems with mixing them up. They become much like stained glass in my technique. Don't forget to check out the close ups on my website, listed below! I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I do painting them!

Sail Away, palette knife oil painting

A different season here -- summer. I long for summer until it gets here. Then it's too hot. Complain, complain, complain! Oh well.

A few years back I visited a college friend in Rhode Island and saw something like "Sail Away" out on the horizon. I'm intrigued by the ocean and by boats. I get very seasick, so just daydreaming about it will have to do. The blues and greens of the water, the full sail of the boat -- I wish I were out there on the boat, having fun!
