Landscape - Summer Harvest

Summer Harvest 20 in. x 30 in. Oil On Linen Canvas - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

THIS IS A FULL SIZED PAINTING, NOT ONE OF THE SMALLER DAILY PAINTINGS THAT I TYPICALLY LIST ON EBAY.

This painting is of a corn field in Kansas that is across the road from one of my family members. For me there is something attractive and strangely comforting about these fields after the corn has been harvested. I especially like them in the winter when they are covered with frost and snow. This field was harvested this month. The setting for the painting is in the afternoon around 5:00pm. I was most attracted by the reddish gold colors of the field created by of the remaining corn stalks. I hope that you enjoy the painting!

Landscape - Cabin Window

Cabin Window 16 in. x 20 in. Oil On Linen Canvas - SOLD

THIS IS A FULL SIZED PAINTING, NOT ONE OF THE SMALLER DAILY PAINTINGS THAT I TYPICALLY LIST ON EBAY.

This painting is of a window in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, the cabin is well over 100 years old. The painting is somewhat of an abstract to me, its all about the squares of the window panes, and the rectangles of the walls, window frame and sill. But it was the sunlight in the window that originally attracted me to it, the light was very intense and it darkened the inside of the room around the window. The glass panes are old and frosted from time around the frames. I really liked the idea making the window the main subject of the painting and not using the cabin walls or furniture and reducing the window to a secondary role. I hope that you enjoy it!

Daily Painting - Landscape - Cattails

Cattails 6 in. x 6 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

These are cattails on a pond a few miles from my house. I had painted this pond several years ago as a full size painting. Today I wanted to try them again. The image is set in late afternoon and early evening. What I enjoyed both times that I have painted this scene is that there are essentially four stacked layers in the painting - The greenery of the cattails, the pond, the landscape in the background, and the sky, and they are all tied together with the stalk and tops of the cattails. I hope that you enjoy the painting!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Painting Things

Painting Things 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Panel - SOLD

The subjects of this painting are things that I use almost daily. I have been using this palette and brush cleaner for almost ten years, the brush is a well used no. 12 filbert, and the box is a small wooden jewelery box that I use in my paintings frequently. I think that the painting has almost an old world feel to it, but with more modern subject matter. I hope that you like the painting!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Bottle, Jug, And Apples

Bottle Jug And Apples 8 in. x 10 in. Oil On Panel - SOLD

This painting a composition of several things that I like to paint. I've been painting apples and bottles for years and for this painting I added the clay jug because I thought that it gave a nice contrast to the smoother glass of the bottle. I tried to use as much natural lighting in the painting as I could, and used a grayish background to help emphasize the colors of the subject. I hope that you enjoy the painting!

Daily Painting - Still Life - Brown Jug And Apple

Brown Jug And Apple 5 in. x 7 in. Oil On Panel - BID ON OR BUY THIS PAINTING.

This is a brown clay jug that a good friend of mine has. I borrowed it to paint primarily for the contrast between the shiny top of the jug and the matte bottom. When I set this up I thought that the yellow of the apple really added some nice color to the muted colors of the background and the jug. I hope that you enjoy the painting.

Daily Painting - Still Life - Fresh Bread

Fresh Bread 8 in. x 10 in. Oil On Panel - SOLD

This is bakery bread from a local grocery store. I had painted doughnuts once but never bread and I have to say that it was really really fun to paint. I used a more diffused light than normal for me when setting this up, and placed it in front of a dark maroon colored background to bring out the golden colors in the bread. Very enjoyable day painting this. I hope that you like it too!
