Complements5"x7"oil on gallery wrap linenframing optionalSoldThe image colors on my monitorseem to be a bit stronger than in reallife on this painting. the oranges are lighter in person. The cobalt is closeto the actual piece. I once again am trying to be loose,but I guess my basic personality is fighting all the way. I tend to want it perfect. Why not perfectly loose!Anyway, I added some pallet knife areas (in the above detail photo)especially to the oranges and I think it adds some character and suggestive passages.

Sweet Dreams5"x7" oil on linengallery wrap, framing optionalSoldResting upon the blue and white vase,the white orchid appears to have founda comfortable resting place. I still love all things blue and white.This painting has a wispy quality to the orchid petals... done with several glazes and layers. At the same time the porcelaincame out looking like porcelain with reflectionsand transparency. I really like how this painting came out. Hope you like it too.

Potted Violets5"x7" oil on linengallery wrap...framing optionalSoldTrying to be loose and suggestive.At the same time I'm letting the whitespick up the glow of the surrounding colors.The light hitting the clay pot is very differentthan the light on porcelain...a very dullsurface, so no extreme reflection points.

White Orchid
5"x7" oil on gallery wrap linen framing optional
Sold
One of the art groups I belong
to has a challenge every now and then.
The newest is to paint something in just white.
I really like painting white because of the
reflective quality and how it picks
up the surrounding colors.
So, a white orchid in a white vase
seemed to meet the challenge.
