“Pink Peonies”
SOLD
This 8″ x 10″ painting is done with warm lush color and generous paint application. I’ve placed a silver server in the set up and the warm tones of the peonies are set off beautifully by the lemons sitting on the gold satin cloth.

“Storm Break”
SOLD
This landscape is painted in a realistic manner. The work is created using multiple glazes which gives it a wonderful light filled glow when lit with a picture light. It has an inviting sense of light and rich color. The scene is of an actual storm break in the Santa Ana Mountains in California. The painting’s size of 16″ x 12″ makes it easy to frame or you can choose to hang it without a frame. Its sides are finished in black and it’s reverse side is mounted with two parallel blocks that allow it to stand 1″ from the wall creating a pleasant contemporary shadow effect.
I’ve been painting in a slightly larger format from the 5” x 7” that you’ve been seeing on my blog. While this one is 16” x 12”, the other two formats will be 8” x 10” and 9” x 12”. I hope you enjoy them. Pricing on opening bids will be about the same. I enjoy the larger format as it gives me a little more freedom. I’ve also just completed a very large. 24” x 48” still life which I’ll be posting soon. I’ll continue with the smaller format occasionally, but you’ll be seeing larger ones also from now on. Please let me know how you like them.

“Citrus Snack”
E-mail me to purchase this painting.
This painting of orange slices on a Delft Blue Plate was inspired by the absolute craving for something with citrus. Must be the time of year. I ran to our local farmer’s market and scooped up the most colorful oranges I could find. I couldn’t wait to finish the painting just so I could eat them.

“The Red Cloth”
E-mail Susan to purchase this painting for $39.00
I must say, it’s nice to be back after the short holiday break. Bring on the New Year! I had some fun creating this painting of a classic restaurant teapot and red cloth. I picked up the teapot at the thrift shop and while I was setting it up saw a spot of red reflected in it. It was the red cloth sitting on a chair behind me. It wanted to be in the painting so here it is. Bright warm color seems to be my calling these days. This painting was painted in a loose realistic style. It will enhance any decor.

“The Pewter Pitcher”
E-mail Susan about this painting or to purchase for $39.00
This painting of a Pewter pitcher and silver server was my holiday escape! The tinsel and wrapping paper was starting to get to me. I was going to paint another holiday themed piece and just couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. My soft, reflective, much loved “stuff” called to me – and gave me a little peace. Polishing this stuff is kind of a Zen exercise.
I haven’t been able to get into the studio for a few days so this was kind of nice. The holidays have really put me behind. This sort of disruption gives me cause to think of Duane Kaiser’s commitment. I stand in awe of that man. When does he ever clean his house? I’m going to be opening this blog up to comments in the next week or two. Also a note to those of you who have my old web site address as http://www.sparart.net/ – I’m working on a new website which will be ready in a couple of weeks (holidays and power outages permitting). You will be forwarded to the new site automatically. I’ll be maintaining both this blog and the new website so you will be able to bid on paintings from either location. I’ll have a new domain name and will give you the particulars when that happens. The old one will still be good for several years, though, so no need to worry.
