QUIET ARRANGEMENT - SOLD


I was tempted to call this painting "14 Hands" which would refer to the bottle that has a horse's head on the label.  But, for the sake of composition the horse's head ended up being a mere smudge of a reddish-brown.  This was meant to be a loose painting so a very defined horse's head just wouldn't work.  However, the horse was original inspiration (and I want to give him/her credit!).

DAISIES AND CREAM-SOLD





I had to resort to some silk flowers for this one.  I'll be so glad when everything starts blooming again.  My roses are bursting out all over, but it will be a while before the blooms get underway.  I really just need to make a trip to Trader Joe's and get some of their flowers.

SELTZER AND APPLES--SOLD






This old seltzer bottle was purchased years ago when a neighbor came over and said she had a friend that was at her home and had some interesting artifacts she wanted to sell.  She had lots of interesting items, but I fell for the turquoise glass in the bottle.  I like the contrast of the red apples and the brass bowl.

RYAN'S BEAUTIES-SOLD






I painted these lovely fillies for their trainer.  I've been away from painting horses for a while so it was fun to get back to it.  The photos I worked from had them in their stall with white fences all around, but I rather liked the idea of them being free to roam on several acres.

BRASS AND GLASS---SOLD






This was a fun painting as most of them are, but the special part about this one was that I re-discovered the brass bowl that had long been missing.  Originally I also had a brass platter that matched, but it is nowhere to be found.  I love showing the transparency of glass and this container is part of a set that came from my Mom.  She and my Dad had purchased a whole set of them at the Madonna Inn where they had stayed while on their way to Northern California.
