Glass Ornament

6"X6" Oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. Just when I thought I was running out of inspiration, I went into the Garden Gate, a gift shop in Lebanon Ohio. (http://www.thegardengate.net/)I was looking for a gift for someone, but was really taken with these large handblown glass ornaments. The owner kindly let me take some photographs, although she may still be scratching her head. Everything in the shop was reflected in the glass and since they were transparent you could see through them as well. Interesting to paint. I bought two of these so I could get the color of the tinted glass right. I love this painting.

6" X 6" Oil on Gallery wrapped stretched canvas. "Who's this?" I asked his three boys. "Dad" they answered. Finished said I!

Windblown

6"X6" Oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. Bree, sitting on a bale of hay at a farm in Lebanon, Ohio. She was just staring out into a field. The south sun provided a good light, and the wind was really whipping her hair around. I underpainted in permanent rose, cadmium yellow light to try and hold onto the sunlit feel of the day.

Listening

It's hard to sketch from a television program, but it can work out ok. You have to be really fast.
This was fun. I named it "Listening" because this was Whoopi's first few months on the view. She seemed to be taking it all in, sometimes in amazement I would guess, just trying to get a word in. I wondered what she was thinking.
I think she has brought a good balance to this show, she just has good common sense and her sense of humor is wonderful.

Apple in an Old Metal Bowl

6"X6" Oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. I picked up this old dented bowl in an antique store, I've had it so long I can't remember where. I always thought it would be fun to paint, all dented with great patina. This gray is permanent rose and Winsor green mixed with white. Since these colors are the colors for the bowl and apple, it created a nice harmony of color between the background and the subject. I lost a few of the edges, to give it a soft look. This painting is in a gallery, if you are interested in purchasing, please email me at tcoy1@msn.com SOLD

Fiestaware Creamer and Lemons

6" X 6" Oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. I like the shape of this little turquoise creamer. I started it a few weeks ago but put it aside in a corner of my studio. Good thing I painted the lemons in first, when I went back to the set up the lemons were mummified. I like the way light peeks through and around the lemons.

Until Next Summer, Yellow Dahlias

6"X6" Oil on Gallery wrapped stretched canvas. These are the last of the Dahlias, they were so pretty all summer, but the weather has turned cold. A little green hand blown glass vase. I resisted the urge to overpaint, and just let the underpainting of permanent rose, cadmium red and cadmium yellow do it's job. I worked on a very tightly rendered still life most of the day, didn't finish, so I used what paint was left on my palette for this little one.

Pumpkin Still Life

6 X 6" Oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. This painting is currently in a gallery if you would like to purchase, please email me at tcoy1@msn.com This tiny pumpkin was a gift from Jack. It took me awhile to figure out how I should paint it. My inspiration came from this thought provoking poem by my daughter Brianne....
Carving Pumpkins
simple
childhood
turned
complex adult thought
single thought
broken thought
wish the spoon could scrape out my insides
I could throw them on the floor
pick through them like hunting for seeds
so I could keep the ones that I want

October Evening on the Lake

I ordered a new color from Blue Ridge Artist Materials. http://www.blueridgeartist.com/ They hand make all of their oils. This color is smalt, a beautiful blue sometimes difficult to obtain. Nice buttery consistency to the paint. Wonderful customer service. Thanks Eric!

The Guardian

14"X5" Watercolor on Twinrocker Paper

Poetry Copyright Brianne Prince 2007

Deep along the forest edge

And high on a branch's cracking ledge

Lay the guardian of the falling leaves

Turning, spinning in mid air

They tangle in his matted hair

And form a halo of autumnal fire

Where dried out trees bend and tire

Forming his most confining cage

Where with the forest he's

Doomed to age

Sketchbook Watercolor, "The Party's Over"

Just a page from an old sketchbook. It seems like I have volumes of these, with worn out covers from miles and miles on the road. This one is from 2003, we grew these in the backyard. It seems like sunflowers are at their best when droopy and the leaves are crispy from the heat. On Arches 140lb coldpress paper. SOLD

Hung Out to Dry

7"X7" Watercolor on Sennelier paper $100.00

It has been incredibly dry in the Ohio River Valley, crispy is the word that comes to mind. I almost missed these drying sunflowers at the Farmer's Market in Lebanon, hanging on one of the poles that supports a tent. This one will make a great feast for the Cardinals and Jays, that is unless that pesky squirrel figures out a way to it first.

Peppers and a Jar of Beets

As with most artists I am forever on the lookout for new things to paint. I found these beets in Lebanon, Ohio at a farm and store called the Black Barn. I thought they would make an interesting subject when sunlight passed through the jar. What was a nice surprise was the way the sunlight passed through the openings in the basket and how it landed on the napkin. I used a limited palette of Winsor red, permanent rose, aureolin, cobalt blue and windsor green. I tried the Sennlier 140lb cold press again, I'm ok with the final result but had to fight the paper a little. 7"X7." Watercolor, $100.00

SOLD

Maybe back to oils tomorrow.
