That's right a new size!  I have been painting on square panels for sooo long, I am thrilled to offer these 6x8 inch paintings.

These sweet young children were so adorable I just couldn't wait to paint this.  I think I would like to do a series.

Impressionist Art Oil Painting Portrait Children

I can't think of a better place for kids to play, outside in nature.  Especially today where we are consumed with screens of all kinds.  I believe it helps undo all that screen time.  Makes them, think, discover, get dirty and truly enjoy themselves.  I grew up by a river, a field and a pond and my best memories are being outside all day long. 
This painting got frustrating for me.  I am rusty from not painting in a while and I feel I could have painted 3 paintings in the time and brushstrokes of this 1 painting.  Makes me want to paint this scene again soon.

The sweet little ballerinas were so adorable sitting and waiting for their moment.  I struggled with this one for part of the day.  After short lunch break  I finally realized that a change in values was needed.

Contemporary Impressionism Boys at Play Oil Painting 9x12


Bug Huntin'
9x12"
oil on panel



Making boyhood memories.  My son and his cousin were on a serious mission while camping.  This is actually a study of the painting I did years ago.  Sad to see it stored away.  Hopefully it will find a home one of these days.

Crossing the Creek Contemporary Impressionism Original Oil Painting


"Crossing the Creek"
oil on panel
6x6"

Another scene from our recent camping trip.  I loved how the sunlight filtered through the trees on this crisp Autumn day.  I tried to capture the important details without getting to tight with the detail.  Hopefully just enough to capture the feeling of the moment.

Kiddie Pool Summer Days Plein Air Painting



"Kiddie Pool"
oil on panel 
6x6 "

Best. Dad. Ever.  We live in the woods on a glacial ridge.  Not the most conducive for a pool.  My dear husband scouted out the best possible spot in the yard.  He came home from Rural King with a big box of the best joy and 8 year boy could dream of for summer vacation.   Did I mention he did this on Father's  Day weekend?  

We had a storm roll through last night that knocked out the power all day.  No better place to spend a hot, soupy day.

Thanks hon.

Waterbug Swimming Pool Summer Impressionism Original Oil Painting


"Waterbug"
oil on panel
6x6"

Summer is here and the waterbugs are out.  I actually had this photo hanging in the cloud for about a year and finally getting around to painting it.  This reference photo is from a challenge over at Daily Paintworks.  I love the complimentary colors of sun-kissed skin in the cool waters.  The paint is still wet so there is some glare, I will re-post a better pic when it dries.
