Oil on panel

Peonies by the garden shed.  The morning sun was filtering through the trees creating a beautiful dappled light.  This painting pairs nicely with the painting I posted yesterday.
Enjoy your weekend.  It is quite hot here, we are headed to a nearby lake to swim.

Peony Garden Still Life Floral Impressionism Original Oil Painting



"June Peony"
oil on panel

A very sweet neighbor gave me starts from her gorgeous peonies.  Their blooms are so big and lovely.  They fade too quickly but I think that reminds me to appreciate them more.

Bocce Ball Boy at Play Impressionism Original Contemporary Oil Painting


nfs
"Bocce Ball"
oil on panel 
6x6"

A sweet young boy runs to see who gets a point in a game of bocce ball.

On mother's day we set up a badminton set for the day.  The birdies were a bit mangled and flying in all directions.  The older kids decided to the store to get new birdies.  They came home so excited, they found a bocce ball set on clearance!  We played all afternoon.

I call these my chunky paintings.   A simplified design with bold color and big brushstrokes.  This scene is full of whimsy due to the big clouds rolling through.

Early Light Morning Landscape Original Oil Painting


"Early Light"
oil on panel
6x6"

This painting is in the raw.  I used the color of the un-primed panel as part of the painting.  I have a few of these in my collection and just love the effect.  The panel is sanded and I have some of these paintings that are 10 years old and have held up as well as primed surfaces.  I like the violet light of the hazy early light.
