Autumn Favorites

"Autumn Favorites" is an 8 x 10" oil painting of a unusual spotted pumpkin and two red, ripe apples. A friend gifted me this pumpkin and with it's lovely color and spots and curly stem, it just had to be painted.  I paired it with two red apples on a simple cloth.

Pumpkins for Sale

"Pumpkins for Sale" is a watercolor painting, 10.25" x 14" done on Arches Acid Free watercolor paper.  It was from a photo of a large display of beautiful pumpkins on a local farm just up the road.  The bright orange display, along with the yellow mums tucked underneath, were just perfect for the Autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving!

First at the Beach

SOLD

"First at the Beach" is a 8 x 10 pastel, painted on UArt pastel paper with hard and soft pastels. If you follow the path to the water you can see someone has arrived early with a chair and umbrella set up.

This painting is unframed, and will be shipped with a protective glassine paper over to keep the pastel from any smudging while in transit.

PUMPKINS AND APPLES

PUMPKINS AND APPLES is a large pastel, 16" x 16" painted on LaCarte paper.  It's a typical theme for this time of year, when both apples and pumpkins are in abundance and reminding us of Fall and Thanksgiving to come.
You can find this artwork in Daily Paintworks or my Etsy shop, Vikki Bouffard

Fabulous Fall

SOLD

It's hard to resist the combination of bright pumpkins and beautiful fall mums.  It was fun setting up this still life with a favorite pitcher outside on the grass strewn with some fallen leaves.  This is a 6" x 6" oil on canvas in a black floater frame.  Hope you enjoy this little painting as a symbol of a day in the Fall in New England.

Radishes

"Radishes" is a 8 x 8  original pastel painted from life.  A quick rinse brought up all the intense colors and highlights--I just had to paint this little bunch of radishes.  Sweet for a kitchen to add a pop of color.

Grazing

"Grazing" is a pastel, 11 x 13",  matted to 13 x 15" with an acid-free off-white mat and acid free black foam spacer mat.  The location is New Pond Farm in West Redding, Ct, a beautiful setting known for it's cheerful yellow and white buildings and lots of white fencing.  This little piece is for the animal lover, or great for a child's room.

First at the Beach

"First at the Beach" is an 8 x 10 pastel.  You can follow the beach path down to the water and see a lone umbrella and chairs set up--someone arrived early!  You will find this piece in my Etsy Shop and also through Daily Paintworks.  Thinking summer!

Birches in Winter

A wintery landscape can be a beautiful thing, especially when you know Spring is just around the corner.  The bushes and trees begin to have just a little bit of extra color so you know Spring is on the way.  This is an 8 x 10 pastel painting which shows, I hope, the last snowfall of the Winter!

Purple Shutters

"Purple Shutters" is an ink and wash in watercolor done on Arches 140# acid free paper.
It depicts one of the many romantic windows and window boxes found on some of the old, picturesque buildings in Europe.  I always love to see the vivid displays that are created with the patina of these old buildings as the backdrop.  This piece is 6.5 x 9.5".

Nantucket Window

"Nantucket Window" is an ink and wash watercolor depicting a flower-filled window in the summertime.  Nantucket is famous for it's washed grey shingled homes with abundant flowers.  The painting is 6.75 x 6.75 approximately, and with a deckle edge to the watercolor paper.  It will come mounted on a white mat to 10" x 10".

Old World Window

"Old World Window" is an ink and wash watercolor vignette.  It shows a beautiful display of yellow flowers nestled in the windowsill of an old, lovely building.  I love visiting Europe because there are so many charming scenes like this one.  This is done on 140# Arches watercolor paper and the image is vignetted to 6.25 x 9.25 inches.  Hope you enjoy viewing this old world scene.

Tuscan Window

Tuscan Window is an ink and wash type of watercolor.  It is painted on Arches watercolor paper, which has a deckle edge.  I am showing it float mounted on a mat board, but it could also be overmatted in the traditional manner.  The painting itself is 7 x 7" and mounted on a mat as shown,  would be 10 x 10".  I call this Tuscan Window, but it could easily be anywhere in Europe with ancient stone buildings, beautiful flowers and shutters.
