Grapes for Harvest

This watercolor painting reminds me of the beautiful vineyards in Italy and France.  You see them stretching out over undulating hills, often with a rose bush planted at the beginning of the row of vines.  This is painted on acid free watercolor paper with Daniel Smith watercolors and is approx. 8.5 x 10.5".  It was fun, but challenging, to paint this subject.  I needed a glass of wine afterward!
You will find this for sale on my Daily Paintworks page and my Etsy shop also.

Blue Door #21

SOLD
Beautiful doorways in Italy are a common scene.  This one, in a beautiful old stone building was enhanced with gorgeous potted shrubs and flowers, just waiting to greet you.  This watercolor is 8.25 x 10.25", painted on Strathmore acid free watercolor paper, with Daniel Smith watercolors.  If you can't make a trip to Italy, you can visit with this little painting.

Poppies

"Poppies" is a small watercolor, 7" x 10", float mounted on a neutral dark gray mat.  The mat measures 11 x 14" for ease of framing.  This is a casual piece showing the rhythm of poppies arranged across the watercolor paper.

Light Along the Trail

A recent walk in our near nature preserve inspired this painting.  Sunlight filters through the trees and catches coppery leaves, still hanging on despite the onset of winter.  That's tenacity for you!  This 8.75 x 11" pastel comes matted to 15 x 17".
Hope you soon enjoy your own "walk in the woods".

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.
