Cape Cod Dunes




SOLD


Winter is just taking too long!  I'm thinking Spring and beyond--so here's a colored pencil painting of Cape Cod.  I love the snow fences and undulating dunes of the Cape.  This piece is done on Bristol smooth heavy stock and is double matted.  The inner mat is 1/8" white with a Warm White mat on top.  It's approx. 14" x 17" matted, with the piece itself being approx. 8" x 11".  Hope you enjoy my glimpse of warmer weather to come.
Here's the auction.

Yellow Barns ~ framed



SOLD



This painting is of one of my favorite areas in Connecticut--it's by the shore in Clinton and along a beautiful waterway crossing under Main Street.  This was in the summer, with lovely flowers blooming and the grasses along the water high and green.  You can catch a glimpse of Main Street with the church steeple on the right.  The watercolor painting itself is about 4" x 5.5", but it is double matted and framed in a 1.5" soft silvery-gold moulding, bringing it to 9.25 x 11.25" total.
 Hope if you're surrounded by snow you'll enjoy this little reminder of summer..

Framed ~ "Petals of Sunshine"



SOLD


Well, it's the last day of January and time for my final "clear the studio" listing.

I framed this piece in a 7/8" dark brown (almost black) wooden frame, which really makes the rose stand out and complements nicely the dark background of the painting.  The framed size is 11 1/4 x 11 1/4" so it's an easy piece to hang for a bright spot of color.  This watercolor was done on 140# cold press watercolor paper, and framed with acid free mats and backing and u.v. filtering glass.

Snowy Field at Sunset


SOLD



With the extremely cold weather we're experiencing, I had to post this scene of the farm field adjacent to our home.  I guess a trade off for the cold weather is the beautiful sunsets in winter.  This is an oil on canvas, 11 x 14.  There certainly is great beauty in all seasons, we just have to look for it.

Crimson Glow ~ Framed



Still in January organizing mode!  This small-ish watercolor piece is being offered framed.  It is not only double matted, but the mats are spaced apart by 1/8" to give the piece a real feeling of depth in the frame.  The frame is a 1" rich dark brown wood, with subtle lighter shading on the inside and outside edges.  The image area is 6.25" x 9", and the total dimension with the frame is 13 1/8" x 15 7/8".

The process for painting this piece is wet into wet and is done quickly and freely.  It's Winsor and Newton watercolors on Arches paper.  Enjoy!
