Magpies in the Poppy Garden

MAGPIES IN THE POPPY GARDEN

2 ft. x 4 ft.

Oil on Board

I have been painting this fun piece for several days now while I worked on other projects. My original idea consisted of painting these wonderful poppies in a garden piece, but as I worked on the garden, suddenly a hand-built bird bath started to appear. I had seen this wonderful bird bath in my wanderings this summer... and now it became part of this painting... a day later, and the magpies walked into the painting.... That is the wonderment of painting! Or at least my paintings. These paintings are truly creations, and they create themselves. I feel I am just there to hold the brush and figure out how to make all these elements work together. This fanciful painting sells for $1,500.00. Send me an e-mail for more information and to leave your shipping address. Wouldn't this make a wonderful painting in a child's room?

Dahlia Garden Diptych

DAHLIA GARDEN -- DIPTYCH 

30 inches x 5 ft

Oil on Board

The size of this painting puts you right in the middle of this garden. The colors glow, and are set off by the dark background. It is painted in oils on two 30 x 30 boards. This is the arrangement I like best, but it can also be arranged with the orange-red dahlia's in the middle.  This painting sells for $2,400.00 and includes shipping in the continental USA.

Purple Beebalm

 PURPLE BEE BALM

7x7 Oil on Board

Purple bee balm is a wild form of the plant. Since we had ample moisture this summer, there were many stands of this plant blooming around town. I find the color of it's blossoms amazing, and against the vibrant blue of our Rocky Mountain skies, it is stunning! This painting sells for $85.00 and includes shipping in the continental USA.

Peach Poppies

PEACH POPPIES

15 X 15 OIL ON BOARD

Who can resist a lovely bunch of peach poppies? The color alone seems to stop folks in their tracks to stop and admire them. I found these poppies in a lovely street side garden earlier this summer. For this painting I used an oil wash for the background, brushwork on the background flowers and a pallet knife for the poppies in the foreground. This painting is varnished and ready to hang, no frame is needed. Price: $295.00 and it includes free shipping in the continental USA.

Milkweed Garden

MILKWEED GARDEN

15 X 15 Oil on Board

A rather unusual plant is making it's way back into the perennial garden and that plant is the milkweed. Although this plant was quite plentiful in my childhood, the use of modern herbicides has had a major effect on it's decline. The round red buds of the milkweed open to pinky-white star-bursts in round clusters that hang from this plant, like a Christmas ornament out of season. However, the best part of the milkweed would be the lush green leaves which provide food for the caterpillar of the monarch butterfly. And since I love butterflies, this is a perfect addition in today's garden. This original oil painting sells for $295.00 and includes free shipping in the continental USA.
