DAY 13: Ramshackled

DAY 13:  "Ramshackled" 11x 14 oil on panel 
SOLD  
I was intrigued by this old tattered house for a number of years... one day, the light was just right and I quickly set up and painted as fast as I could.  On a later outing, and not long after this piece, I was stunned and saddened to discover nothing but an empty field where this old soldier once stood.

DAY 12: The Old Depot

DAY 12:  "The Old Depot" 11 x 11  oil on panel
SOLD
 Day 12's addition is a plein air painting I did a couple of years ago.  This little town is like a step back in time... reason being, it's located with a river on one side and a steep mountain/cliff on the other... it really can't grow and sprawl like so many places, there's a unique character here that I really like.

DAY 11: Morning At Paint Rock

DAY 11:  "Morning At Paint Rock" 18 x 24  oil on stretched linen
SOLD   
For DAY 11's addition, I decided to 'go big'! This beautiful stream was so inspiring to paint, the softness of the colors, the quiet, gentle water moving past was downright hypnotic! This painting's 'gallery price' is $2600... but this is a Fundraiser Super Special!

DAY 9: Cedar Ridge Afternoon

 DAY 8:  "Cedar Ridge Afternoon"  5.75" x 7.5" oil on panel   
SOLD
This spectacular old house has been under renovation for several years, and one that I've admired on many occasions.  I found that the brilliant afternoon sun hitting the facade contrasted with the beautiful slate roof made for a striking combination.

For this day's addition, this is a little plein air painting in one of the most beautiful and hidden spots near my home in North Carolina. I've painted this old house on several occasions, but with the morning light, I had to have another go.

DAY 7: Blue Pitcher With Minneolas And Amber Bottle

DAY 7:  "Blue Pitcher With Minneolas and Amber Bottle"  
8 x 8 oil on linen panel   


This marvelous blue pitcher that's featured, again, in DAY 7'S addition is another favorite of mine for still life painting.  I've never heard of a "minneola" before, but on a recent trip to Trader Joe's I immediately saw them paired with the pitcher.  I think the amber bottle adds a nice additional touch of interest.

DAY 6: Last Night's Flurries

DAY 6:  "Last Night's Flurries"  8 x 10 oil on panel   
SOLD
Here is DAY 6's addition: Dramatic foreground cast shadows are what inspired me on this plein air painting.  The cool darks of the ground vegetation and shadow colors helped with the illumination effect of the sunlight.
