About half of a project...

Here's a photo of half a dozen small oil paintings I finished (one 3x3 inches, a couple of 5x5, one 5x7, a couple of 6x6….) on stretched canvases and canvas panels. The subjects are some bonsai tree plants I grow. I intend to paint several more.

I took this photo of them still on the easel, but plan to frame them soon (pardon the background stuff in the room). As usual, I've re-sized the image and reduced the quality for uploading.

A painting of Danny's Riggs...

Here's a photo of a 10 by 20 inch oil portrait I finished of Riggs, a dog belonging to Danny who is the son of a friend named Mary Ellen.
I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed (the background stuff behind the canvas is just stuff in the room). As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

An 18x18 painting for Spring...

Here's a photo of an 18 by 18 inch oil painting on canvas I've been working on, on the easel and ready to frame, based on a Japanese maple tree MaryEllen gave to my sister. The stuff in the background can be ignored -- except maybe the tail of one of my cats on the left.

As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading (it may look a little more pink than the actual painting -- it could depend on the camera / phone).

A painting for year's end...

Here's a couple of photos of a 16 by 20 inch oil painting on wood I've been working on, on the easel and ready to frame, based on foliage of a backyard tree. As a lighting experiment, the colors look darker to me in the image taken under ceiling fluorescent bulbs, and greener in the photo taken closer to the window.

As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

Two tiny paintings for Robyn...

Here's photos of two tiny oil paintings I made of my friend Robyn's cat, Dorian Gray. The one showing the whole body is 5x7 inches, the one of just the face is 4x4, so it was difficult for me to get a picture in focus with my old camera, and, as usual, the image quality and size have been reduced for uploading purposes.

A painting by me for winter, 12x24...

Here's a photo of an oil painting I've been working on and am getting ready to frame. It's inspired by winter woods near my sister's house. The canvas is 2 feet long and 1 foot high (24 x 12 inches), drying on the easel (pardon the door and other items in the background). As usual, the image quality and size have been reduced for uploading purposes.

Painting of autumn woods, on wood, 16x20

Here's a photo of a 16 by 20 oil painting on wood that I'm pretty much finished working on, inspired by autumn woods near my sister's house.

I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed (the background stuff behind the panel is just stuff in the room), on a cloudy day: the fluorescent light on the ceiling may be washing out some of the more subtle colors. As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.
