Still Life Red Pepper, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Kitchen Art, 6x8" Oil on Panel, SOLD

I find I have missed painting still life, so it has been fun catching up on it over the last week.

If I could just stop sleeping, I would have an additional 5 or 6 hours a day to paint.

Maybe then I would have enough time to paint both my still life and my landscapes.....but what about the abstract/mixed media  I also want to try?  Maybe I better work on growing another set of arms instead!

Life is hard when you're retired!!

Poppy Floral Painting, Poppies Flower Art, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 11x14x1.5" Oil on Canvas

One of the great things about living in Asheville, are the poppies!  I loved living in Florida, but it's hard to beat a great yard full of poppies, and hydrangea.

This is a palette knife painting, with lots of texture, and a background ranging from a pale yellow green to medium grey blue.

Shipping is free on my Etsy site.

Have a great day, and thanks for visiting my blog.

Hydrangea Painting, Blue Floral Painting, Still Life Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD

SOLD

I picked these hydrangea from my garden and was compelled to paint them.  Hydrangea are probably my very favorite flowers and I love the summer months when my home is surrounded with their massive blooms.

I wanted to keep the painting as simple as the pitcher and mug.

Floral Still Life, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Pink Flower Art, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel

I have been doing a few palette knife paintings, recently.

Purchase Here

I think, I could be a much better artist, if I were to limit my techniques and subject matter to one type, but I also think that would be rather boring!

Variety of the spice of life......right?

I am fortunate and do not have to financially support myself, with my art, so I can indulge myself, in this way.  Others are not.  Still others do not have the desire to jump around, but are focused totally on one technique or subject.

Is there a right or wrong?

Thanks for viewing my art today.

Small Floral Still Life. Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Flower Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil

Still playing catch up!  In retrospect, it was probably not a good idea to be out of state three months, attend a 4 day workshop and accept almost 20 commissions just weeks before the holidays.

So although I was painting every day, I struggled to find new works that I could show on my blog at that time.

I did manage to do this one:

185 + shipping

 I really enjoyed painting something that I wanted to paint, and I think it shows.  Free and easy strokes and a touch of whimsy.
