Muted Melody White Flower Painting
Muted Melody 8"x 8" Oil on Board $175.Click image to see bigger.
This painting began with some "outlines" and "accents" in dioxazine purple mixed with some white... I thought I'd have some clever peek throughs with it, but wow the dioxazine purple is strong and it tinted everything that went after it!! I spent the better part of an hour fighting it back with a warm ochre neutral... You can still see a generally purple/lavender influence there in the background. Not unhappy with it, it's just not exactly what I intended.

Well, it's been a busy couple of days. My awesome Cleveland dealer found me wall space at the 78th St. Studios show, last minute yesterday! I assembled quite a few paintings into frames on hand and printed out labels for all in just a couple hours. The event takes place in a really neat OLD industrial building that's been converted to lofts and live-in/work and gallery spaces. It's all huge service elevators, sliding steel doors and exposed beams! Today is the last day, may try to post pictures later!

Thursday's Blooms 8"x 8" Oil on Board/Framed Both $355.Click image to see bigger.
I'm making an effort to exhibit only paintings that are framed. Yes, it's the tulips again! I never get sick of painting these. They are still wet, but I already acquired frames for them... I couldn't wait to see what they would look like in the frames so I photo-shopped these.

Fellow Art Bloggers: Does the obligation to say something interesting interfere with your blogging pleasure? I find myself laboring over certain entries. Rules do apply: No art-speak, no bad mouthing my own work, if I'm really happy with a painting I try not to use the word "love" more than three times, heh, and no writing about projects before they actually happen. Furthermore, it seems like the most interesting thing that happens to me some days is my studio time. ...and how many times can you rave about that? Ideally, my paintings would speak for themselves: "I'm incredibly exciting" "I sneak up on you" and "I have eye popping qualities." On a related note: I love, love, love this painting.

Second Cousin Sunflower Painting
This pottery vase is more spectacular than how I painted it. There's drippy bright sienna brown paint around the top... and neat black spots on top of the matte finish brown glaze. Details you miss if you squint... Yes, a little more detailing than I could manage on this fine Monday.

Paint 'em again, Di. Yellow & Red Poppies I & II
Someone-in-the-know told me the first set of square poppies (see a few entries below) had two much distracting dark green stuff/stems at the bottom... This time around I replaced the greens with lighter less offensive colors and wowee, yeppers she surely was right! I LOVE these!!! I may have to do more. Each of these paintings measures 12" x 12" and they'll be available at Mulholland & Sach's on the Eastside of Cleveland mid month sometime. Maybe today, finally will photograph the sunflowers.

Starry Daffodil
I painted this same daffodil in March of this year, here. I like 'em both, but this one has a more subtle quality in colors and edges than the first... In related news, it was a rainy and overcast day in Cleveland today. So much so, that I postponed photographing my beautiful sunflowers 'til tomorrow.
