A Good Composition Never Dies Iris Painting
Ball Jar with Irises 12"x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas N/AClick image to see bigger.
This painting and the two below it will be placed in an upscale boutique...more information when it actually happens. Paint must dry, frames must be acquired! Painting is always fun, but it's more fun when you know the painting will go into the real world and be seen by real people, live. (Yeah, I know I don't get out enough, whatever. :) The internet is wonderful and I'm very fortunate to live in an age where my paintings can and do sell online. However, brushwork/texture, scale and many intangible qualities original art has to offer are best experienced in life.

Photo of me w/supersized paintings.
Yes, it's yours truly. These paintings will ship out soon and I wanted to document them a little better first... I know the backyard grass is brown but hey, this is Cleveland and there was a foot of snow on the ground less than a month ago. Thanks go to hot husband for his fantastic photography.
I was tagged by artist/blogger Kelley MacDonald. Thank you, Kelley! It's an honor to be chosen! By tagging me, she is saying she thinks my blog is fabulous. Kelley paints fruit, flowers and more. She has unique style of painting and always interesting observations to accompany the work--a worthwhile blog visit to be sure.Here's the rules: 1. Link to the person who tagged you 2. Post the rules in your blog 3. Write five random things about yourself 4. Tag random people at the end of your post, with links 5. Let each person know they've been tagged
Here's 5 random things about me: I was in an unpleasant funk when I received this award, it is greatly appreciated. When I was 15, I was pretty sure I'd be a glamorous horse trainer. If you saw me on Halloween, you'd be really scared. I think Oprah is super. I take too many pictures (shocker, right?)
Here's some "random" tags:

Daffy & Bud plus obscure rambling
Daffy & Bud 6" x 6" Oil on Canvas Panel $95.Click image to see bigger.
You know how some days, the only thing you are good for is busy work? Like taking the newspapers out to the recycle bin, sweeping the kitchen floor and maybe re-arranging a few things and/or making a to-do list for future reference? I had a couple of those days... The good thing about busy work is coming back to what you should have been doing and realizing you can still do it.

More Rolling Sunflowers
Another set of rolling sunflowers... This time, I changed the stem color from emerald greens to more moss/designer neutral. I've said it before and I'll say it again: We do love the designers. ...and we love doing special projects for designers, yeppers. Yes Ma'am. These need a few finishing touches which I will do tomorrow morning.

Earthtone Tulips: Supersized.
Believe it or not, this is the best photo I could get of this new supersized painting! It's 22x22 and still soaking wet, thus the unpleasant glare... The first one was 12x12, seen here also.

Lucky 7: Supersized.
This painting is a re-do of Lucky 7, there's a picture of me holding that one a few entries back... The target size is 22x22, so I re-arranged Lucky 7 to make it work. Maybe this one will be called Lucky 5? nodp

Moonbeams & Daffodils
Moonbeams & Daffodils 6" x 6" Oil on Canvas Panel $95. SOLDClick image to see bigger.
diane@dianehoeptner.com
I bought a bouquet of daffodils (for less than $2 at Trader Joes and don't even get me started on how much I do LOVE that store.) This flower conjures all manner of spring fever and it makes you wanna take your shoes off and run through a green field. That'll have to wait though, Cleveland's not done with winter just yet. It's in the low 40's and we may see some snow before the week ends.

Picture of Me with Paintings + a Daily Painting
Here's a picture of me looking sort of grumpy for which I do apologize, (: -- I'm holding two recent paintings, both of which were accepted into the "Artistic by Nature" juried exhibit at the Bay Arts Gallery in Bay Village, OH. I think judging for the show occurs this week, with the reception happening Friday! I'm delighted to be participating.

This week's Ebay offering.
This painting feels like an "oldie" to me, even though I painted it just four months ago... It's the first time I successfully painted a "grayed" down background and had it work. This painting is being offered here on Ebay with a low starting price and no reserve. Auction ends this Sunday.

Earthtone Tulips
Earthtone Tulips 12" x 12" Oil on Canvas Panel N/AClick image to see bigger.
I'm seem to be focussing on a few issues: more interesting edges, using less white for bright and (always) color,color,color. If this composition looks familiar, I painted it here. I wanted to try it again ...but this time with more "commercial" colors & bigger.
