Winter Blues

Day Three - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
 6"x8" Oil on board
$90+s/h
It's day three already and it's another landscape! Still around the Estuary but this time one morning in winter...love the way the weed changes colors!  I am away until tomorrow, so I'm one day  without painting. There will be paint brushes working furiously when I get back home! I'm not sure yet if the next one will be a landscape, I have so many things in mind!

Day #2 in  Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!  So far so good,but it's early days! I am feeling enthusiastic and positive...just have to hope there are no wipers! This is another part of the Estuary...it's a special place for me as far as painting goes, there is so much color and everyday the light changes...there is always something to paint!! Love it!!

Well it is January 2nd and this is my first painting for Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Every day this month I will post a small painting... or at least try! It's certainly going to be a mission to get one done every day, but I will give it my best shot! I am looking forward to taking part in it and seeing all the other paintings, it's exciting! I haven't got any theme in mind and will continue to paint life around me.  This is the Estuary I walk by  every morning...my favourite time of the day it's so nice and quiet!

Sweet Cherries

6"x8" Oil on board

A painting to celebrate Christmas!! 
This is the first lot of cherries I bought this season. They are so sweet and absolutely delicious, so they didn't last long after I had finished painting them!! I loved setting this up because it only took a few minutes and there isn't much you need to add....the cherries are the stars of the show!!

Thursday's Sunset

6x8 Oil on board

Our sunset on Thursday night this week! This is the view across to the Estuary  from my studio window, we have some beautiful sunsets!! I find them difficult to paint because they almost look artificial, so it's good practice for me. I couldn't let this pass without having a go!

Mellow Yellow

6x6" Oil on board
SOLD

Another little pot my friend gave me...I have painted the turquoise  and pink ones,  this is the last of them. I love them all and will no doubt use them again in my paintings! The daisies are from my garden and I will probably paint more of them too! I love small pots with just one or two flowers...like to keep it simple!!
