If a painting stays at my house for over a year....

They say a painting is never finished until the artist sells it.  If you leave them with us long enough and we are constantly growing as artists, we sometimes see things that we either missed or that might make our painting a better painting.  that is what happened with this painting.  The painting was "competed " around 10 years ago.The dark background was painted a couple of weeks ago.  You may also some more subtle changes to the face and hair.
To bid on the painting as it is now.... Click Here  This link will take you into my ebay gallery.

The courtyard at an Abby in Provence, France oil painting

To Bid or visit my Ebay gallery, CLICK HERE


A couple of years ago we had the pleasure of visiting a friend who happens to be a sister at this wonderful abbey in Provence.  I can't think of a better vacation... someone else doing the cooking... cooking fresh from the garden in the French way, eating in the courtyard with new friends from around the world, and left to my own devices during the day to paint.  Everywhere I looked was beauty, poppies in the fields, almond orchards, lavender fields.... everywhere I turned.

Berry Picker

One of the girls from the wildcrafting group that I belong to ( think wild food foraging ) sent me this photo of her grand daughter who was picking berries at a creek near our house.  I asked if I could use the photo to create a painting and she said, " yes." This one is on my ebay auction right now where you are more then welcome to bid on it.  If you click the link, you will find yourself on the page where you can view, bid, or visit the rest of my ebay gallery.  Click Here

Still Life with lemons and Silver by Margaret Aycock


This is a little peek into my class.  The top pic is about day 3 on our still life and the bottom one is a nearly finished painting that I did as the demo.  I think I will play w the bowl a little before signing it and maybe the foreground.
Would you like to bid on this piece on ebay, or visit my ebay gallery for more painting auctions?  Click Here.

Prints are ready!

I recently posted a couple paintings on facebook and got tons of feedback with 3 different people wanting me to make prints of them so I took them to the giclee guy who is scanning them tomorrow only to have 2 of the guys back out saying they couldn't afford it. and that was with prices starting at $75 for an 11x14!!! So I have the expense of getting them scanned and proofed so I figured I would throw it out there. Anyone know someone who wants a cool print ( 8x10 $25, 16x20 $95, 20x24 $145 )
The original is 20x24 and sells for $1800.
Send me a note if you are interested in any of the above and I will get back with you w a paypal address or we can do it by phone or email on Square.  I am throwing a couple other ideas atcha' below... a couple other favorites that would make great giclees.  (same price for paper or canvas unstretched)
