Blue Vase w Flowers

I just decided to add some larger paintings that I have done before the daily painters group closes. Enjoy! You can buy this painting on my ebay store....midwest-fine-art.com

Three at the Shore

I just finished this little painting and it has a bit of a glare from wet paint. The darks will not have that glare tomorrow. This is a little 6x6 painting in oil on stretched canvas. The colors are clear and bright on the figures and the background is more of a very pastel yellow ochre mix. This painting will start at $99 on ebay today and run for a week. click here to go to my ebay site:

Cedars in Snow

I just finished this little painting. This one is 11x14. I liked it so much that I am planning to do a small series of these little trees in the 6x6 size and put them here on the blog and on ebay. Normally we don't get this much snow here in Oklahoma but the old saying, "when you get lemons, make lemonaide," kinda works here too..... when you get snowed in, do some snow paintings! This little scene is just a few blocks from my house. Enjoy and check back later to snap up one of the little 6x6's. You may purchase this painting by going to midwest-fine-art. Questions, write me at artistswaygallery@yahoo.com

Tomato on a Green Plate

I reworked an older painting to go in a series of fruit on plates. Anyways here is the new one! I just listed it on ebay but haven't put it on auction so it is listed at the retail price. It is oil on stretched canvas as are most of mine. It is 6x6. Write if interested or place a bid on ebay.

This is the last one in a series of cedars paintings that I have done. This one is 8x10 on stretched canvas and framed with a simple slat frame. I don't know how many times I have passed this scene before being struck by the beauty one day as I drove home from painting class. Perhaps it is the painting that helps us to be open to seeing the beauty of the things that surround us? Anyways..... This is a little hill side that sits right off the highway next to the college that is near my house. I loved how the deep shadows filled the unusually bright hillside. It was at the gloaming of the day. My favorite time! I drove by, turned the car around and parked long enough to create a lovely little painting. It will be on my ebay site this week. If you are interested you may write me or go directly to bid on it at midwest-fine-art.com

Katharina

We have been out of school forever around here because of ice and snow. That is the bad news. The good news is that I have a lovely foreign exchange student who is willing and able to model for our portrait group.

A Little Beach Talk 6x6 Oil on Canvas SOLD

As the ice is slowing everyone else down around here, it is causing creativity to flow in me. I am having such fun being snowed in. This bright little painting warmed me up better ( well almost better ) than a nice cup of hot chocolate! I will try to get a better picture out tommorrow when the sun comes out. It really is not blurry although it is impressionistic. I may have to play around a little more with my beach pics tomorrow as I bet my college class will be cancelled yet again. Oh, If you are interested in this painting please write. I will probably put it on ebay in the next day or so.

Macintosh Apple on a Green Plate 6x6 SOLD

Well, I am still iced in and I must say.... loving it! Nothing to do but paint. I am getting around to correcting paintings that have been sitting around begging for attention for years and working on a few bright little fun 6x6s. Here is my 6x6 oil on stretched canvas. When I was a little girl I lived in upstate NY where the Macintosh was the king of apples... or was it Queen? Anyways I ran across some in the supermarket and stocked up. Haven't been able to get out in this ice but went scrounging around in the fridge and thought I would paint an apple. Here ya go! Apple on a Green Plate. for auction on ebay starting at $99. Yum!

South Carolina Fruit Stand, Oil 6x6

On my bi-annual trip back to the beach I cataloged my trip with my camera so that I could paint those nice warm beach figures in my Oklahoma winter. Next best thing to a hot cup of coco to warm a person up. We stopped on the way home to get an ice cream cone at a roadside stand. I loved the bright colors of all the fruit. They went well with all of my bright beach figure paintings. Anyways this one is here for bid on ebay this week. I really liked the way it turned out and tried taking a photo of it w both of my digital cameras, with and without a flash, each one with different results and neither one really captured it. It is a little brighter than the photo here and the left side box isn't so blue as it shows up here. It is a bit greyer. Everything is a bit sharper yet looks very impressionistic. This is a bit more complicated than my one object paintings and starts at a higher price. It is a winner. ( in my humble opinion ) Starts at $99 midwest-fine-art

Red Tomato

I figured I could squeeze one more tomato painting out of this little tomato before it goes bad or I eat it. These little paintings always look better in real life as my camera just doesn't capture them as well as I would like. This one is 6x6 on stretched canvas. It is an oil painting as all of mine are. It just got added to my ebay auction and can be bid on through there by clicking here or on the other midwest-fine-art.com button on the side of the blog.
