A Few Larger Paintings

Okay, I don't always paint small...just when I'm painting outdoors or getting ready for a small works show. Here's a few of my larger paintings.

Blue Barns, 24"x18", oil on canvas, $675 ($750 framed in black)

This painting began as a single barn and was true to the landscape in front of me. But when it was finished, I noticed that the painting had somehow ended up looking like three very boring, horizontal stripes. So I let my imagination take over and was much happier with the end result.

Four of a Kind, 30"x15", oil on canvas, $700 ($770 framed in black) SOLD

Who knew someone who has spent most of her adult life in New York City would love painting cows? There's just something about them that makes me so attracted to painting them.

Summer Harvest, 28"x22", oil on canvas, $850 ($925 framed in black)

A gorgeous summer day with the rolling hills of Bath County covered in hay bales...more than I could resist!

Three Amigos, triptych, 10"x20" each, oil on canvas (framed separately), $1160 for 3 ($430 each) SOLD

I was inspired to paint this triptych by the gorgeous, delicate flowers in the Conservatory at the botanical gardens and a room filled with the flowers and exotic butterflies. The lovely shapes created by the light coming through the glass dome made it a perfect subject.

Dance of the Coy, triptych, 80"x20", oil on canvas, $3000

I was inspired to paint this triptych by koi swimming around in a feeding frenzy at Maymont. They brought to mind such wonderful memories from childhood...the gorgeous koi that inhabited the lake behind our home that Dad would catch every summer for our large fish pond and release back into the lake in the fall. The triptych has 20"x20" panels on each side, with a center panel measuring 40"x20". It is framed as one piece.
