Cool lighting on this. Back light on the slice, direct light and reflected light on the half.

"Smokey Mountain View" 4" x 4" acrylic

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

Here's a painting of a view in the Smokey Mountains. If you haven't been there I would suggest you visit. For those of you that live in the Western U.S. you might not think these are mountains but it's what we have here in the east. I never get tired of looking at them and as you look farther in the distance each layer turns a lighter shade of blue and kind of looks "smokey".
ENJOY!

"Barn Near Triune, TN" 6" x 6" acrylic on panel

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

Here's a painting of a barn near Triune, TN. Triune is a really small town in middle Tennessee. Another thing that's close to Triune is the castle that's in the Taylor Swift "Love Story" video. It's a private residence that they let them use in the video.
ENJOY!

"Colored Marbles Refracted" 8" x 8" oil on canvas panel

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

I really like how objects refract in glass. In this case going through the clear marble actually flips the image upside down and reverses it.
ENJOY!

Here's another little oil sketch. It's a 4" x 4" oil on hardboard panel. Love the color of blue in the sky on a sunny, low humidity day.
ENJOY!

"Water Glass w/ Lemon oil sketch" 4" x 4" oil

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

Here's another little 4" x 4" oil sketch. I'm working on several of these in a square format. I'm planning on picking some of them for larger paintings. I'm working on composition and color with these little ones.
ENJOY!

"Two Roses" 4" x 4" oil on hardboard panel

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

This one is done in black and white oil paint only. Some of the umberish color you see is some of the underpainting coming through.
ENJOY!

"Strawberries" 4" x 4" oil on hardboard panel

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

Here's another looser style painting. Again I toned the board on this one too.
ENJOY!

"Orchid" 4" x 4" oil on hardboard panel

(click here to bid) or to check other auctions.

In these next few posts I loosened up a bit. I wanted to leave the brush strokes more visible than I usually do. I also toned the boards with burnt umber/ultramarine blue mix before I started painting. I'm pretty happy with the way these turned out.
ENJOY!
