Tray and 3 small paintings

I continue to work on my small painting collection.  I have added three more to the series. 

Here are close-ups of the three 6X6 paintings.  They are "Bluebird", "Cardinal" and "Mare & Foal"

I also finished one more project which is a tray. I did it in mono chromatic colors. 

The weather here has been lousy.   It is mid April and winter seems to go on and on.  We had a taste of spring last week when the temps were near 70 and we were able to take a walk a few days in a row but then on Friday the cold came back and will continue on for the rest of the week.  UGH.  I sure wish I was back in AZ right now.  The cold outside means I will stay inside and paint.

I bought a dozen more small canvases to paint.   I haven't done a large painting for awhile.  I like working on the small stuff for now. I usually work on three at a time. Here are the ideas I came up with for the next three.  I have a new pattern that is an old truck.  Another is my "Endless Rose" painting that I have sold many times in the past.  I've enjoyed painting birds in this series so the third canvas will be a humming bird. 

Small Painting Series Continues

I completed three 5X7 paintings to add to my small painting collection.  These are all new designs.  So much of what I do is new versions of paintings that I have done in the past.  Because they are popular designs that have sold I will paint them many times but I realize I must come up with new ideas so I am not doing the same things over and over again. It would be easy if I sold prints of my work but I have never done that so each painting I do is an original hand painted piece.  Here are my latest creations.

I call this one "Bird and Blossoms"  My inspiration came from a greeting card I received from a friend.

This is "Fall on the Farm".  I used to do paintings featuring barns when I lived in OH.  Since we are surrounded with farms here in MI I thought a barn might be good subject matter.

I enjoy painting sunflowers so did this one called "Sunflowers & Berries"

I have three 6X6 sized canvas prepped with the base coat.  I haven't decided what subjects I will paint on them.  I also have a small tray ready for me to come up with an idea for it also.  I usually just stare at the canvas for awhile till I visualize something that I think will look good.  I'll post photos once the paintings are done.
