Ocracoke Garden, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Original Wall Decor, Outer Banks, NC

A recent trip to Ocracoke, supplied me with some new painting inspiration. The island is covered in cedar trees, that have grown in their twisted, windblown contortions. Beauty is everywhere you look.

Purchase here

The island is located 40 miles off shore of mainland North Carolina, and involves a 2.5 hour ferry ride. Once on the island, the primary mode of transportation are bicycles and golf carts.

Beautiful marshes on the sound side, and wonderful beaches on the ocean side.

We cannot wait to return!

Sunflower Painting, Field of Sunflowers, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil Painting, SOLD

Sunflowers always make me smile! This little painting is no exception!

SOLD

I used both a brush and knife on this piece. I wanted some texture, and also vibrant colors. I tried to make the colors play off one another.

MY ART ON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

Sometimes, painting comes much more easily than others. I painted this and one other landscape that I am happy with.........and then the bottom fell out! I wiped and wiped and wiped. I couldn't seem to do anything right! Finally I turned to acrylic pouring as a distraction. I have been doing pouring exclusively for the last few weeks.

I am hoping this little journey into a related, but different type of work, will get me back on track again. More to come!

Thanks for viewing my blog today!

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Blue Paintings

I like to post on facebook, as I am sure many of you do too. I started a group called "Online Artists" to give self-representing artists another place to post their work. Every week I "suggest" a theme for the artists to follow, although it is not mandatory by any means. A few times, the theme has been a specific color, which I really enjoyed. So today, I decided to post "blue" paintings for you here.

Swirls
8x10x.75"

I really had fun with this textured piece!

Geisha
6x8" canvas panel

What is it about oriental culture that is so fascinating?

Blue Lagoon
6x8" on canvas panel

A view of the intracoastal waterway in Grant Florida. This is close to my home.

Mountain Farm
8x10" canvas panel

A view of our neighbor's farm in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. One of the most beautiful scenes on earth, I have painted this farm dozens of times.

Misty Morning
12x12x1.5" canvas

The mountains are absolutely gorgeous when the sun comes up and burns off the morning mist.

A Touch of Blue
6x8" on canvas panel

A Florida sky. The coastal areas are often filled with fluffy clouds as the afternoon hot air from the west collides with the cool sea breezes from the east.

Candlestick with Palm Shadows
4x12x1.5" canvas

I love to set objects on my windowsill in front of these cool shadows from a palm tree.

Antique Bottles
8x10 canvas panel

From my antique bottle collection.

Seascape with sunset
11x14x1.5" canvas

I had to put a seascape in here somewhere!

Well, that's it for celebrating blue today! I hope you will join us on facebook. Just go to your account and search for Online Artists. We would love to have you join in the fun.

I hope you have BLUE skies today.

Yellow Paintings, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Yellow Art, daily art

This time of the year is so hectic. Now that I think about it, every time of the year has been hectic lately!

I am busy painting several large commissions, so for the moment, my daily paintings are scarce. I decided to post some older works, and the theme I chose today is yellow.
