Lamb Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Art,

This is one of my earlier paintings, of a small lamb, walking a Scottish moor.

I painted with palette knife and brush and tried to get lots of texture in it. I liked the rugged feel. I have never been on the moors, but I think they would feel rugged and cold and windy.

I painted a ram a few months ago, which I like to think is this lamb's daddy. You can view it here

Have a wonderful week!

Palette Knife Paintings and Technique

The most enjoyable experiences, I get out of painting, almost always involves a palette knife. I may start out with a brush in hand, but eventually the knife takes over.

This was my first experience. I started on a canvas with a half finished painting. One I had lost interest in ever finishing.

If you are interested in painting with a palette knife, you might want to check out this tutorial. I found it to be very helpful.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Mountain Landscape Painting, 6x8" Oil, "High in the Sky"

If you live in Colorado, you probably don't consider 6,000+ feet as high in the sky. That is the altitude of Water Rock Knob, North Carolina, which is depicted in this daily painting

purchase here
110 + shipping

I returned from a week touring Colorado. It is incredibly beautiful and wild. Where else can you go to see a herd of antelope grazing, or big horn sheep! The prairie is as gorgeous as the mountains. I wasn't expecting the beauty of rolling hills, of mother deer with their fawns walking through the waist high grasses.

But this painting is from a kinder, gentler mountain. What is high in the Blue Ridge is a starting point in the Rockies! I love both places. Being a flatlander, I feel blessed to be able to visit these stunning landscapes.

Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Deep Purple Falls, Small Oil Painting, Fantasy Landscape, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel SOLD

Purchase here

I've got a thing for purples, lavenders, blues, blah, blah, blah.

I was in the Land O' Trees, better known as western North Carolina, when I painted this. In the summertime, I get green overload here. Green mountains, green grass, green leaves. You cannot escape green. Maybe that is why doing a purple and blue landscape appealed to me. More to come!

Clinging to the World, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Tree Landscape

This was a painting, I enjoyed creating! I don't know why, but some days every brushstroke is a struggle, and a few times, everything just falls into place.

For me, this was a" fall into place day".

SOLD

Good days and bad days. In the studio and out. That is the way of life. So, I try to enjoy the "good" and not let the" bad" become overwhelming.

Here's hoping today is a "Good" day for you!

Thanks for checking out my blog today!

Floral Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil SOLD

Inspired by my recent stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

SOLD

This lovely garden was at Lake Junaluska, just five minutes from our home. So sorry to say that it is the very area of western North Carolina that has been suffering from wildfires, burning for well over a month. We left before they got too close, but we did have one day with heavy smoke in the air.

The area was very dry and had no rain for the two months I was there. I am sad to say that most of the fires were purposely set.

What is happening to our country!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Yellow in Art, Yellow Paintings, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Paintings

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.
