Shady Spots and Flower Pots


I had such fun painting these flowers in their pots. The idea was simply to challenge myself to paint nine of them--odd numbers being so interesting--and see what happened. Individually the paintings please me, but together I think they made a really beautiful collection!

In order to show you how they look I'm including a shot I took before framing them, just loosely arranged on the table. You can see the individual paintings fairly well this way. (You'll notice they aren't in the same arrangement as when I matted them. I spent quite a while deciding on the perfect order for them!)


Each of these little 2.5" x 3.5" paintings would normally sell for $50.00 (unframed) in a gallery. That means this collected one at a time the nine paintings would cost you $450.00, and that's without the cream color double mat. Add a 20" x 16" white or natural wood frame--or even a green one, if you're the adventurous type--and the presentation will be quite stunning.

Matted and ready to frame, these nine paintings will only cost you $300.00.
Shipping within the USA is only $30.00. International shipping price on request.

Red Cliff-SOLD

I just want to let you all know that I'm now selling my work via Daily Paintworks! I'm delighted to be a  part of this growing and active group. I'll list paintings up for auction--starting at only $25.00. Check out my gallery there. I have two paintings up for auction already!


I love the towering red cliffs we see around here in New Mexico. They're such a delightful contrast with the surrounding greens and the blue sky. It took me a while to recognize that to get the striations in the layered rocks to read correctly I needed to paint them in perspective, but it's not stringent the way architecture is, just gently receding into space.
