spring cleaning SALE

Hi everyone!

OK . . it may be a little early for spring cleaning but I clean when I'm inspired. Years ago I only painted when I was inspired but since I've been "painting daily" I've learned to just set up my tools and paint regardless of how I feel. Once I start I'm always happy to be working.

I've been cleaning up the studio and making room to store my paintings which are still available for sale. I could use more space for new work so I thought I'd have another sale.
You can view all the available paintings here on one scrollable page.


You can take 20% off which ever piece you are interested in buying.
Just email me with the name of the painting and I'll send you a PayPal invoice.
Shipping is still included in the price.

The SALE will end on March 31st.

Border Collie in goggles

5" by 7" daily pastel painting, unframed

I had to paint another granddog in goggles and yes, there was actually a photo! I still have 2 more dogs to go.

This is Abbey, who belongs to my son Jesse and his girlfriend Kay. She's such a beauty and the smartest dog I've ever met. I'm including a photo of her so you can see how beautiful she is.

Corgi in goggles

5" by 7" daily pastel painting, unframed

This is Felix, my mother's dog. It seems that my daughter gets a kick out of the dogs in goggles because there's still one more to paint.

I'm grateful for these photos because it's fun to paint these.

Boston Terrier in goggles

5" by 7" daily pastel painting, unframed

This is Josie. She's my daughter's dog and she's been known to think she's a person. Or maybe we all treat her like one ;-)

My daughter takes the best photos of her and I used one for this painting.
I set up a still life this morning and then decided I wanted to paint something fun. A dog with goggles. How silly is that?

And by the way . . I was thinking that there may be someone out there who wants a certain subject in a painting and you just haven't seen it. You don't want the obligation of a commissioned piece though. So if you have an idea just email me and I'll paint within the theme you want. No obligation to buy. I like getting new ideas.

Part of my collection at the Preservation Framer in North Attleboro, MA.

study of Jimi Hendrix

5 1/2" by 8" daily pastel painting, unframed

I'm working on some studies of Hendrix for the larger painting that I'm STILL working on!
I finished this one today. The reference I used was the cover of the Best of Experience album.

drumstick pastel painting

7 1/2 x 7 1/2 pastel
Award Winning Painting

My daughter Melissa. She's really not a drummer but a singer in The Jesse Minute.

Just had fun painting this. I was going to work on it more but I don't want to ruin the feel of it. I know if I do I'll start blending which is what I was trying to avoid on this piece.

three apples painting

8 1/2" by 11" daily pastel painting, unframed

I set up this still life and starting working on it but it was way too hard looking down at the apples, so I took a photo and used that as a reference.

$100 including shipping and handling in the US.

white dog pastel painting

9 " by 12" daily pastel painting, unframed

This is a painting of my friend Lucio's dog.
I used a photo of his for reference. Our dog died last summer and every time I work on a dog painting I reconsider getting another dog.

a kiss

9" by 9" daily pastel painting, unframed

I thought I'd paint something with a Valentines Day theme. This was an experiment in abstraction.
The original has a bit more contrast but this is the best I could do with my scanner. It's very close though.

SOLD

knitting and coffee

10" by 10" daily pastel painting, unframed

Inspired by my daughter Melissa who owns an online yarn shop called KPixie.
If you knit or crochet it's definitely worth checking out. It's not your mother's yarn shop.

clouds in my coffee

14" by 10" daily pastel painting, unframed
SOLD

On request I painted another version of morning coffee.

Frank Zappa

5" by 7" daily painting
oil on board

If you don't know that you can grow dental floss in Montana you may not know who Zappa is ;-)

New theme? Rock stars of the 60's and early 70's. I can't say how long I'll continue with this theme. I always seem to change it and for some reason I've been looking for a theme to stick with.

$70 with free shipping in the US.

breakfast

6" by 6" daily painting, unframed

oil on board

One of my first paintings that sold on my blog was of an egg in pastel. It was much more challenging to paint one in oils but that's part of the reason I love to paint. I try to challenge myself daily and I hope I progress in mastering the medium.

SOLD

mini landscape 2

7" by 5" daily oil painting, unframed

Painted on 1/2" thick primed maple board which has a dovetail slot, to allow for hanging the panel on a nail perfectly flush to the wall.

Another oil painting. Who knows how long I'll continue with the oils. I have a few small boards left so I'll probably use them.

The colors are fairly accurate but I'll take a better image tomorrow when I have more light.

SOLD

mini landscape

7" by 5" daily oil painting, unframed

Painted on 1/2" thick primed maple board which has a dovetail slot, to allow for hanging the panel on a nail perfectly flush to the wall.

I've been enjoying the work on my larger piece on the last post so I thought I'd paint in oils for a while.

I'll never stop using pastels but it's always beneficial as a painter to work in other mediums as well.
