Flower Market by Durinda Cheek watercolor 25.5 x 20.5 $600.00 Every European town has its flower market, a shop filled with flowers and spilling out onto the street. I love seeing them and I love painting them! This painting has a 2 1/2\" cream mat with a 1\" brown wood frame.
Window by Kathy Caspar watercolor 24.5 x 20.5 $395.00 I find abandoned buildings and their windows a fascinating subject to paint. This building was once a general store. The window is a wonderful combination of reflections and transparency.
Log Cabin by Kathy Knopp Little Log Cabin nestled in the trees, not far from where I live, overcrowded with leaves that bring out the tin roof feature of this old cabin.. The wagon wheel and window with the quaint curtains drew me into the blast from the past like a scene from Mark Twain!
Kitchen Mistress by Linda Hanks oil 20 x 23 $525.00 I painted this piece in the kitchen of a cottage that was built for the mistress of a large landowner. It is a charming cottage with a wonderful view of the ocean. I was struck by the simplicity of the kitchen. It felt like a step back in time.
Cannalillies in June by Lorraine Kimsey acrylic 22 x 31 framed $300 These brightly colored flowers which seem to sprout up overnight were fun to paint. They are a study of interesting shapes and color.
Petal Delft Cantey Smith Acrylic 23 x 19 $325.00 It’s been said that gardening is the art that uses flowers as paint. These hydrangea flowers, with their brilliant to soft shades of blue and white, remind me of the same amazing colors of Delft pottery tucked into my mother’s china cabinet. What are your blue and white memories?
Bosc Pears by Larry Breeland acrylic on canvas 22 x 28 $465.00 I was living in Wilmington in my early years, and we had several fruit trees in our yard including a Bosc Pear tree. These pears are perfect pealing and eating raw or making a pie or preserves. We had so many my dad would take some to his office and sell them to his fellow workers. He said they all enjoyed having fruit for a snack during the day. My job was to pick them before they fell and get bruised or broken open from striking something. Seeing some in the store reminded me what the tree looked like and its leaves. As you may notice some leaves have started to age which they do when the fruit is pulling so much nourishment from the tree to grow its fruit. Also, the time of year was later in the summer and the heat caused the leaves to start turning. I decided to just paint a rendering like what may be called a “study” of Bosc Pears on a limb would be interesting.
Hanging Out by Robert Slyer colored pencil 16.5 x 13.5 $400.00
Along South Platte River by Dan Wetzel oil 13 x 16 $275.00 This is a scene I painted along the South Platte River in the beautiful state of Colorado. This view is from central Colorado looking east along the river. I love painting rivers, and this was a wonderful scenic view that I had to try to capture. I love the wide open spaces in the fabulous Colorado landscape, and I hope you like it too. I love this country!
Autumn Cottonwoods by Edwin Sheppard acrylic 15 x 18 $400.00 This painting features golden cottonwood trees among old adobe houses in Taos Valley, New Mexico. A late afternoon light source gives a special glow to the scene. I was also attracted to the flowing clouds over the sunlit mountains that seem to reach out to each other.
Bronc Rider II by David Fishman oil on canvas 24 x 34.5 $3,200.00 \"Bronc Rider #2\" is the second in a series of rodeo paintings. I love to portray the excitement and movements of the horse and rider as they almost become one. The rider must be thoroughly in tune with the movement of the horse at every moment in order to avoid disaster.
Farm Storage by Virginia Dauth oil 16 x 16 $500.00 I stumbled upon this scene during a painting event. I loved the colors of the barn, the farm equipment and the items out and about outside the building. I liked the break from painting straight landscapes and love the challenge of painting architecture. It is a familiar scene to most but always love to find these gems. I painted this in Pastel and thought it would be fun to paint in oils. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.
July 4th by Durinda Cheek watercolor 27 x 21 $600.00 Charleston, South Carolina is one of my favorite places to visit. This scene is from my holiday birthday weekend spent in Charleston. Nothing says July 4th like an American flag on the porch! This painting is on Arches watercolor paper with a 3 1/2\" white mat and gold frame.
On The Farm by Martha Choate oil 14 x 17 $425.00 These barns are on a route when we were delivering Meals on Wheels. After going by them for several months, I decided I really wanted to paint them.
Lord of the Long Grass by Robert Slyer colored pencil 17.5 x 14 $475.00
Early Spring by Elizabeth Mobley glass 11 x 10 x 5 $400.00 This piece was made late February one year. It was an unusually early spring with buds in bloom. Snow fell one more time, freezing the flowers. Though the blooms had a short life, the tree as a whole was able to overcome the setback. New leaves emerged, preparing it for future blooms.
Two-Toned Leaf by Elizabeth Mobley glass 8 x 15 x 4 $325.00 Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish summer and fall in southern states. Temperatures sometimes can be hot in the beginning of fall. For this leaf, each side has a color tone: one for summer and the other for fall, both in harmony with nature.
Galaxy by Palma Rhoades stoneware 15 x 5 $400.00 Working in stoneware gives me the options of functionality and beauty-the sculpture bowl is a result of years experimenting with glazes!
Just Koi by Peri Aplin, ceramic bowl 12 x 7 $195.00 We used to raise KOI fish and loved how graceful they were. I wanted to make a ceramic bowl that flowed like the fish from top to bottom. I wanted the fish to be part of the bowl movement and the bowl to be part of the fish movement. It took me a long time to put this together in my head before tackling the project. I really hope people love it.
Penguin Party by Peri Aplin Ceramic bowl $195.00 This was a request by my husband to create a penguin bowl.
The Golden Hour by Pat Stephenson Painted glass candle vase 6 x 12 $150.00 The scene wraps around the circumference to show a serene setting which glows with a candle inside. This might lure a fisherman’s memory back to an evening on a small lake when the fish were biting. Curious deer are watching as he repeatedly casts his line into the shallows. These two photos show both sides of the vase.
