I finished this painting a little over a year ago, and I'm still rather fond of it.... which is rare for me. I usually dislike most of my paintings about a month after painting them, but I think that's because I'm continuously growing, so I'm fine with that. I'll be more worried when/if I begin to plateau. . . but I don't like to think like that :) However, due to my fondness of it, I can't bring myself to post it on eBay for as cheap as I've been listing some of my other work. I know that some people like to view work in person if they are spending a little more money so if any of you are in the North Carolina area, this painting is hanging in the Burlington Artists League Gallery in the Burlington Mall. You can purchase it in person, or you can order it from my website. The canvas is gallery wrapped, the edges are painted, and it's ready for hanging. Also, the "VWL 2006" is just a watermark; it's not actually on the painting.

I've recently moved back to my homestate of NC, and I love how I can drive half a mile from my house and see haystacks everywhere... so of course I had to paint a couple. I haven't done a landscape in a while, and I don't think this one is quite as strong as my still lifes, so look for more in the future as I work diligently to improve!

I painted this painting, like most of my paintings, from a photograph. I was in a diner on a family vacation when I looked up and saw the ceiling fan; I thought the neon lights and the reflective colors on the glass blades were beautiful, so I took the picture. Before I painted it, I put it in photoshop and altered the colors so that the majority of the painting fell into this monochromatic viridian hue which, for some reason, seemed to match my mood at that point in time.

This is one of my older drawings. On Thursday nights/Friday mornings, I've decided to post work that I've either been hanging on to, or that I need to relist on Ebay for a 2nd time. Due to this fact, the minimum bids should be quite a bit lower. (This one being only $10!)

This original painting is titled "Outcast" and the title is meant to draw your attention to the personification of the items in the still life. The soap pumps and sugar canister in the background look as if they are meeting privately, while the soap pump in the foreground is being left out. It was painted with oils on a 9" x 12" gallery wrapped canvas; the edges are painted, and it's ready for hanging.

Piazza della Rotunda

On my honeymoon, Jeff and I spent a few days in Rome, and I painted this from one of the photographs that I took at the Piazza della Rotunda. On one side of the piazza is the Pantheon, and on the other side is a McDonald's. In this painting, the Pantheon was behind me, and you can see the little umbrellas adorning the outside of this McDonald's "cafe." It was a unique experience to sit eating a cheeseburger while gazing at the Pantheon, listening to live music from the two characters in the painting. I've enjoyed having this painting hanging in my house, however, I like to switch my artwork around every so often so I think it's time to sell it. I've lowered the minimum bid to $25 since it isn't one of my most recent paintings. Enjoy!

This original painting is titled "Larger than Life," and it was painted from a photograph that I took at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. I really enjoyed painting the silhouettes right up against the glass. If you look to the right of the painting, you can see another man taking a picture at the same time.

I went on a family reunion last month to Stone Mountain, GA, and while I was there, I went to the aquarium in Atlanta. I took several pictures there that I thought would be fun to paint (this being one of them). Jeff (my husband) helped me title it; he thought it looked like a cumulous cloud. (a cumuloNIMBUS cloud...to be exact).
