Original Oil Painting Pin Cushion


Pin Cushion

10" x 10" 
Painted on gesso panel.

Sold

This is one of my old pin cushions. I am not sure if they are still the preferred pin cushion of today but years ago they were all over. I never was quite sure what the purpose of the small tomato was. I am guessing it was to hold a thimble?

Original Oil Painting Christmas Ornament in Lucky Dish

Christmas Ornament in Lucky Dish

12" x 12"
Painted on gesso panel.

Painting is posted on Daily Paint Works' auction.

This is a glass ornament my mother gave me. I made several still life shots with my camera before choosing this composition to paint. I like the way the objects reflect off the white tissue paper. Everything seems to sparkle!

Original Oil Painting Three Green Apples Checked

Three Green Apples Checked

Sold
10" x 10"
Painted on gesso panel. 

This is kind of a Christmas painting but the subject matter makes it year round. It is also a painting you could hang any directions. I almost posted it upside down. This would be a good challenge to viewers. Let them see it one way than turn it a half turn and the next time they view it will they notice? I hope you enjoy viewing my little painting of these green apples rolling around the checkered cloth. I love the way the cloth folds around the apples and the apples reflect the pattern and each other. Everything compliments each other.
