Potluck
This was fun to paint! I liked to paint jars and dishes on a round table with people deciding what to select. If cheerful paintings interest you, click here for more information.
Gullah Woman Slicing Bread
For the next month I plan to show some small paintings of Gullah people. These paintings were inspired by research my husband did for a magazine article on Maum Celie, a great Gullah friend of his uncle who lived in South Carolina. Maum Celie was a woman of great faith who also had the gift of healing. Several pictures of Gullah are already on my on-line gallery. Click here if you are interested.
Gullah Woman Sewing
This Gullah woman is mending and listening to her radio. This is a small 6 x 6 inch painting on a substrate called Gessobord, which resembles masonite but with a coated surface that is quite receptive to paint! For more information on this painting, please click here.
Man Reading the Paper
This gentleman is looking directly at you over the edge of the newspaper he is holding. This is a small painting on canvas panel—5 x 7 inches. You can find out more about it by clicking here.
Zinnias in a Basket
A year ago I planted zinnia seeds right in our front yard and was amazed that I had hundreds of flowers, some as large as tea cups! I was able to paint 5 or 6 paintings of these flowers and for a while they became my favorite plants. This painting is 8″ x 10″. It is still available. If you are interested, click here.
Single Red Rose
This lovely rose was painted in acrylic on mat board, not on cotton or linen panels or canvas. You can purchase it here if you are interested.
Man Whittling
This is another small 5 x7 painting on a canvas panel. These illustrations were inspired by a magazine article my husband wrote regarding the Gullahs in South Carolina. You can learn more about this painting by clicking here.
Landscape with Trees
Seaside: Woman & Child
This is another study for a painting. Like the previous post, it is painted on cardboard. It is acrylic . 8 5/8 x 11 1/4. I added the woman and child later as a focal point. I think that if I decide to turn this into another painting, I will place the figures more to the left. Those of you who are artists should know that if you paint on cardboard be sure to gesso both sides of this support several times. This is not the type of cardboard that boxes are made out of, but is a heavy type somewhat like mat board!
