'Glass & Floral II' - 12"x12" - oil on canvas - Dean Day Gallery
'Glass & Floral III' - 12"x12" - oil on canvas - Dean Day GalleryHello, Everyone! Just a quick update on gallery paintings for the weekend. Rest assured, more studies are in the works and will be posted next week. I am particularly excited about Monday's listing. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha (urp) (hic). That's a hint.
Anyway, about the paintings above- Two of the five you've already seen. 'Glass & Floral I' and 'Half Dozen' both made appearances on my blog within the last two months. But it wasn't until today that I got around to showing you the other three, rounding out both series.
The 'Glass & Floral' series was much fun to paint and combined two favorite subjects. I won't lie- I want to go bigger with these and am talking with Dean Day about doing so. First things first, we will see how the smaller versions are received by their patrons.
'Return For Refund' joined 'Half Dozen' a few weeks back at Mason Murer Fine Art in time for a Coca-Cola corporate event. I had been working on four paintings in total, but could not find a way to be satisfied with the other two. They met a shredded and cursed fate in the recycle bin. Play 'Taps' for them when you get the chance, will you?

'Red, White & Rosé' - 12"x12" - oil on canvas - Elliott Fouts GalleryIn other news, I am pleased to announce that aside from taking part in Elliott Fouts Gallery's annual Still Life juried exhibition, I was also invited to become one of their artists. I was so flattered, thrilled and honored and still find myself giving my arm a little pinch now and again. I have been a fan of this gallery for the past three years since I discovered them through the wonderfully talented Christopher Stott.
So, now I am fiendishly painting for all three galleries. What you see above is the second of two new wine themed paintings I have sent to them, both of which are in the exhibition. I had talked with Elliott Fouts back in August about wine as a theme. Considering I like to drink wine, and love to paint images of glassware, it was a no-brainer to say YES to this. There will be other subjects on display there as well, one of which I am nearly finished with and will send them shortly for review. But the wine theme has got me all aflutter with delight the past couple months, I admit.
And that's about it for now. I have my weekend loaded with work and am happy to do it. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend and I will be in touch again come Monday when I post the "Mwa ha ha ha ha ha (urp) (hic)" painting.

I absolutely love your paintings (truely inspiring)... but, I have to say, my absolute favourite out of this bunch is "Glass & Floral II". It just sparkles with so much life. Thank you for posting!!
Awww, thank you, Madelaine! It's my favorite, too. I love the crisp, delicate whites. :o)
Your Paintings are fantastic! You must have a lot of patience, well done!
