Proud Peony

24 x 20 oil on stretched canvas

What to name these????  Anyway, thought I would try something a little different to see how it went.  The stem was an afterthought - reference photo did not have one - but it looked like it was just floating on canvas, so I added it.  A little glare in the wet paint on lower right from window.  It's a beautiful, sunny day in Mississippi!

Charleston Dining

16 x 20 oil on linen

Finally finished!  My camera wasn't cooperating this a.m. (might be operator) so it looks a little blurry.

Charleston Dining (in progress)

16 x 20 oil on linen

This is actually a 16 x 20 vertical but I sliced the top and bottom off because they are more unfinished than the rest.  I have much more work....this has taken longer than I anticipated and not sure how I will finish it.  It has a lot of blank space above and below.  Who knows I might end of cropping the entire painting into this size!
