Pumpkin Harvest

18 x 24 oil on linen. I am into Fall right now and have gathered pumpkins and gourds...they are so beautiful! I have a big painted basket and when I put all of them in, they naturally tumbled out and tipped the basket.

Red Berries and Violet Leaves, 8x10" Original Oil by Carol Schiff

The image for this painting came from an autumn hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  I love being there this time of year when color is everywhere.

I was attracted to this image because of the unusual color and also by the abstract qualities of the branches.

Blogger is up to it's old tricks this morning, not behaving at all, and insisting on putting my second image at the top of the post.  I had this problem a few weeks ago, then it magically disappeared, now it is back!  ARGH!!!!!!!

Anastasia Palm, Old Florida Stately Palm Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson

On a beautiful afternoon, I set up my plein air easel in Lake Mary in front of a stately palm tree. With the sun shining on one side, the tree cast a shadow on the grass. Palms are my favorite trees because each one is so different, as if each has a different personality. This one sent out an Old Florida vibe. Tall, stately, and perfectly "coifed", the tree seemed more like a tropical sculpture. 12"H x 9"W

Morning at Little Econ River, a Florida Plein Air Oil Painting by Judy Batterson

I arrived at the Little Econ River early in the morning and set up my pochade box easel next to a small tributary of the river. Birds were fishing and flying as the water flowed quietly. It was such a peaceful experience of capturing misty light and shadow on the canvas. I ended up with a feeling of impressionism. 5"H x 7"W Price: $ 75.00

Before Evening Fell, Original Oil, 6x18" by Carol Schiff

I enjoy unusual formats and dramatic scenes and I think this little daily painting provides both.

I worked some areas with a palette knife to achieve some texture, which I believe, adds interest.

I originally painted this and thought I was finished, didn't like it, glazed over it, didn't like it, and painted over most of the scene.  Finally, I liked the finished results.

Sometimes I just sit art on a shelf, instead of framing and hanging.

Daily Painting 1454 Golden Guavas Alla Prima

I painted these from life, they are from my guava tree in the back yard.  The thing has gone crazy this year with the wet summer we have had, it has dozens of guavas.  I am the only one in my family who likes them, I have about gotten to my point of saturation.  I have been eating fresh off the tree, I made guava bread, guava smoothie, guava cobbler, and gave a bunch away.  I figure next I'll try freezing some. 

The painting is all done with the painting knife and is oil, 8 x 10 inches on masonite.  $200.

Lighthouse Beyond the Dunes, a Florida Plein Air Beach Oil Painting by Judy Batterson

At the north end of New Smyrna Beach there are large sand dunes next to the inlet to the Indian River. Across the inlet is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. I set up my easel in the dunes so I could paint the lighthouse across the water. I could hear the waves, the gulls, and the boats. Plein air painting is an experience for the senses! I could see the sailboat masts along the docks and watch the cloud formations behind the lighthouse. The view was captured on a 5x7 canvas! ($75 plus shipping)

Daily Painting 1453 Raggedy Hibiscus

The painting is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite, $100.
