Cosmos in the Sun Plaque Version II

This is a second version of the Cosmos in the Sun plaque.  This wooden plaque is painted with 5 bright pink Cosmos in the sunlight.   I kept the  yellow green butterfly subtle so as not to compete with the blossom . The piece is 8″ wide .  I can paint something similar for you for $80 including shipping.  Plate stand available for purchase separately.  If you are interested in purchasing this plaque or ordering a similar piece with a different motif, please feel free to contact me through this site.

 

Contemporary House Portrait -Backyard

 

This painting is the rear view of the same Contemporary House Portrait I posted earlier this summer.    My goal was to make the viewer feel as if they were standing on the far edge of the property.  Doing this extensive backyard was a real challenge.   I used multiple views of the yard and combined them into a seamless whole.  There is complicated decking on the house, a gazebo, garden ornaments and a pond with a fountain.  I put a limited number of the flowering plants in bloom so as to not overwhelm the landscaping.  The piece is  painted in acrylics on a smooth surface  24″ X 12″ clay-board.  Also see my painting of the front view of this home in the post dated 07/27/2015.

 

Contemporary House Portrait

This contemporary home has lots of interesting architectural details like multiple roof lines,  a variety of ‘wings’, beautiful landscaping and charming garden ornaments.  Do you see the antique bicycles and the stone dog?  I worked with the client to select a view that said ‘Come on in for a visit!”   It is  painted in acrylics on a smooth surface  24″ X 12″ clay-board.  Also see my painting of the rear view of this home in the post dated 09/14/2015.
