Hot Air Balloon Festival at the Beach on a Storage Container

Leave a comment

I am not sure what this vintage bucket on three legs was originally meant to store, but I can picture it it holding anything from magazines to umbrellas to knitting supplies to hats and mittens to a large potted plant!  I had fun painting the ocean scene with a lighthouse, beach, island village and seven hot air balloons.  The views are loosely based on southern New England locales.  I photographed every one of the balloons in the sky at festivals in Connecticut.  The bucket is all wood with the exception of the two metal bands.  The divider inside is  easily removed.  It weighs 7 pounds and stands 20″ tall (not counting the handle). The bucket is 10.5″ deep and tapers from  12.5″ in diameter at the bottom to 11″ diameter at the top.  It is currently available for sale at $125 plus shipping and handling.

Contemporary House Portrait -Backyard

Leave a comment

 

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.

Hydrangeas in Winter Plaque

Leave a comment

This plaque is a winter scene with dried pale blossoms clinging to the branches without bright colors or green leaves.  It is the fourth in a series of Hydrangeas  painted in various seasons.   These blossoms are beautiful at every stage of life!  The pagoda reflecting in the water adds an interesting element.  I could not put an insect or bird into the painting as it would be inappropriate for wintertime so the bee is on the reverse side by my signature!
