Lost in Thought

                                                                     
                                              Oil on gallery canvas  (8x8 in)
                                                               SOLD

Sometimes I wonder what, if anything cats are thinking about when they have that faraway look on their faces.  But then I conclude they are thinking about whether they should get up and eat or just go back to sleep.  In this regard, I’m a lot like cats …

Peony Bud

                         
Oil on Canvas (6x6 in)
SOLD 

I was taking a picture of a much bigger bloom that was fully open, but when I saw this little guy hanging off to the side, I knew I had to paint it.

Ball Mason Jar

                                
                                                       Oil on Panel  (9x12 in)
                                                            SOLD 

This is a painting I did for a Daily Paintworks challenge - create a painting with lettering or numbers in it.  I've been wanting to paint a glass jar so this fit the bill.  It was also a challenge for me to work on a flat panel rather than my regular stretched canvas support.  It took some adjustment to get used to the smooth and slippery surface, but I may become a convert!
