Lilies At Descanso (Landscape With Pond)


"Lilies At Descanso"
8" x 10" Acrylic on panel
Private Collection

This acrylic painting of flowers at a pond at the Descanso Gardens in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, will be in its new home soon with a private collector.   I used bold color and extreme contrast in this painting on purpose; it was an experiment painted quite some time ago and I might do a larger version one day using oil paints, with some distinct changes.

Announcing New Wood Duck And Garden Prints


"Oh So Blue" - Wood Duck
12" x 16" acrylic on panel
$1500

This original acrylic painting is still available for purchase.  It had been posted on this blog previously, but now I am announcing that prints are available of this image at Fine Art America.  For those not familiar with FAA, they do an excellent job of prints on demand : your preferred size, whether a paper print or on stretched canvas, as well as note cards.

Below are two more paintings now available as prints for the first time.


"Descanso Gardens Flower Cart"
8" x 10" oil on panel
$500


"Rodeo Wagon"
8" x 10" oil on panel
$500

The prices on the above three works are for the original paintings.   The prints available at Fine Art America are priced considerably less than that.   Check out my site there !

Beauty And Age - Descanso Gardens


"Beauty And Age" - Descanso Gardens

The ancient Wisteria vine almost takes center stage in this completed oil painting of a scene at Descanso Gardens, which is about a twenty minute drive from Los Angeles, California.   I spent many hours at these beautiful gardens.

Beauty And Age - Descanso Gardens Second Stage

Work In Progress - Second Stage
"Beauty And Age" Descanso Gardens
16" x 20"

I worked on this again in the wee hours this morning, using acrylic paints.   It is time to begin going over it and finishing it in oils.   To view the reference photograph and the first stage of this painting go here   .  I used Open Golden Acrylics while working on this, so I may give it more time to dry before beginning in oils and start work on another miniature in the meantime.
