"Mixed Bouquet with Miniature Roses"

                                                        5"x7" Acrylic on stretched canvas        
                                                                     $195 framed
                                                                   $150 unframed

This painting would make a nice companion to the previous post of "Texas African Violet with Yellow Rose" .    Oval frames are difficult to find so I will ship this painting with the same frame shown here.  However, there will be a $8.00 charge for shipping within the USA, and $14.00 to another country. If for some reason you would prefer to purchase this painting or the previous "Texas African with Yellow Rose"  unframed (or both of them together)  the price would be $150 each.   Perhaps you may know a framer or for whatever reason; however, the sides of the canvas are not painted and are not even, so the painting will definitely need to be framed to look presentable.   If you purchase the painting unframed, shipping is free within the USA.

I accept major credit cards.   Purchase inquiries at 808-536-0650 or reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com

Thank you and wishing everyone a fantastic 2011   !!

"Dole Plantation 1"

                                                        5" x 5" Acrylic on gessobord
                                                                       $185


Dole Plantation is on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.    They still grow pineapples here, but it is not on as large a scale as in the past.   Those are the Waianae Mountains in the distance.  This miniature is a study for a larger painting (12"x16").     I am anxious to do some larger work for a few days.  

Please contact me if you have any questions at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com or 808.536.0650

"Myrtle Edwards Park - Seattle"

5" x 5" Acrylic on gessobord

$185

Reference photo for the above painting

As you can see, I changed things a bit in the painting rather than going totally by the reference photo.    I took this photo 10 years ago during a short stay in Seattle.   In the future I hope to do a larger painting of this scene and I may paint the water a pinker hue then.   This particular park has many flowers, particularly roses.   It is right near downtown and is popular for joggers as well. Near there is a park with many outdoor sculptures.   Seattle has some beautiful surrounding scenery and mountains, but I prefer Hawaii.

"Pink Lily Study 1"

                          

                                                          5"x7" Acrylic on panel
                                                                 $175


Enjoyed working on this lily and because it is a study and not  very detailed , the price is less than the previous post of NOLA pink waterlilies.    There are subtle touches of yellow in the blossom that do not show up that well in the photo.   This was a joy to paint!                                                            

"Miniature Pink Rose Bouquet #1"

5"x7" Acrylic on panel

$195

                                              

                                                     
                                                                                                                                                           What fun this was to paint!  I had a reference photo I had taken, but used my imagination for the most part on everything but the roses.   If interested in this painting, I ship free in the USA when the painting is unframed.    I am including a photo of this painting in a frame so you can see what a difference a frame makes.



Framed as shown $250

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     There is extra time and more cost involved  for shipping and handling if the painting is framed like this.  Contact me at 808.536.0650 or by email   reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com  for a shipping price quote on either UPS or FedEx.

  Please excuse the imperfect alignment of the text in this posting; for some reason it is not working properly tonight.   Can't be me, right?                                                  

"The Bold and Beautiful"

8"x10" Oil on panel

$500

I loved the bold stripes of this material, but at first was not sure how they might work with the delicate gardenia blossoms.   I was rather pleased with the finished result and will use this materail again.         

Lately I have been doing more photography than actual painting, but that has got to stop!   I am currently working on 3 miniature paintings, but am anxious to begin a larger major piece.   Please return to this blog  often as I will definitely be painting more in the future than I have been lately.  Thank you for stopping by!

For more information or to purchase this painting, please contact me at  reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com      or feel free to phone me at  808.536.0650.         I will be glad to help you in any way I can.                      

"Red Tulips And Calico"

6"x8" Oil on Raymar panel

$250

This little gem was a bit time consuming with the extra detail in the calico cloth.   Just the same,  I will use this calico fabric in future paintings as I enjoy a challenge sometimes.  I have several more reference photos of still life set ups I photographed using this cloth.   This set up just appealed to me to try to paint first.

If you have any special requests or would like to purchase this painting call me at 808.536.0650

"Simple Elegance"

6"x8" oil on linen Raymar panel
            $250
 
 
I seem to be concentrating on flowers lately and loving every moment of painting them.  Lilies are quite elegant and I shall paint more lilies in the near future.   
 
 

"Special Vase"

6"x8" Oil on Linen Raymar Panel
$300   Sold


Painting the various colors reflected in this vase was a challenge, especially since it is a miniature painting.   I might use this as a study to paint a larger painting in the future in an effort to more fully capture the colors in the vase.  

Thank you for viewing my work and please feel free to comment here or contact me 808.536.0650   or  reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com

"We're All In The Same Boat"

6"x8" Oil on Raymar Panel
$200

More grapes!  I had intended to put this glass gravy boat in a painting long before now.  The title is a little misleading, because three wayward grapes went their own way and jumped out of the boat!  Kind of like people and true life!

Thank you for stopping by and visiting!

"Got the Blues"

5"x7" oil on canvas

$150.00

This a very recent painting I had great fun painting.   It is painted on stretched canvas whose sides are also painted, so it could be hung unframed.   However, I recommend a frame to give it more of an eloquent look.   It is just a matter of personal preference. Hope you enjoy and come visit again soon.

"Almost Touching" - Pink Waterlilies

8"x6" Acrylic on Raymar panel

$275

The reference photos for this painting were also taken at the pavilion at Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu.   This painting would be a nice companion to yesterday's post of "We Two" which was of the same size panel and same color and type of waterlilies.  Hope you enjoy!

If you are interested in purchasing this painting,  please contact me at   reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com

"We Two"

8"x6" Acrylic on Raymar panel

$275

More waterlilies!  Most of my waterlily reference photos are taken at a courtyard in a pavilion at Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu.   It is a wonderful family beach; does not have the extreme high surf in the winter as the North Shore beaches experience.   Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog!

"Mother's Help"

8"x10" Acrylic on canvas

$500

This painting borders on impressionism; a little departure from my other seascapes.  I took several reference photos of this mother and son and hope to paint them again soon.  Please feel free  to send me your comments.  I would love to hear from you.

"Power at Chun's Reef"

4"x6" Acrylic on Raymar Panel

$135

This scene is really a little more towards Waimea Bay, but not too far a walk from Chun's Reef on the North Shore of Oahu.   Had a grand time experimenting with color in this painting.   I have been called a "colorist" because I sometimes exaggerate color even in my most realistic works. 

Hope you enjoy "the view" of a little part of the beauty of paradise here in Hawaii.   My intentions for future posts on this blog is to show more miniature still life paintings, so please stop by and visit often.

"Sunrise at Sandy Beach"

                                               8"x10" Acrylic on canvas    $500


Sandy Beach is located on the Southeast part of Oahu, and is quite pleasant with no huge hotels,etc., just beautiful scenery all around.   I never tire of painting seascapes, and I hope my viewers of this blog never tire of them as well.    However, I am considering painting more still life and florals in the near future.    I, as an artist, thrive on a variety of subject matter so you may get a surprise now and then as to what I post.

If time permits, this coming weekend I will have a drawing for a free miniature painting, as promised previously, for one of those who follow this blog and  my Facebook fan page.   The winner of the painting will pay no shipping costs, unless they live outside of the USA.    Hey, the weekend is here!  It is Friday already so either Saturday or Sunday I will have the drawing and post a photo of the free painting along with the first name of the winner, whom I will contact via email.    This will be a fun experience!  

"Sunrise at Waikiki" 4"x6" Acrylic

This painting is a little more impressionistic than some of my other work.  I took several photographs

that particular morning, but this was my favorite scene.   It is looking towards the famous Diamondhead extinct volcano, which is not visible in this painting, obviously.  There is a nice park near here and also the Honolulu Zoo, which is a great place for me to take reference photos of birds and animals as well as flowers.  I don't visit Waikiki very often, mostly because I prefer more secluded, rustic beaches without all the hotels everywhere.    But I do enjoy my visits to Waikiki, and it is a great place to take a daily walk along the paved walkway beside the beach--not to mention a safe beach to go swimming.   Waikiki is a must see for anyone visiting Honolulu and I hope you enjoy viewing this painting and in my own artistic way I suppose one could say I "took you" there as you view this scene.

This painting is on canvas mounted on museum quality Raymar Art panel.   Many of the miniature paintings I post on this blog are on these panels, but some are on stretched canvas or gesso board.  All quality materials and paint.   

This painting is priced at $125, including shipping if within the USA.   Outside of the USA, there will be a small charge for shipping; whatever the Post Office charges for Priority Mail to your particular country.

If you are interested in purchasing this painting, or have any questions about my work or commissions,  please contact me at reynoldsrenditions@gmail.com 

"Rainbow Bridge- Haliewa"

4"x6" Acrylic on board   $125

Haliewa is a charming "artsy" town on the North Shore of Oahu.  I love to visit there and usually have lunch at Cholos Mexican Restaurant  or Haliewa Joe's.   Both have excellent food.   There is even a Wyland gallery in this quaint town, as well as several other art galleries.    The Rainbow Bridge depicted in this painting is so narrow that it does not allow room for 2 way traffic.   Lanes have to wait til it is clear to procede across.  The restaurant Haliewa Joe's is to the immediate right of this scene.  

Pink Glory - Hibiscus

4"x6" Acrylic on Raymar Panel

$125

As many of you know , the Hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower. The one depicted here is a hybrid, not one of the native varieties which I hope to paint in the future. I like to paint a variety of subject matter, but lately have painted mostly florals and still life. Let me know what you would like to see more of on this blog. I welcome all comments.

Lifeguard Boat at Waimea Bay

4" x 6" Acrylic

$125

Waimea Bay is on the North Shore of Oahu across the road from a botanical garden I frequent. So when I go to the beach there to take photos, I find a lot of subject matter to photograph at the gardens as well. There is a very nice waterfall at the gardens I intend to paint in the near future. Very popular area.

Life is good and I feel blessed to be able to paint to my heart's content here in "paradise".

Please feel free to contact me if you would like a special commission of a particular place or pet or flowers. I could work from your photos. I do not paint portraits of people, however.
