Study - South American Ringed Teal


                                                               6" x 8" Acrylic
                                                                     $350


My very first time to paint this particular duck.   It is found, for the most part, in the Amazon Basin of South America.    No, I did not go to South America to take the reference photos, but instead found this fella and several of his friends on the fantastically landscaped grounds of the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.   I was just thrilled to discover several types of waterfowl and parrots at this excellent hotel/resort.   There will be more paintings from there in the near future.

"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?

"Cleaving to Clivia"

                                                                       

                                                                    8"x16" Oil on panel
                                                                         Private Collection


This painting was an experiment in color and is a bit more decorative in flavor than most of my work.   These clivia flowers were found at  Waimea Bay botanical gardens on Oahu, and I added the lizard just for fun.  Don't know why, but I get a kick out of lizards and photograph them frequently.   Hope you enjoy your visit to my blog today!

"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"

            $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.
