"Near Santa Monica"

                                                        5" x 5" Acrylic on gessobord
                                                                    $185


Santa Monica beach and town are in the distance and to the far right of this beach (not shown in this painting, of course).    I really enjoyed Santa Monica whenever I visited California, which was often.  The town as well as the beach and pier were a pleasure to visit.    Many years ago I painted several watercolors of the area; perhaps I'll post a couple of them in the future.   I do not remember the name of the beach in this painting above, which I painted from a reference photo I took many years ago.   
                                                        
                                                      

"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.

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.

"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.
