Three for All

I have been trying to get back into painting after the whole family getting the stomach virus last week. I painted a couple that I haven't had time to post. This one I felt came out well, although I think I need to start jazzing up the backgrounds. This is 9x12", oil on canvas board for $25.

Biting Lemon

I like to comment on the interaction between humans and nature in my work. Generally this means combining tools (and I keep that interpretation vague) and food objects as symbols for human intrusion on the natural world. This 6X8" oil painting is available for $25.

Shallot Plate

When I looked at this painting in the daylight, I realized it needs more value contrast. Other than that I like the composition, colors, and rendering. This is 6x8", oil on canvas panel for $60. Please visit my blog and website. Thanks.

Avant Gourd by Bart Dluhy

My two daughters helped pick out some of my holiday gourds to paint. This is the first one. I most enjoy painting the little bumps on these gourds. With the daily paintings I am trying to limit myself to 60 minutes but I think the essence still comes across. I would like to loosen up a little more, but I tend to get tunnel vision on the individual aspects. With each daily painting I try a little harder. This is oil on canvas panel, 8x10" for $50. Please contact me through my website or blog. Thanks.
