Paperwhite Still Life Oil on Linen Panel 5" x 7"
A variation on an earlier still life with similar props. I prefer this one.
While at Mobacks checking out the poinsettias, I noticed a big basket of of paperwhite bulbs. It occurred to me that a pot of delicate, fragrant, bright white flowers would be a great way to brighten up a dark winter day. Even more important, it would give me a new fresh flower to paint. :)

My youngest daughter Megan has been showing some consistant interest in oil painting, much to my delight. So for Christmas we got her a pochade box and paints. The other day she grabbed on orange, sat it on the counter and started painting (see below). I thought it was such a fun composition I decided to try it too, with Megan's permission of course.

New Years Day in Everson - Plein Air Oil on Linen Panel 5" x 7"
Happy New Year!
I'd like to wish you and your family the very best in 2014. Also, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in my art and taking the time to view these daily paintings. Your support is tremendously appreciated!
We spent the first day of 2014 visiting with my brother and his family in Everson. The visit included a bicycle ride next to the river near his home. I found a great spot to set up and paint. Then I discovered I'd left my white paint back at the house. :( Don very kindly went back to get it for me but I just decided to take lots of painters license with paint I already had.....
