Sand Shovel
8" x 8" oil on cradled panel
$195.00 + $10. s/h
I saw this shovel when out painting with my plein air group. It was an overcast day and there was no strong dark and light on the sand or shovel, but I loved the rust. This was a good reminder to stick with the values, and the rest would come.

Hi Pam.
As I have said before now, It is difficult to pick out a painting of yours to comment on, they are all wonderful paintings. But I have chosen this one, the Sand Shovel, it`s brilliant. All the best Pam.
