Eat Your Vegetables
6" x 8" oil on panel
$100.00 + $10. s/h

I admit it, I am not growing broccoli in my garden but, someone is!  I tried it one summer and it just didn't do well.  Maybe it's the altitude.  Anyway, we had this for dinner the other night, so I had to paint it quickly.  It's the first time I've painted broccoli and there's a lot of texture and depth!

Enjoy the View
7" x 9" oil on board
$100.00 + $10. s/h

Recently my plein air group painted at a home just south of town.  The yard, and the deck where I was painting,  had the most incredible views of southern Colorado.  You could see the mountain range miles away.  This chair was just asking for a viewer.

The aspen trees are in full fall color in late September.  So, I can imagine that this couple enjoys their deck! This piece is being submitted to Artists Helping Artists Blog September Challenge.

My plein air group, Garden Artists, is having our Fall Show on Saturday, September 11 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at Summerland Gardens 124 East Cheyenne Road, Colorado Springs, 80906.  If you're in the area, stop by.

Corn on the Cob
6" x 8" oil on board
$100.00 + $10. s/h

These ears of corn are really fun.  If I wasn't doing a personal challenge, I might not have tried to paint them.

I had a question in my comments about the blue that I used for the recent blueberry paintings.  I mixed cobalt and ultramarine blues, grayed that mixture in varying amounts with cad red light, and added white.

Sweet Corn
6" x 8" oil on board
$100.00 + $10. s/h

Right now the sweet corn in Colorado is incredible!  Corn is one of my favorite vegetables.  We eat is as our main course and side dish.  There's almost nothing else on the plate!  There's no procrastinating this painting...I've got to paint it before we eat!

Rock Garden
8" x 8" oil on cradled panel
$195.00 + $10. s/h

We literally have hundreds of rocks sitting in the back yard under a tree waiting to be used in our garden.  This one caught my eye as it had so many colors as well as moss.

Yellow Rake
8" x 8" oil on cradled board
$195.00 + $10. s/h

We're putting in another flower garden, or, should I say taking out more grass.  Either way, we've spent the last few days building a rock wall, moving all the compost from the other side of the yard, raking the compost, hauling dirt, and then raking the dirt.  I couldn't resist painting the rake!
