Old Fashioned Hollyhocks - SOLD

 

Old Fashioned Hollyhocks

8 in. x 10 in., soft pastel on velvet panel

$300, matted and framed to 11"x 14" ~ SOLD

When my neighbors grew these magnificent magenta-red hollyhocks during the height of summer, I asked if I could photograph them.  Of course they said yes, and I took the reference photos to a one-night pop-up gallery event where I would have a selection of art hung and would be painting live.  I didn't sell any work off the wall that evening, but these hollyhocks I was painted garnered a ton of attention.  The lady who would be the buyer asked me to text her a photo of the finished piece in a mat and frame.  She snapped it right up, because it reminded her of her grandma, and this painting created a strong connection for her. 

Golden Hour Ghost

 

Golden Hour Ghost

8 in. x 10 in., acrylic on cradled panel

$300, unframed (no frame necessary)

This began as a free-for-use photo by photographer Ben Jenkins.  The simplicity of the composition and the subtle golden glow of last light on a barn owl was too much to resist.  I very much enjoyed utilizing the complement pair of violet and yellow, even though they are somewhat muted in this piece.  Those claws, though!

Bowl of Stars (Tuckerman Ravine)

6 in. x 18 in., (Triptych, acrylic on 3 - 6" x 6" cradled panels)

$450, unframed (no frame necessary)

Painted for an annual Tuckerman Ravine art show, these three panels hang together to form a triptych. The wide expanse of the glacial circle that forms the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine stretches across, rising above the trail, holding the expanse of stars in the night sky. Multiple panel paintings are often hung with a little space between them to give the feel of looking at the scene through a kind of window effect.

Painted for an annual Tuckerman Ravine art show, this painting depicts the view down into the ravine from the top of the intersection between the Tuckerman Ravine Trail and the Alpine Garden Trail.  The brilliant sun on the ridge at the top brightens the stones and alpine grasses by the weathered White Mountains trail sign for hikers to follow on their way down to Pinkham Notch, or on to the summit of Mount Washington.
