Check Please!.....black and white check series....Oil paintings

These are from my new series "Check Please!".  They are each 12x12 on gallery wrap thick canvas. They are done in oil paints with a collage technique that creates the checked motif and cool extra texture.  They can be purchased separately or as a set.   I absolutely LOVE the direction that this series is headed!  More to come after grandbaby is here and spring festival (Double Decker) in Oxford is over.

Coffee Cups, Cup Stack.....Original Oil Paintings

These are little 8x8 jewels.  They would look awesome in a kitchen tucked on a stack of cookbooks, or on a backsplash near your coffee pot.

And this whimsical cup stack is 8x24.  It would fit great on a narrow wall in between two doors, or in that spot above your light switch (I have a painting hung above my light switch in my kitchen.)

Colorful Coffee Cups.......Oil Painting

8x8.....Colorful Cup, Blue

I have painting cups several times before, but this is the first time I have put the black and white accents on them.  I really like how they turned out.

Kitchen Art....still lifes with tabasco, tmoatoes, etc.

SOLD

I recently sold the top painting to a sweet young couple in Shreveport.  Their mother is a client and now they are too.

I set up the still life of the next one and painted it from real life.  I absolutely love it.  The olive oil is one that we got on our trip to Italy.  This is another one that has to be seen in person to be appreciated. 

I never get tired of painting Tabasco.  I love all the different colors of red that go together to make it come alive.

This is a stack of cups that I actually (I asked permission first) stacked myself at a cute little coffee shop in Tupelo.  I took several shots of different compositions so expect to see more eventually.

Achieving a Balance....Oil Painting

This is a cup stack that I painted recently.  I really like how it turned out.  I always like for my artwork to imply movement and I think these cup stacks do that really well.  They make me think they may topple over any minute.  But no actual cups were harmed in the painting of this painting.

Cup Stack......10x20.....Oil.......$225

This one draws from the imagination....a bit....I just couldn't get a set of cups and saucers to stay like that for long!
