​SMALL WORK

PictureA perfect day.
My paintings take me back to a simpler time.  I grew up with a wonderful Aunt in the 1950s who painted whenever she could; who looked at life as an adventure and was always outside -- taking me with her. I have one of her paintings hanging in our home painted on the back of a fruit crate during the Great Depression.  How wonderful is that?  

​Being one of my favorite Aunts, her love for the outdoors inspired my passion for painting landscapes.  


My style of painting is a form of "traditional."  I love to experiment with styles and you can see that by my work pictured below. Sometimes my paintings can be considered a style called Atmospheric Perspective, sometimes Sfumato, sometimes Impressionism. I'll take any of those categories!

Atmospheric Perspective is a visual phenomenon that occurs when we view a landscape.  The best way to explain is “fading into the distance”. When we view a landscape – objects in the distance lose contrast and detail. 

 
Sfumato (pronounced sfoo-mah-toh) is a technique that means “to smoke.”  In its basic definition - it means no bold or harsh outlines.
 
Finally, I love the impressionistic style and my work, I hope, shows some "flare" of impressionism.   ​An Impressionist painting seeks to re-create the artist's or viewer's general impression of a scene.  Sometimes small work is more difficult than large!  If you wish to purchase one of the pieces below -- please drop me a note with the title.

I classify small work as 12 x 12 or 8 x 16 inch canvas boards -- or smaller.  12 x 12 and 8 x 16 (same canvas size in inches) are my most popular size.  Price determined by time and frame costs.  Some frames are very expensive but make the piece. If you see a frame on a painting you prefer more I can switch out if I have in stock.  All of my frames are custom made but I do try to order 2 of each at the time. Prices start at $475.
