Pink and White, 10x10 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Pink and White

10x10 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

Unframed

This is a re-work of another painting of peonies I had done, but I always felt something was missing.  I think the daisies now have taken center stage, but I'm happier with the painting now.

Stacked, 12x4 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Stacked

12x4 oil painting

on deep-edge cotton canvas

ready to hang

I re-worked this painting from a previous post, and I'm much happier with it now.  I like the long, narrow format.  This is painted on a deep-edge 12x4 canvas, and the sides are painted black -- no need to frame.  I'll include wire on the back when I ship it, so it will be ready to hang.

I painted this from a photo I took last year, while taking Hedi Moran's class at Scottsdale Artist's School.  I like to paint just a portion of the photo for these small surfaces.

Purple Passion

8x8 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel, unframed

I don't know the name of these little purple flowers, but I love the color.  I painted this from a still life set-up in Krista Eaton's class this past week at Scottsdale Artists's School.  We had so much fun -- the time passed all too quickly.  If you like the color purple, Google the words "images of purple flowers" for some great eye candy.

Tea Rose, 8x8 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Tea Rose

8x8 oil painting

on deep-edge canvas,

ready to hang

This past year I planted my first rose bush in my yard.  I chose it for the color -- I don't know much about roses, but I want to learn more.  The rose plant iscalled a Tea Rose, and it produces roses in beautiful colors of peach, pink and white.  I painted this from a set-up in my studio, and the daisies were flowers I bought at the market.  Now I want to plant more rose bushes, but I have a feeling I should wait until cooler weather, since I live in the Phoenix area.

Spring Bouquet, 12x12 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Spring Bouquet

12x12 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

I painted this from a still life set-up in a class I took.  I can't remember which class -- it was either with Hedi Moran or Joni Falk.  I added a few touches of my own as well.  This is a 12x12 painting on a Raymar cotton panel, so I recommend that it be displayed in a frame.

It rained here in Arizona today, so I stayed inside and finished a couple paintings that have been sitting in my studio for a few weeks.  This is one of them -- more of my sunflowers and daisies.

Color Riot, 12x4 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Color Riot

12x4 oil painting

on deep-edge canvas

This isn't what I was going to paint today, but when I went to the market and saw all these bright colors, I grabbed the bouquet and decided to paint it instead.  These daisies are so brightly colored -- how do they do that?  It must be dye, because soon after I put the daisies in a vase,  the water turned pink!  This is painted on a deep-edge canvas, so no need to frame.

Daisy Trio

10x8 watercolor painting

on Fabriano 140# watercolor paper

I did this watercolor study today -- it's on the back of a really awful painting I did in a workshop (I won't mention which workshop).  Anyway, I liked this little painting so I decided to post it.  At least the sheet of paper wasn't a total loss.

Daisy Stack, 12x4 oil painting by Stevie Denny

Daisy Stack

12x4 oil painting

on deep-edge canvas

I love to paint daisies, and I did this one from memory.  This is the first time I've tried the long and thin format.  Although it wouldn't work for everything, I like it for this.  This is painted on a deep-edge canvas (about 1-1/2" deep), so it doesn't need to be framed.  The sides are painted with black gesso.  

This painting is available for purchase through an online auction on Daily Paintworks.

Daisies and Oranges

10x10 oil painting

I recently took a class from my friend Krista Eaton, and I painted this from a still life set-up in her studio.  If this painting looks familiar, it's because a few of us have posted our work from that class (including Krista)!  What a fun day we had -- Krista is a wonderful person and a great teacher.

Daisy Explosion

7x5 acrylic painting

on archival linen panel

I had several photos I had taken of still life set-ups last Spring at Scottsdale Artists' School.  I often use these photos for reference, and today I painted a "cropped" version of one of them.  It's just a piece of the entire set-up, but it was perfect for this small surface.  It's a happy painting.

Tea Time

8x8 oil painting

My mother gave me several teacups that have been in the family a long time, and I decided to use them as painting reference.  The lemon was fresh off the tree in my back yard.

This is my Day 1 painting of Leslie Saeta's painting-a-day challenge for January.  So far, so good.

For Claudine

10x8 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

This painting is for Claudine, someone I've known for 50 years.  Claudine and I went to high school together; and after high school, Claudine opened a successful beauty salon in Burbank, California.  When my son Chris was 14, he went with me to the salon one day, and he saw Julie -- Claudine's daughter.  It was love at first sight; and many years later, when they were in their 30s, Chris and Julie were married.  Now Claudine and I share two adorable grandsons.  She is a caring, generous and special person.
