No goat hill studios

"Green egg no ham"

Peggy Sue, my Ameraucana chicken layed her first egg!!  I couldn't be more proud if I'd done it myself....

Painted on 5"x7" hardboard.

"Pitcher with carrots"

  I saw these carrots at the Farmer's Market and I had to paint them.  Just had to.  Along with a favorite pitcher.  This oil painting was done on a 9"x12" canvas.  This painting earned a first place ribbon at the 2008 Sonoma County Fair.

"When life gives you lemons, paint them" 

 Here is a group of myer lemons from our tree on the side of the house.  Later they made a great marmalade.

"Autumn fog"  

 This barn is a  favorite for a lot of painters and photographers around the area.  So of course I had to join the group.  This is an 11"x14" oil painting.

"Coastal fog" 

 This is a view of the Pacific coast at Goat Head Beach.  I used a 12"x16" canvas of this oil painting.

"Portrait of a Sunflower" 

 The challenge of the painting project was to paint a portrait of an individual flower.  With the flower taking center stage.  I like the sunflower being so big that if can't fit on the canvas.  The painting on the left I used only a large brush, and the other painting I limited my time.  Both paintings are done in oil on a 8"x8" canvas.

"Ranunculus"

This painting was just a another reason to paint this jug.  I also like these colors.  I painted this on a 10"x20" canvas with oils.
