New Portrait

Graphite on Bristol Board. Approx 16"x12" SOLD

This is what I was doing BEFORE I did all 12 of the gallery paintings. I don't do many portraits anymore but sometimes I just can't say no :) It was for a good friend of the family.

Leaning Pair

Oil on Board. Approx 10"x10" SOLD

Evening Snack

Oil on Board. Approx 6"x12" SOLD

This was one of the most commented on paintings at the opening. A lot of good buzz around it. I was pleased to see it go to an artist I met that night...one of numerous artists I met that night.

Hand Drill with Oil Cans

Oil on Board. Approx 6"x12" SOLD

I tried a few subject matters that I personally love but may or may not be popular with my collectors. This is one of those experimental pieces. For information on available pieces, please contact the gallery at 203-318-0616 or visit their website at www.susanpowellfineart.com.

Grandpa's Violin

Oil on Board. Approx 12"x24"

I've used tightly cropped views of this violin before in my work but haven't done a "portrait" of it like this. It belonged to my Grandpa and it's very old. I love all the character of the wood.

Pair of Peaches

Oil on Board. Approx 10"x10"

This painting has such great subtleties in real life that the camera just couldn't pick up. It is fairly simple but one of my favorites in the show. For information, please contact the gallery at 203-318-0616 or visit their website at www.susanpowellfineart.com.

Twisted Peel

Oil on Board. Approx 12"x6" SOLD

Another that sold opening night to a pair of repeat collectors of mine. For information on available paintings, please contact the gallery at 203-318-0616 or visit their website at www.susanpowellfineart.com.

Still Life with Dark Ale

Oil on Board. Approx 10"x10" SOLD

For me to be attracted to a painting, it is not so much about the subject matter and much more about the paint handling. This is a perfect example of that. These objects don't necessarily go together but I love how the painting came out. Therefore, I am attracted to it.

Antique Collection No.2

Oil on Board. Approx 18.375"x11" SOLD

I did an "Antique Collection" back in May and it was so popular, I wanted to do another. This took my quite a long time to compose. Literally hours. I really like the outcome of this painting. For information on available paintings, please contact the gallery at 203-318-0616 or visit their website at www.susanpowellfineart.com.

Peeled Lemon with Antique Books

Oil on Board. Approx 12"x12" SOLD

This is one of the few paintings that are still available at the show. This painting is almost exactly what I was envisioning before I began. That is rare because a lot of times paintings are an evolution that and end in a place that is unexpected but still satisfactory. Does that make sense?

Corks at Random

Oil on Board. Approx 12"x9" SOLD

This was one of of the first paintings to sell at the opening reception last night. It was a whirl wind of good times and a bunch of red dots which is always good.

Mussels with Lemon

Oil on Board. Approx 12"x9" SOLD

Again, I haven't posted here in a while but it's mostly because everything I've been working on couldn't be "released" yet. Now it's close enough to the show where I can start posting. I will be at Susan Powell Fine Art in Madison, CT this Friday, Nov 9. The reception is from 5-8 so if you are in the area, come on out to chat. This painting is one of my favorites.
