"Lexington and 65th"--by Amy Stewart


A sunny afternoon on Lexington Avenue. I stood and took pictures on this street corner for the longest time, waiting for exactly the right combination of cars to drive by. It was the jumble of bright awnings in the distance that I really loved, but it needed just the right yellow cab to really make it work.

This is 8 x 10 inch oil on board. The board is 1/2 in thick with dovetail slots on the back so you can hang it on a nail with no additional hardware. The sides are painted black.

'Spanky at Rest' oil by Rachel K Schlueter

Oil on 6"x6" panel, alla prima- meaning the painting was completed in one pass inferring that the execution is confident, passionate and spontaneous and possibly reckless. Anyway, I took a bunch of photos of Spanky at Otto's place and I will continue this series when I get back from Mexico on Dec 2, if you are bidding on this painting, I will not be able to send it out until Dec. 2, when I return, thanks for visiting~Adios for now!

SUNRISE OVER THE VALLEY, oil painting by Kathy O'Leary

This is another painting from my recent trip to the Feather River Land Trust paint out in Northeastern California. Getting up early to photograph the sun rising over Genesee Valley, where the Heart K Ranch is located, I found this beautiful scene of brilliant morning light hitting the grasses and emphasizing the deep shadows cast by the large old pine trees.

"Street Vendors" by Amy Stewart


I'm still working my way through New York City! Every time I think I've painted all the interesting images from my trip last summer, I find another one. Street vendors are hard to resist--I love the umbrellas and these simple figures. These carts were at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, across from the Plaza, right in front of the Apple store.

6 x 6 inch oil on board. This is 1/2 inch thick board with dovetail slots on the back so you can hang it on a nail with no extra hardware. The sides are painted black.

Click here to bid. Please note that this painting will not ship until Nov 16.
