This is a 6 x 6" watercolor painting. I love this little green glass duck and I feel like it might appear in more paintings. The table top still life under strong light is a delight to paint and it can be done at night without the dreaded changing light problem.
This was painted directly from life in my studio. The amaryllis was a gift from my husband.
This is a 5x7 inch alla prima oil painting(done in one 
"Fall Colors, Jackson Lake" 8x6" oil on canvasboard- I was driving around Jackson Lake in Grand Tetons National Park and came upon this simple, but attractive scene of fall colors. I liked the combination of the bright orange aspen and the yellow willow with the lake in the background.
This painting was done on location (en plein air) at a favorite place along the Mad River in Humboldt County, California. Up in the coastal mountains, this beautiful river meanders among naturally tinted blue rocks and boulders, while the river itself reflects colors of lavender and turquoise. This is one of the paintings done during a week long annual trip with several other women artists. The painting measures 8 x 10, and is done on canvas covered panel. To learn more or bid, CLICK HERE
This is a painting done from a photograph I took on a grassy overlook on the Elkhorn Slough Wildlife Refuge at Moss Landing, Northern California. Known mostly by the locals, it's a beautiful region of mudflats, tidal water flows, rich with bird life and surrounded by chaparral, trees and wild grasses. It measures 8 x 10, and is painted on canvas covered panel. To learn more or bid, CLICK HERE.
The calendar features paintings by O’Leary, Linda Mitchell, Rachel Schlueter, and Amy Stewart. Scenes include Indian Island, the Ferndale racetrack, and the AA bar. Some of the images are already part of Humboldt’s past. “As we were putting it together, we realized that already some of the places we painted had changed,” Mitchell said. “I went to O-H’s the night it closed to get one last painting. We also included Rachel’s painting of Gepetto’s in Eureka, and Amy’s painting of the pulp mill when it was still operating.”
In keeping with the artists’ use of technology to sell art online, the calendars can be ordered online through Zazzle.com. “The nice thing about Zazzle is that it lets us design a high-quality calendar without having to invest thousands of dollars in up-front printing costs,” said Schlueter. “We’re also designing notecards and even T-shirts, all of which are printed only when someone orders them. None of this was possible even a few years ago.”
Samples of the calendars will be on display at the Lost Coast Daily Painters Holiday Sale at Kathy O’Leary’s C Street studio, where the artists will also offer small paintings for sale at affordable prices. “We’re even offering gift wrapping and shipping,” O’Leary said. “We want to make it very easy to get some holiday shopping done.” The sale starts at 5 pm on Saturday, December 5 and continues throughout the evening for Arts Alive.

I love doing snow scenes in watercolor as well as water reflections . Mount Shasta with grass Lake in the foreground is a wonderfull view. Washes dry quickly and moving from area to area before things change or dry is a bit of a wild ride.... this is 10.5 x 14.5". to bid press here

The rose blossomed several days ago and is from the hardiest rose bush in our garden. I painted it from life in my studio with oils alla prima on a 7x5" wooden panel. E-bay will be set up Wednesday for bidding.
"Quiet Morning" 8x10" oil on canvasboard- I photographed this relaxing scene with cottonwood trees near Dubois, Wyoming a few years ago.
I love palm trees, and finding one with another of my favorite subjects, vineyards, was particularly fun. What caught my attention was the light, and I kept my brush strokes loose here to emphasize where the light fell and the shapes it created. This painting is 8 x 10, on canvas covered panel. SOLD
