This still life is 8" x 8", on canvas covered panel.

I used a black plate and green surface to complement and accentuate their beautiful color and shape. SOLD

It's been fun trying to track down the exact location of each of these paintings. In this case it was easy--the address of the 30-minute photo shop on the left was printed right on the awning. The shop in the center is a Vietnamese fast food restaurant called New Saigon, and then there's a grocery store on the corner. A typical East Village street scene.

This one is 8 x 10 on panel.

EVENING IN THE VALLEY Oil Painting by Kathy O'Leary

This 8 x 10 oil on canvas panel painting is a scene from a recent trip to the Heart K Ranch near Taylorsville, California. It is a region containing an historical ranch, and the traditional home lands of the Mountain Maidu Indians. To protect it from subdivision the land was purchased by the Feather River Land Trust, and is now protected in perpetuity. I went to a fundraiser/paint out there Sept. 26. This painting was done from a scene I witnessed when the sun was setting behind the western end of the valley. I couldn't resist the golds of the grasses & the deep rich colors of the trees and mountains. SOLD
