"La Penita Palm Tree" by Amy Stewart--$60

"New York Fruit Stand" by Amy Stewart--$50

Fruit stands are great fun to paint. And in this case, I managed to get just the right kind of figure in the scene--a guy standing around waiting for someone to buy his wares. This particular stand, if you're curious, was somewhere on Seventh Ave, in the forties, I believe.

This is 5 x 7 inch oil on thin masonite board. Click here to bid.

"APPROACHING STORM, YOSEMITE by Alicia Tredway

This painting is a view of 'Half Dome' with an approaching storm. I've had the pleasure of painting in Yosemite along with other fellow painters and friends on several occasions. Yosemite National Park lies in the heart of California and the massive effect of glacial erosion on granite bedrock have created this breath taking unique landscape of soaring cliffs, domes and huge free falling waterfalls. Much of this painting was done on the spot several years ago but finished from photo references this past week. Some palette knife passages are still very wet. It measures 8 x 10 inches oil on Raymar canvas panel. To bid CLICK HERE . ENDED

Humming Bird, oil by Rachel K Schlueter

"COAST HEADLANDS AND CYPRESS", Oil painting by Kathy O'Leary

This painting is one of the plein air (on location) pieces I worked on during my recent trip down the coast of California. This was done on a sunny morning. It was basically clear, but the air had the usual hazy moisture off the ocean creating a softness to everything in the scene. This painting measures 9 x 12, and is done in oil, on canvas covered panel. SOLD

"Seventh Avenue, New York" by Amy Stewart--SOLD

Every now and then, a painting is just so much fun to paint. I particularly love this one because, for some mysterious reason, it was just enormously entertaining to do. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was painting in New York, and that after I finished it I washed my hands and stepped outside to go check out the most incredible little bar, making for a perfect New York night. And no, I'm not telling you the name of the bar! It's mine! Well, mine and about a million New Yorkers.

This is 8 x 10 on thin masonite panel. I'm in Greenwich Village, looking up Seventh Avenue. (or maybe Eighth Avenue. Hmmmm....)

EGRET ROOKERY - HUMBOLDT BAY, oil painting by Kathy O'Leary

This is a painting of one of my favorite views on Humboldt Bay, the Egret rookery on Indian Island. The colors of the marsh grasses and the light surrounding the island and on the water change constantly. Through the seasons, high and low tides, clear or foggy skies, its always beautiful. Several Egret and Heron species (including the Snowy Egret, and Blue Heron) nest in these trees every Spring and Summer. Its a favorite for kayakers, birders, as well as local photographers and painters. SOLD

Stellar Jay by Rachel K Schlueter

Oil on 6" panel. The Stellar Jay is a striking beauty and noisy force of nature. Birds are heavenly subjects. Enjoy!

"VIEW OF INDIAN ISLAND - HUMBOLDT BAY" oil painting by Kathy O'Leary

This is a view of one of the islands in Humboldt Bay. It's a beautiful spot, inhabited only by a few local residents, and in Spring and Summer, nesting Egrets and Herons. It is also a sacred spot for the Wiyot people, the original inhabitants of the island. I consider it one of the most beautiful places on our bay, and have painted and photographed it dozens of times. This, and Saturday's paintings are just the latest in this series. This painting is 8 x 10, on canvas covered panel. SOLD

"Smith's Bar" by Amy Stewart--SOLD

I just got back from a three-week painting trip in New York. I took a workshop with Karin Jurick the first week, and then, because I had my paints and supplies with me, I actually continued to paint for a little over a week--until I had to stop to let the paintings dry. I didn't want to carry an easel around New York and set up somewhere--painting is kind of messy, so clean-up is awkward, and the people keep moving around! But I did work from photos, using the fire escape in my apartment as a studio. Bliss!

This is Smith's Bar in Hell's Kitchen, on 8th Avenue around West 44th Street. I just loved the neon sign.

Many more New York paintings in the weeks to come--I have a stack of paintings I finished while I was there, and hundreds of photographs I hope to paint soon!

This is 8 x 10 oil on board, with slots in the back for easy unframed hanging. Click here to bid, and don't forget to check out my other paintings here.

COAST CYPRESS, oil painting by Kathy O'Leary

This is a scene from a trip along the Northern California coast. I love the softness that the coastal moisture and clouds can create.

"TEJON RANCH OAKS" Oil Painting by Kathy O'Leary

This is a scene from a recent paint out I attended with 20 California Art Club members at the Tejon Ranch in Southern California. The ranch property begins at the north end of the Grapevine (I-5) and extends for several miles covering vast areas of mountains, hills and valleys, grasslands, trees and wildflowers. Tejon Ranch, originating from a Spanish Land Grant, is a publicly held company now 90% preserved through land trust agreements. For two days we had the opportunity to photograph and paint this beautiful rugged and protected land rarely accessible to the outside world. I loved the composition and light of this scene. It reminded me of other California painter's efforts to capture similar scenes during an earlier era in our state.
This painting is oil on an 8 x 10 canvas covered panel. SOLD

Color Kitten by Rachel K Schlueter

9x12" oil on panel. I am learning to paint quite fast with an almost desperate urge to produce something artistic QUICK! ...why? because i have an adorable puppy who's bladder is probably the size of a thimble, he needs to relieve himself often when he's with me at the studio. I'm getting in shape too running up and down the stairs all day. Funny thing... this painting looks more like my puppy "Lobo" than a kitten.

Black Cat with Red by Rachel K Schlueter

Oil on 9"x12 panel. When I showed my husband Stock this painting he asked me if I knew there was paint splattered across the cat? I replied "yes, it's expressionism" he said "it's sloppy" we laughed and I agree but it's how I like to paint.

"HILLTOP", Oil Painting by Kathy O'Leary
