2022 Window #9

mini original watercolor  $300.

This is a practice window for a larger painting. It is from Stratford Hall in VA. I love the harmony of the colors.

For Sale ~ Paintings held in Estate...

Back in 1993 I had a special client purchase 3 prints and an original. They have proudly hung in their home all this time.  Since then one passed away and the other is in a home. They need to settle the estate and would like to sell the paintings quickly. I offered to post them here. If you are interested please contact Bob Ulmer.

The estate will take $600! This is a DEAL and a STEAL!! Don't wait, send him an email.
This is way below market value but they need to move them quickly.

Original price was $100,  they have sold on the secondary market for up to $150!

And the last print is   "Star Barn"  framed 25x29' in walnut
Print # 155/525   I am actually still selling this very large print for $175.

"Bittersweet"

Image: 10x16 Unframed: $50.
Framed: 15x21" $100.
The bittersweet vine is so beautiful but unruly. It fits nicely in this copper bucket! The redish orange berries signal the end of Fall, Winter is coming...


"Sailing"

Image: 9x13 Unframed: $45.
Framed: 14x18" $85.
This is a quiet painting featuring cool shadows. The boat makes you think of sailing and warm Summer days.

Another interesting stack, these were pale pumpkins.  I am thinking one more then I am finished with pumpkins till next year.

Meanwhile its crazy busy here.  I am painting.  There is lots of  mat cutting and framing going on in the studio.  Supplies are coming in daily.   We still cannot find a replacement cream matboard.  Getting some new samples on Friday but not feeling confident.   Menus are spread out on the table but decisions have not been made.  The painter and carpenter are in and out but the house is still not finished so the furniture is not put back and Linda has to wait to start setting up the panels.  It is getting down to the wire.  Linda WAS calm...

Spent the weekend cutting down glass, finished a larger painting, sanded our bathroom cabinet,  plus some jobs around the house and got a bike ride.  Suddenly the weekend is over!

How many ways can you paint pumpkins? These old steps were from Waterford, VA.

We went to get pumpkins for our porch and was able to get some new pumpkin subjects so I should be good for a few more.

Stacked pumpkins are so interesting in both shapes and colors. A bit of a challenge in watercolor, these kept me focused today.

Planning on a few more pumpkins this week.

Over the weekend I cut several cases of glass and cut the mats for some finished new paintings.  Linda was working on cutting mat board and figuring out frame and supply orders.  We partied through the weekend.  Started with Thursday night dinner with Hildebrands.  Friday night we spent with Linda's brother Jimmy and his wife Trinket who were up visiting from Newport News, VA.  It was nice for Linda to have time with her brothers.   Saturday night we had pizza with our travel buddies the Linns and the Woodruffs.   Sunday I painted and Linda cleaned.  

2022 Pumpkin #2

I am not 100% sure of the provenance but I think this is from our friend Nancy and it may be historic Rock Ford from a few years ago.

It's pumpkin season!  This turned out great, it glows.

We returned home yesterday and unpacked for the last time this year.  All the show supplies got put away.  The camper went for winterizing.  My show season is finished and now I can concentrate on my Open House.  Linda just put in a huge supply order with costs way up.  They discontinued the cream we have been using for 40 years.  Linda is having trouble finding a substitute which is causing great stress.  My new prints have been proofed and ready to print.  Since we had been away the past two weeks Linda is feeling a bit behind but by the weekend she should be caught up.  My only job is to paint!  I finished two nice pieces this past week.  I will show them later.   It has also been two weeks since I rode my bike so a ride is next on my must do list!

2022 Still life #29

mini original watercolor   $250.

I love the challenge of painting silver.  I probably should have drawn this smaller to get the whole lamp in however it was the base that moved me not the top glass.  I liked the challenge of getting the pattern painted.  So your minds eye will have to finish off the top!

I threw in some extra stock, a few more boxes of original paintings, our "costumes" and restocked the food box.  Ready for my last show of the season.

A Lancaster County sunset.

We are back home from Bedford.   Unpacked and laundry done.  Already repacking for the Waterford Show.  We are juggling a big show, the kitchen remodel and Open House demands.  I cut 5 mats for my original paintings I am saving for Open House.  Linda is emptying boxes and filling up the kitchen cabinets and she found her hors d'oeuvres folder!
Invites are being printed and Tuesday I proof the printing of two new prints.
