Oil Painting Of Farmstand With Sunflowers
This oil painting was done on stretch canvas with Windsor & Newton and Grumbacher oils paints. The local farm stand had a beautiful display of sunflowers for sale in addition to fruits, vegetables and flowers. Using a series of reference photos I sketched the design onto the canvas using soft charcoal sticks. After covering the canvas in thin layer of burnt sienna the layers of paint were added, allowing for 3 to five days of drying time before more details could be painted . Working dark to light until complete. A drying time of 3 to 6 months is usually required before a protective varnish can be added.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have always worked with oil paints and various crafts but once I took a course in the art of making stained glass I was hooked. Each new project that I start is still exciting to me. Being able to draw a new pattern and then create the piece in glass is very rewarding. I work in the Tiffany style of glass crafting - cutting out each individual piece of a design then grinding, foiling and soldering. (Imagine making a large glass puzzle). I work closely with my customers to insure they are pleased with the design colors and framing . Pricing will calculated by size, detail and framing requested.
My other passion is jewelry design. The designs I make are known to-the-trade as 'Bridge' jewelry - between fine and costume. I use only semi-precious gems, pearls, crystals and Sterling silver or gold. No paste or base metal. Wedding parties ,special occasions or everyday items are made to order . Gift boxes are included.
