SPRINGTIME AT FIESTA ISLAND

2009-05-25T09:22:00.000-07:00

DOGS, FREE AND FROLICKING AT FIESTA ISLAND WITH THE SAN DIEGO SKYLINE IN THE BACKGROUND IS AN AWESOME CONTRAST BETWEEN NATURAL AND MANMADE BEAUTY.

RECEPTION AT TWIGGS MAY 1, 2009

2009-05-25T09:16:00.000-07:00

OK, IT WASN'T FORMAL BUT IT WAS FUN AND FRIENDLY.

SLICES OF MY LIFE

2009-05-25T09:05:00.001-07:00

THIS WAS THE THEME OF MY RECENT SHOW AT TWIGGS. MAYBE I'LL SHOW YOU A FEW IMAGES FROM THE RECEPTION IF I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW. NICE TURNOUT AND ENCOURAGING SALES. OF COURSE THESE SLICES OF MY LIFE DEPICT THE SWEET APPLES AND SOUR LEMONS, INCLUDING THE PITS, THAT MAKE US ALL STRONGER AND HEALTHIER.

Sweet Pea Goes Wild on Back Porch

2008-06-11T17:14:00.000-07:00

Got your attention! This one is 11 x 14 in. for a change and gallery wrapped as usual. It's my own back porch and wild sweetpeas. The price is $120 + $10 shipping to anywhere in the USA.
I'll be dropping out of Daily Painters temporarily the end of June but will reduce the prices of some unsold paintings. Please look at my gallery on http://www.dailypainters.com/ for bargains. I'll miss the all artists and customers on Daily Painters.

Did You Say "Walk?"

2008-06-06T20:30:00.001-07:00

I posted this before but it was bland and boring so I added the vibrant colors. I like it much better. I'm curious to see if you do too. 5x7 in. original oil on gallery wrapped canvas. $80 + $5 shipping

Holy Philodendron

2008-06-04T14:11:00.001-07:00

The huge split leaf philodendron is common to Mexico and parts of Southern California. It's dramatic so I thought the dark purple background would show that. 6x6 in. wrapped canvas painted on the deep sides ready to hang as is. $80 + $5 shipping

Singin' the Blues

2008-05-30T11:56:00.000-07:00

I'm proud of this one. Hope you like it too. Original oil on 6x6 in gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang as is. $80 + $5 shipping

Kitchen Window Garden

2008-05-16T20:41:00.000-07:00

Who needs a curtain in the kitchen when you have a window sill that can hold flowers year 'round? It's another that says order and chaos complement each other. This original oil painting of my kitchen window is 8 x 24 in. and available for $120.00 + $10 for very careful packing and shipping.

Did Somebody Say Walk?

2008-05-13T19:26:00.001-07:00

This is the same painting posted two days ago with slight but important improvements. Lily, the rat terrier, is reacting to the magic word, "walk" with hopeful anticipation. $70 + $5 shipping.,

Public Vegetable Market

2008-04-26T20:43:00.001-07:00

What was I thinking? Seemed like a good idea at the time...all that color arranged in a nice abstract pattern. After 2 days of severe eye strain painting all but the shelf with a 000 signature brush, I've decided it was a really stupid idea. Roots of radishes, veins on lettuce and highlights on everything aren't worth losing one's vision. Still I do like the result and may do it bigger so I can smear and dab with a big brush. $80+ $5 shipping in the USA.

What's My Story?

2008-04-22T17:29:00.001-07:00

Here's a new version of the mystery guitar player on a larger 8x8 in. canvas. It's much easier to blend and show details on a larger canvas. I'm not telling who she is or what she's thinking. That's for you to decide. I do prefer the white background. The deep sides of the canvas are painted sivery grey. These premier canvases with deep sides cost a little more but make an

outstanding statement unframed. I hope you like it.

Greece. Aged to Perfection

2008-04-15T20:10:00.001-07:00

Ancient alleys designed for small carts and burros provide the elegance of pure, simple living today in villages on the island of Paros, Greece. This 8x10 in. painting is not gallery wrapped so it can stand on a shelf, a small easel or hang in a frame of your choice.

Empty Nest

2008-04-10T16:56:00.001-07:00

Two empty nests, actually, with traces of former residents. Maybe a baseball left its mark on the window, several coats of paint gave it dignity and a mother kept her babies warm.

6x6 in. gallery wrapped canvas 1 1/2 in. deep painted on all sides and ready to hang as is. $80 + $5 shipping in the USA

Order and Chaos

2008-04-08T15:44:00.000-07:00

Can the two coexist? They can and do in this Mexican garden where screaming colors enhance the stark, unadorned architecture. They complement each other adding frivolity to serenity. 5x7 in. gallery wrapped canvas ready to hang available for $80.00 + $5.00 shipping to anywhere in the USA. email icorey@verizon.net to inquire about international shipping. Thanks for looking.

Three's a Crowd

2008-03-26T21:04:00.000-07:00

I feel good about this one. It's on a 6x6 in. gallery wrapped canvas. Even the sides are nice. Maybe I'll do one similar on a 20 x 20 in. canvas. What do you think? This one is $80 + $5 shipping.

Feather Your Nest

2008-03-22T19:05:00.001-07:00

A little gift for your mom on Mothers' Day? A hostess gift? or a sweet original painting for you to keep and enjoy. The wooden easel goes with it for $20 + $5 shipping

Past Perfect

2008-03-21T15:47:00.001-07:00

Sometimes in this complicated, angry world, do you ever wish for pure nature? Maybe we'd better be careful what we wish for. 10 x 10 in. oil painting of peaceful bliss on deep gallery wrapped canvas ready to hang $90 + 8 shipping

A Host of Golden Daffodils

2008-03-15T19:45:00.001-07:00

That floats on high o'er vales and hills

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils.'

William Wordsworth

2008-03-10T17:07:00.000-07:00

It is also available in a 1 in. wide x 1 in. deep plain smooth wooden frame with mahogany finish to complement the dark colors of the painting for $140 and $15 shipping. email icorey@verizon.net

Abandoned

2008-03-06T20:19:00.001-08:00

These reminders of our rural past can be found all across our continent. Many are being replaced by concrete jungles of look-alike tract homes and condominiums. This original 5 x 7 in. oil painting is available for $70 + $5 shipping. Please contact: icorey@verizon.net. Thanks for looking.
