Fink-Leanne-Oh Faithful of the Light Sun

Civilizations have been visiting the sea for thousands of years for rejuvenation and renewal. I have become one of the faithful. Oh Faithful of the Light, Sun, and Sea is one painting from Leanne's 'Cradle of Life' Collection. Oh Faithful of the Light, Sun and Sea Oil & cold wax on canvas 24 x 18 $2,000 Leanne Fink

Hopkins, Laura-Landscape Study 56

I love painting these small studies. They allow me an opportunity to experiment with compositions and color harmonies that often lead to larger paintings. They serve as something of a playground for me. I can try out my ideas on a smaller scale. Landscape Study 56 Oil on linen wrapped panel 12.5 x 14.5 $200 Laura Hopkins

Hopkins, Laura-August Anvil

Hopkins, Laura-August Anvil

This painting of a beautifully majestic cloud viewed from my home is a result of a more contemplative and reflective approach to my work. I frequently paint an entire painting in one go, with only a few minor adjustments after it is dry. For this painting, after the first pass dried, I employed thin transparent glazes and thin layers of opaque paint (scumbles) to attempt to capture the heat and humidity of an August Afternoon.

I finished this painting right around the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote.
