Small paintings

I love small paintings. They are usually studies for larger paintings or just a creative way to rest when I have been struggling with a large piece.
Here is one I just finished: Oil on MDF panel size 6x6"

Tuscany

Finished this one today. One of my largest paintings to date. It's a view of Tuscany, the countryside near San Gimignano.
Oil on canvas size 24x30".

Wheatfield and poppies near the sea

I have been painting with good results lately. The strokes seem to be more energetic and confident. My palette has become more intense. I long for Summer.
Oil on canvas size 16x20.

July in the Olive grove

Hot hot hot...Summer in Sicily.
Oil on canvas size 16x20"

The Sicilian garden

This is a magic place for me, raised in Sicily since I was two years old. A place I come back to every year to bask in the sun and enjoy the rugged beauty of this wonderful island. This small garden orchard belongs to my sister in law, Adelaide. Calla Lilies are my favorite flower. Here they thrive majestically raising their white cups among the luscious almost leathery leaves.
This painting is a 16x20" oil on canvas.

Canadian Meadow in Spring

This is an image I glimpsed from the car while driving to Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island. I was a passenger so I could snap a photo. The print is blurred but still retains the colors and magic of the sun setting on the meadow.
I loved painting this piece. Oil on canvas size 16x20"
