 "Mosaic Sugar" is a sweet oil painting of a whimsical sassy heart surrounded by colorful mosaic-like shapes. Give your sweetheart an original oil painting for Valentine's Day....or better yet, ask your sweetheart to give me a call and I will take care of your request.  It is gold framed, but can be taken out and displayed on an easel all by itself, or you can frame it yourself.  This photo shows how it looks on my antique sideboard in my dining room, right near my easel where I'm painting bunny rabbits on this gloomy cold and rainy day.
"Mosaic Sugar" is a standard 5"x7" size. Happy Valentine's Day!

  "Melody" is a sweet lady mermaid who plays the harp. She is the only mermaid that has musical skills, when you turn a conch shell up to your ear and listen...........shhh....you just might hear sweet symphonic music.

  "Buttercup" swims around in the ocean looking elegant and beautiful.  She doesn't know about diseases, earthquakes and politics (that's why she looks so young and pretty). 
A print of this oil painting is on display at Smellie Bloomers, go by and check it out.  A variety of print sizes are available.  Can't you picture this beautiful mermaid in your home?  Comments or questions may come to me at kbunn@ec.rr.com

 A still life with some of my favorite subject matter.  This was created while staying at Oak Island for a few days last summer.  I especially enjoyed painting the surprises in the wine glasses, look closely and you might see something that belongs in water, but not in wine.

 A local business owner asked me to create a painting of his restaurant, Hamburger Paradise.  I really enjoyed painting the red corvette as well as the building.  This painting is one of my first architectural style paintings.  I have truly enjoyed the wide variety of subject matter that I painted last year....portraits, dogs, dragonflies, mermaids, buildings, still-lifes, sea life, lakescapes, seascapes, landscapes and flowers, to name a few.  Each subject and collector speaks to me differently and I enjoy the challenge of digging way down into my soul to capture just the right look or moment with my paint brush or palette knife. I look forward to additional painting challenges in 2010.

  This is a recent commission piece created especially for a mother of four daughters.  She has a busy life, but always puts her kids first.  I chose the title "Silver Linings" because at the end of her long hard day, she lights up when she sees her children.  They are her "Silver Linings".
This piece is done loosely with a huge brush and palette knife.  I added silver leaf to help achieve movement.

  Another painting I did for a special young lady, Santa brought this to her for Christmas.  She loves penguins and has a beautiful little Yorkie named Kiki.  I do hope she liked the painting, it was sheer fun painting penguins on the beach! Love you Nichole!
I just wish I was sitting in that beach chair right now, I would give Kiki a dog treat!
