DREAMS OF TUSCANY

2010-02-25T16:35:00.000-08:00

This is a 12 x 16" acrylic on stretched canvas. I have tried to combine some of the elements that make the Tuscan landscape such a memorable experience for those who have traveled there. Against a backdrop of purple mountains, the velvety green hills slope gently down to a small lake. A village with its own small vineyard lies above the road with Cypress trees and looks out over a beautiful and peaceful valley. SOLD

Guiding Light

2010-02-25T16:13:00.000-08:00

This is an 14 x 18" oil on stretched canvas. Sunset colors in the sky are broken by streaks of feathery clouds and the ocean captures the reflections of blues and golds in the water and waves. Sitting on its rocky outcropping, the lighthouse and keeper's home bring solidity to the view. sold

Lighting the Way

2010-02-19T15:57:00.003-08:00

An original signed acrylic painting 12 x 16 " on stretched canvas available unframed. Perched on a rocky outcropping, this sturdy lighthouse lights the way for mariners and enables them to avoid the treacherous perils that lie in nearby seas. The lavender and rose clouds are reflected in the water and the natural colors of rocks and trees lend themselves to fit in many decors.

TAHOE REMEMBERED

2010-02-11T15:52:00.000-08:00

This is a 15 x 30" original acrylic on stretched canvas, ready to frame. As part of my "mountain series" of paintings, Lake Tahoe offers a virtual wealth of scenic beauty. In this view, Mt. Tallac in the north with its snow-laden cross is visible in the distance and forms the backdrop by a lake that possesses numerous shades of blues and greens. Its subtle colors change with the depths and sky reflections. Many a fisherman has enjoyed casting from those parts of the rocky shore line depicted whereas the south shore is a summers vacationers paradise on sandy beaches amongst the tall pines. A year-around tourist delight, this painting is aimed at capturing a tiny bit of the beauty nature has gifted us in the high Sierra. Priced at $65 with $18.50 shipping. Please contact me at donnaddrickey@sbcglobal.net if interested or questions. Reference painting in the subject line.

BIG VALLEY

2010-02-11T15:36:00.000-08:00

An original acrylic, 16 x 20 on stretched canvas, ready to frame. This new work was inspired by the well-known German artist, Anton Gutknecht (1907-1988) who painted many views of the mountains and valley found in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Although it is impossible to duplicate his depth of colors, this is an attempt to capture some of the beauty he graced us with through his oil paintings. I am still adapting to working in acrylics as most of my art has been in oils, but am pleased with my efforts expressed here. Asking $49 plus $15 shipping (unframed)

Originally uploaded by http://www.flickr.com/people/11998271@N05/

This famous spot has been painted by so many and in many different lights. Located near Sedona, Arizona, in real life the nearby settings were really not so great! When I visited there was an old delapidated mobile and various junk items right across from the spot where painters and photographers would obtain this view. Perhaps by now they've been removed! Anyway, I loved doing this oil and the lavenders, reds, blues of sky and water were an adventure about 30 years ago when I painted it. It is in my home and not for sale.

Snow in the High Desert country is not a surprise. Often, traveling over Highway 395 from Susanville down through California or over into Nevada, this is a common sight. The original oil painting is a 16 x 20 on canvas. The contrast of the rugged Sierra peaks in the background with the hilltop of snow and cactus in front offers a different and pleasant view.

On the ship home across the Atlantic he passed away, along with many others, due to high seas-thus the painting has special meaning to me.

This is an 18 x 24 original oil painting on canvas. In the coastal area between Brookings and Gold Beach, Oregon, there are many scenic spots similar to the one depicted here.
