Southern Paintings

The following paintings are 5x7 on Canvas Panel board by RayMar.  I love painting on these RayMar panels.  I think my favorite size is 8x10.  However, when I painted these paintings I was thinking of the space between the kitchen cabinets and the countertop, so I did not want to make them too large. If you look back to the older paintings here in my blog I have quite a few Southern paintings already. I just love being from the south. 

What do you think of when someone says give me Southern things to paint?  I am not a portrait or figure artist as you know, so I am trying to figure a way to get some bare feet in my art.  Can you think of other items that are Southern? I would love to hear from you with suggestions for "Southern Paintings" to add to the Southern Collection of art.  

Some of the following paintings have sold but a few are still available for $40.00.  I can ship if you are interested in purchasing.









By the way, the winner if the September Painting Challenge was Holli A. who chose the "Country Wedding" painting as her free piece of art.  Thank you everyone that participated in the challenge with me.  Your comments help me to stay on track and complete the 30/30 challenge.

23/30 September Painting Challenge

5x7 Collards and Black Eyed Peas
Collards and Black Eyed Peas a very Southern dish.  This piece came about because I believe the leaf of the Collard to be just a beautiful as a leaf of a flower, but it seamed to be so lonely without something else added.  The peas would be a perfect compliment.  They were a challenge to get the roundness but finally it all came together like a good meal.

Don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible for the Free Art Drawing at the end of the month.
