For this painting I worked from a family photo of my dad with my daughter when she was almost 4 years old (she is now almost 13). They are walking down a path on the way to Spirit Lake. It is a typical forest landscape for the high Uinta Mountains, with a sunny meadow behind them and a higher ridge/baldy behind the meadow. I wanted to start painting some pieces with figures....I plan on doing more. This one is 11 x 14 inches and painted with oils on gessoed canvased which has been stretched over a 1/2 inch thic wood panel. It occurs to me that I haven't listed my prices for smaller sized oil paintings in my blog. OK here they are:

16 x 20 inches, $200.00
11 x 14 inches, $100.00
8 x 10 inches, $50.00

These smaller sizes don't have a frame and shipping included in the price. It costs about $15.00 to pack and ship a painting these sizes.

I have decided to post more of my painting adventures from now on. I have good news! The Ragged Edge Cafe in Gettysburg is showing my work in October. I have a lot of painting to do to get ready for it. The past few months I have been doing lots of small paintings and putting them on ebay. My seller name on ebay is Katheryn Stott Buxton. I try to put on one or two a week. Here are some photos of one I sold last week on ebay.


Last month I did a couple of commisioned pieces for a dear, dear friend. The portrait is of Maggie, her daughter in her favorite ballet outfit. That one measures 16 x 20 inches. The other one of the leaping dancer measures 34 x 38 inches.


The past couple of weeks I have been working on some commissioned pieces that I recieved from a couple who bought a watercolor of mine off of ebay. They commissioned me to paint four copies of some Victorian Era paintings by James Jacques Joseph Tissot Because I have been trying to finish them I don't currently have any paintings on ebay but hopefully I will have something new next week.
