"Still Life with Red Crock"
appox 18 x 14
watercolor
$50.00
I was working on letting the colors and the water play in the positive and negative spaces.
This painting reminds me of how I began gardening.  I started many years ago, assisting my grandmother in her garden.  She planted so much more than her energy could tend.  I planted, weeded and harvested more and more with her through the years.  As our garden became smaller and she sat more on the bale of straw under her apple tree, I learned how to work the soil and plan a garden.  When I planted my own, I only planted to have my own flowers to paint.  Grandma generously shared her fruits and vegetables, but not her flowers.  Now my garden grows each year.

"Still Life with Blue Crock"
appox, 22x28
I got my watercolors out over the summer.  I always find myself returning to this media.  I love the freshness and purity of the brushstrokes I find with watercolor.  This was one of my lessons inspired by a man who grows wonderful glads late in the summer.

"A Walk Around a Still Life"
20x26
Acrylic on Canvas
$100.00
jhogarth21@gmail.com

This was inspired by a lesson I was teaching on Henri Matisse and how he used pattern and color to capture the essence of his imagery.  I went more of a David Hockney, Walk Around it, approach, incorporating the patterns and flat colors of Matisse, but in greater detail.  Continuing fun with patterns and of course color.  





"Baby on Green"
22x28
oil on paper, sewn onto canvas

This is one of many of the naked baby series.

"Jackson"
oil on canvas
There was something special about this horse.  He was great fun to ride.  His trot had that swing we all strive for in our horse.  He was fun to paint too.  Time to clean some things up though.  
$80.00
email if interested: jhogarth21@gmail.com

This pair of paintings are 18 x 6 inches each.  They were completed using watercolor techniques, but with food coloring and fabric dyes.  I am cleaning out the studio and would like to see these enjoyed by a bird or nature lover.
