“Teapot” is a 6″x6″ original oil on panel painting.
I used a limited palette of whites and greys to portray the subject.
The black frame with silver liner, makes a very dramatic statement.
This painting may be small, but I love the way it commands attention!
Signed by the artist. Certificate of Authenticity included.
Please note: The Tamarack Mountain Studio watermark will not be on your painting.
January White sale is on now, as this is the month for sales! First created in 1878 by John Wanamaker as a way to clear out the merchandise from his department store, white sales have now become popular for sales on linens. But I’m not selling linens, you say! Well, that’s okay, I’m still having a White sale to clear out the way for new paintings to come.
Select oil paintings are discounted for the entire month of January! If you missed out on the Black Friday Sales, here’s your chance to pick up an original one of a kind oil painting, in small sizes. Also, did you know you can make payments on any purchase? Read about it HERE.
Small works of art are easily changed in your decor. Create little vignettes along with your other collectibles to add a pop of color and interest. Small paintings can be moved from room to room, displayed in a bookcase, on a sofa table, or on a desk.
Create a wall with a theme and add small paintings in a grouping. And remember to look at your art every day! Art can help us to destress and bring beauty to our inside spaces.
The January White sale will last until the end of January so you have plenty of time to pick something up. Don’t forget Valentine’s Day is around the corner! How about a Red Rose oil painting for your sweetie? A painting will last longer than a bouquet!
Complimentary Gift Wrapping comes with every purchase and if you are a U.S. resident, enjoy FREE shipping! I hope you find something you love and will become a part of your fine art collection.
Until we meet again ~ Rhonda
The 2019 Year in Review is a little montage video of last year’s epic highlights. I can’t believe it’s the start of a new decade! 2019 flew by, don’t you agree?
I didn’t get as much painting done as I would have liked. This coming year I am making myself a goal to do way more Plein air painting. It’s not a New Year’s Resolution per se, but a small goal I’d like to complete. I tend to allow other things in life to take away from my painting time. I’m sure if you are an artist, you can relate.
This video, “2019 Year in Review”, brings back so many fond memories and I’m hoping to create many more this new year!
Here are some of the images from the video you weren’t able to fully see:
I hope you had a wonderful New Year Celebration! Until we meet again – Cheers! ~Rhonda

Creating an oil painting takes many steps and a lot of editing before it is ready for the market. Each layer must be fully dry before a new layer is added, otherwise cracking of the painting can occur. Once a painting is finished, it takes several months to dry before the varnish is added. After the varnish is fully dry, a painting is framed unless it has been painted on a gallery wrapped box canvas. Gallery wrapped box canvas paintings are meant to be displayed without a frame. You can see why the purchase of an oil painting is an investment.
You can shop for my original oil paintings by clicking the Paintings tab in the header. I look forward to having you as one of my many collectors!

My Plein Air oil painting of a White Lily Flower is just about completed. I began this painting a few weeks ago when I decided to paint one of my Lily flowers in Plein air. You can read about the painting experience here. Despite the weather issues I had to endure, I’m very happy with the final outcome of the White Lily Flower oil painting! The painting size is 6″x6″ and was painted on a gesso panel. It may be small in size but the composition and the vibrant colors make an exciting statement.
The painting looks better in person because it is hard to capture light colors with a camera. The yellow hues of the petals are a vibrant lemon color and the cool greens pop against the yellow hues. The orange highlights on the anthers define their volume while the muted purple of the flower’s stigma portrays its shiny surface. Dark jewel tones of Viridian, Cerulean blue and a bit of Burnt Sienna were used in the background, in order to showcase the Lily. One can almost imagine the intoxicating lovely smell of this beautiful flower.
Thank you for stopping by. Until next time, much love! ~ Rhonda
