Another 4x6 painting, perfect card for that special person or mat and frame any size from 8x10 to 11x14.

A wonderful warm day on the patio last week. Was working on 8 new paintings. All are now completed and several framed. I'm quite happy with the results. This one is a 4x6 which looks great in a small easel back gold frame or matted in white and framed in an 8x10. I find it warm and relaxing.

woodcut print

I carved the image into a wood block and then inked and printed it on heavy watercolor paper. Artist signed and pulled 1/1. Email for price. Very reasonable. Also check out my website peggyappleby-artist.com

Monhegan Island in three values

Painted on canvas in three colors, black, blue, and white. Easy on the eyes. Can be framed as is in wood frame or matted and framed under glass in metal or wood. This is a scene created on site on the island, a beautiful artist colony, ten miles off the coast of Maine. Fantastic inexpensive lobster readily available on and off the island!

An oil painting of our quarter-horse, Mary. She would have been good at racing and was very spirited; but our children rode and exhibited her in 4-H shows. Measurements are 16x20. Lovely framed in a four inch Mexican frame with liner. Photo of painting framed and prices will be emailed to you if you send me your email address. Photograph does not show details and feet are shown in painting. (Photographed will be replaced with a better one as soon as I learn how to use my new camera!

Pastel kitten

KITTY KAT!

This kitten actually had two different colored eyes which I liked but I gave her blue. She was beautiful, friendly, and a little strange, but the poor little thing was sleeping inside the hood of a car and got cut when it's owner started the engine. We adopted her and she was definitely one of our favorites. The painting is pastel and is 16x20. It is tired of being on my living room wall and is being offered, frame and all for only $75, less than a third of regular price. If you love her, give her a home!

SCULPTURE seated nude

Posted previously, but this is a slightly better photo.

SCULPTURE girl with pot

This sweet child was hand-built using clay, fired and painted, and then finished with a gloss medium.

Majestic eagle

Hand-built clay sculpture fired to a high temperature, glazed and re-fired.

joyful dancers

This is a 4x6 figurative watercolor, which I call, "joyful dancers." I like the flowing softness and warmth of the colors and the graceful movement of the figures.  I sold the original, but have a copy which you can buy for only $40.

Only 4x6 inches, this little watercolor is a beautiful notecard or matted in an 8x10, 11x14, or larger mat and framed, it would be an exciting yet soft and warm addition to any room. It's freer than some of my earlier work; I love it and hope you find it enjoyable also!

This is an 8x10 oil on board painting of a young child (my granddaughter, Lea) surfing. Does it look like your child or grandchild? Wouldn't it make a nice gift!

I can also do one of your loved one from your photograph for the same price.

seated child sculpture

"Seated child is a hand-bilt clay scupture fired to a high temperature and then finished in a special bronze-tone finish using a special technique created by the artist. Offered for the first time at the special price of only $250.

This sculpture, like the others, was created in clay, fired and finished with a bronze patina. I call her "seated nude."

5x7 oil on board: a different snow scene

This painting is an 8x10 pastel on mitients paper; Paintings created "en plein air" (outdoors in front of the subject), have brighter colors and often more contrast between light and dark. I like the pastel look of this one.

This is an 18x24 pastel on Canson Mi tients paper. It has been selected for a show at the Forsyth Museum in Austin, Texas which will take place in June. It is entitled, "A path in the Woods."

Starting Over

I canceled my gmail account and there went my blog. Oh, well; I'll start again, this time trying to be concise. I spent most of my early life dancing, and still enjoy that, as well as, acting and singing. My focus since 1965, however has been painting and sculpting.

I have taught in public and private schools and galleries; have done portraits and other art work on consignment; been accepted into many juried shows; owned my own gallery; and have work in public and private collections in several states including NJ, GA, SC, VA, FL, and TX.

I create because I must. It is one way in which I share myself with others. It is an expression of what I see, think, and feel. I am at peace with myself and the world when I am creating works of beauty.

I will again be posting photos of my work, starting with the latest.

This painting is a pastel entitled, "Peaceful Seas." I especially enjoy seascapes and paint them also in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. This one is 8x10, matted and framed. Prices start at $95.
