Today's painting's were painted sometime in September and November 2014, but have not been seen on this blog yet, so I thought I'd share them with you. They are all currently on display at the Creative Wellness Center in Rochester, NY, but are also still available for sale, if you're interested. Just clickon the "Buy Now" button(s),  follow the directions that follow,  and the painting(s) will be all yours!

Over the last few days, I've been trying to come up with a theme for the new 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge (which will be in January) with no success. I just can't narrow it down! I love to paint everything from still lifes to animal portraits, from landscapes to people portraits!

Soooooo . . . I was thinking . . . Why even pick a theme? Or better yet . . . Why not choose an "Every and Anything" theme instead?

Yep, in January 2015 I will be painting a little of everything and anything for the painting challenge. So be sure to stop by this blog everyday in January, starting with tomorrow, to be surprised by what new paintings I unveil!: I may paint some landscapes, some florals, some portraits, some still lifes . . . Who knows?! I'm open to any and everything!

Enjoy and 'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care, and God bless!

Day 3 of 30 in 30 : "Flowers in a Vase"

"Flowers in a Vase" Oil on Canvas, 8"x 8", Original Painting , $50+$10.95 Shipping & Handling

Today marks the third day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you my third oil painting for the challenge titled "Flowers in a Vase"!

"Flowers in a Vase" is the third oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 28 days, all of the subject matters for my paintings will consist of either metal or glass or both. To learn more about why I chose "Metal and Glass" as my theme for the challenge click here!

So far, I think my little "Metal and Glass" collection is coming out great! And I just love this little 8"x 8" square painting. I love the warm, saturated red and yellow colors of the flowers contrasted with the more cooler purple colored flowers. And I just love how this black background makes those colors "pop" out into the foreground of this painting. :)

The reflections were minimal in this piece, but I think the result is simple, yet, elegant! What do you think?

Red Roses in a Silver Vase

Original Painting: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Hello everyone! Look what's drying on the easel ! ! !

I have my new painting which was inspired from last week's "What Should I Paint Wednesday" for you today! After the voting on Facebook, last week, this still life of red roses in a silver vase won out.

Love the softness of this piece which kind of reminds me of pastel -- But it isn't. This piece: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase" was painted in oil paint! Fooled ya, didn't I?

I thought I'd switch things up from my usual pastels and decided to do an oil painting today! A rarity from me!  :)

I hope you enjoy!

Oh  --  And P.S. Please don't forget to vote on Facebook tomorrow in order to vote on what gets painted next week!

Til later, fellow art lovers!
