Green Vase with Oranges

A friend of mine bought this piece. She wanted orange and yellow! There's definitely orange and yellow in this one. Actually, this was from a photo of a bouquet my mom had received. I added the lace and the oranges. I enjoying doing paintings of someone's favorite bouquet - that way they can keep it around a bit longer! SOLD

Blue Mountain

This landscape is called "Blue Mountain". I'm not sure how many colors are in this. I really wanted to give the feeling of a cool day with lots of blues and green. I used watercolor, soft pastels and watercolor crayons.  This is 10x14 and comes matted. SOLD

Cityscapes Two

I had so much fun with color with this piece. I wanted it to have more of an urban, busy look. It's for sale.  Contact me at carolengles.artspan.com if you're interested.  There is another one that matches it. The size is  8 x 10.

Gold and Chartreuse


This painting was done with a watercolor underpainting and soft pastels on the top. I wanted it to have a lot of depth and contrast.  I really like chartreuse with purple and red. SOLD
