Bountiful by Roxanne Steed



12"x12" oil on archival panel

"Our ancestors viewed the earth as rich and bountiful, which it is."

-Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama


"Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe endlessly bountiful."

- Mahatma Gandhi


"Take a rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop."

- Ovid, ancient Roman classical poet

"Bountiful" 12"x12" oil on archival panel, framed, $550.
When I went to look up some thoughts on the word 'bountiful', I found it fascinating to come across the quotes of these three.

You bring your 'gifts' to the world each and every day, no matter what your calling is, artist, scientist, attorney, homemaker, engineer, teacher, etc.

You are the 'bountiful' in the lives of others. Wishing you a day filled with beauty.

Sunny Hunny-6"Squared Show! by Roxanne Steed



6"x6" oil on archival panel

"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine."

-Morris West


Yes, it's been a while since I've posted, I writing from my "secondary office" in Starbucks in Maitland, FL. I'm down here for an intense week of helping out my mom. We're getting lots done, although I still need to tackle a door-bell repair and some bathroom caulking before I leave to go home tomorrow!

I haven't had a chance to share with you the super-good news I'm so excited about! I got one of my paintings juried into the Randy Higbee Gallery 6"Squared Show, in Costa Mesa, CA. A gala artist's reception will be held on April 16th, and the show runs through May 6th. "Sunny Hunny" is a 6"x6" oil, and I'm really honored and humbled to be able to hang with the wonderful artists in this show.

I'm heading back home to CT tomorrow, back to painting...and I'm looking forward to it!

Sunny Hunny by Roxanne Steed



6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite archival artboard

"Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress."
- Epictetus


"Sunny Hunny" is a 6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite artboard, another one of my 'little gems' available from my Daily Painters Gallery or on my blog.


Good advice from Epictetus (a guy who certainly had more than his share of hardship). I'm still enjoying the color exploration of the complements blue & orange. I really loved how the light comes through the honey jar & warms up the table surface and the handle on the cup!

Orange You Sweet?! by Roxanne Steed



8"x8" oil on gessoed masonite archival artboard

"There is no blue without yellow and without orange."
- Vincent Van Gogh

"Orange You Sweet" is an 8"x8" oil on gessoed masonite artboard. Ol' Vincent sure does have a point, these two colors sure do resonate with each other. Vincent also realized that opposites on the color wheel really vibrate when placed side-by-side. He certainly took advantage of this in his own paintings. I especially loved catching that glow of amber honey reflecting onto to the blue vase. This painting is nice to pair with "Cure For A Case Of the Januaries" that I painted the other day...or they certainly can stand alone. Daisies are so cheery, especially in the dreariest of winter days.
