Original Oil on Canvas Paintings

I'm listing a couple of my original oil paintings in my etsy store. This was my original intention for this shop, that it be an outlet for me to sell my art that I have already created as well as my art as I complete it in real time. The painting above is one that I did last week in my Tuesday painting class that I am taking from the master Del Parson at Dixie State University this semester. I completed this painting in under 3 hours ( I am very proud of that fact and am impressed that I am improving at least with regard to time, when it comes to my oil painting) By the way, Del Parson gives this piece a 5 out of 5 (This is not an official endorsement, but my grade of "5 points." Yes it was an assignment, and it is a reproduction of another artist's work. I do not know the name of the original painting or the name of the artist. I used a photocopy as a guide while painting this.) 

The painting below is one of the first oil paintings that I ever completed. It is my very first landscape painting. It was completed in either 2004 or 2005 (I don't know the exact date). It is a rendering of the Knysna Bay in South Africa. I painted it from a photograph in a book on South Africa that my parents have.  I have always loved the bright blue sky in this painting. It is the reason I chose this landscape as a subject. For more information on the paintings and to get a closer look, visit my shop:
