Happy Halloween - 5x7 Oil on Masonite - Tina Calle, Hickory, NC artist

I love October. And on October 1st, we pull out all of the Halloween decorations. This little votive sits on my counter under the LED lights and gets lit up without a candle. I did this quick painting while helping a friend on her bigger painting. The people who have seen it love the feeling it evokes for October! Happy Halloween!

Abstract Realism - Sunset on the Water - 8x8inch Oil on Linen MDF - TCalle

This is a painting from a picture that my cousin recently posted from his family vacation. I created this 8 inch x 8 inch oil on linen MDF board using his photo as inspiration. The camera didn't nearly capture the beauty of the original. The painting sold the very next day. I float framed it since the paint ran out to the edges so nicely. It's a gorgeous piece. :)

Ballet 8x8 (inch) Impressionist painting - oil on hardboard panel - Sold:)

This lovely 8x8 inch piece was created quickly from an imagined setting in my studio. The colors were inspired by my favorite pottery cup. I loved the colors so much I decided to use them in a painting. The dancers were the right focal point to bring all of these unusual colors together. The painting sold as quickly as I painted it! :) The painting was done the last week of August 2013. I had it professionally framed for the family.

I am visiting Pass Christian MS this week. I found the crabs at the shrimp boat docks to be a nice subject for an abstract. The border and painting are 12x16 total.
