These are several oil paintings of my current favorite subject: orange groves with foothills and mountains in the background. Looking at these (and showing them off) helps me regain my confidence as an artist after the tiny face show-down.
Citrus Cove (sold)
Looking East (sold)
Lemon Cove (sold)
Picking Time (10×10″, available, $150)
In the Orchard (sold)
If you have a hankering for a painting of this type of scene, I am available for commissions. Just tell me the size, which mountains you want visible in the background, and anything else you’d like in the painting. Then, I will put your project in the queue.
There. Seeing all those “sold” signs, and knowing there is a queue all helped repair the ding to my confidence after the face trouble.

“Looking East” is still my favorite!
And please don’t think of yourself as some sort of “failure” just because you’re not good at drawing a *specific* person’s face! Think of it as a learning experience of discovering where your talent lies, and when you need to pass along a subject to someone else. And that someone else may be lousy at drawing cabins, mountains, and orchards!
Sharon, that is just how I view it. My failure was in not accepting my inability to draw tiny faces. I want to live in Realsville, and stop pretending as if I can draw anything.
Hey, we must be from the same town! I like living in Realsville.
