I saw a photo of a windmill with the sun behind it. I think it came out well. It is a small painting. It is on canvas board instead of stretched canvas. I like the different hues of red that is in the photo and tried to replicate them in the painting. One could see it as a sunset or as a sunrise; depending on which way one is looking. 

It is on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. I chose items that would look good with it on them. Having the image of the painting on different items is like sharing the painting without having to sell the original. I put a lot of work into each one.

Blue Teddy Bear

I created this painting of a blue teddy bear just for fun. I did not want to create a traditional sitting pose but one that would seem more playful. I chose blue since it is my favorite color. I think it would work with any color or colors. 

It was created during an art class that had students of all ages. The thing I liked about the class was one could chose the subject to paint and medium to create it in (not always paint but could be charcoal, pencil, pen, etc). 

I have created other paintings of teddy bears. One was a group of teddy bears looking at the person viewing the painting. I had sent it to my sister who later gave it to her friend. 

I have it on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. I think it takes on an abstract look to it since the whole painting is not entirely on any one item.

Blue Teapot

This wasn't created from a photo but from my imagination. I thought it would be neat to do a painting of a blue teapot. It is not perfect but it was a lot of fun to create. I chose a teapot since I like drinking tea. It is blue since I like the color blue. I don't think the design actually exists. It is not a big painting. I think it would be nice in an area where people enjoy tea. 

It is on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. I chose items that it will look good on.

Colorful Flowers

I did a painting of some colorful flowers. I thought it would look good as a painting. It came out pretty nice. It took awhile to get just the look I was wanting. I usually like to do the painting of the flower as a big one but this was a bunch of smaller flowers. I called it colorful flowers since I don't remember what kind they were. It was a lot of fun to create.

Like so many of my artwork I have done, it was completed in an adult education class. It was nice since we chose what we wanted to do a painting of and the art teacher helped us achieve the look we wanted to get. Creating art was a lot of fun and very educational. 

I have it on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. Some of the items I chose to have it on are jewelry. It seems like a good match. I need to take higher resolution photos so I can expand the number of items my artwork is on.

Abstract Forrest?

I did a painting of a forest in winter time. It is of a photo but it took on an abstract look. There are times that I think it would look good right side up or upside down or even sideways. My initials - the way I 'sign' a painting - is always on the bottom right of the painting. It is - in cases like this - how I figure out which way to show it.

It was created in an adult education art class. There were 'students' of all ages in the classes doing all sorts of art. I liked the class since we could paint what we wanted and the medium that we chose. 

I have it on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. I chose items that I thought it would look good on.  Once I get a better photos's - ones with higher density - I can ad more items for this painting.

Yellow Flowers

I did a painting of yellow flowers. It has an abstract look to if but it is based on a photo of flowers. It is not a big painting.  It did not take long even though there is some detail to the flowers. It did not come out as well as I had hoped but it does look nice. It was an earlier painting completed when I was first taking a class in art. It was with other similar sized paintings of flowers. 

I have it in my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. I have put it on items that I thought it would look good on. I don't make a lot of money from my store. Cafe Press does all the work and I get a small percentage from the sale of the item. It is neat that one can upload an image or design and sell things with it on.

Multi Colored Row Boats

I saw a photo of many colorful row boats docked and tied together at a park. I liked how they were different colors. The row boats themselves were varied in style. The photo of the boats were boats. I chose the wider canvas since I wanted it to have different format than the paintings I normally do. It was a lot of fun to create. I like how it came out.

It was created in an adult education class in New Jersey. It was in a local high school. It was in the evening. It was once a week. The class has since stopped for a variety of reasons. It was a positive experience. 

I have it on my Cafe Press TomLeeM store. It is on some items that I thought it would look good on. Once I get better higher density photos of my artwork, it will have a greater number things it will be on.
