PAINTINGS BY COLLEEN COSGROVE

Umbrage
6 x 8, framed $300
My cat, Hazel Anne, loves to sleep in this spot all day. Unless, of course, I decide to paint her. This was a great exercise in capturing the pose and light quickly. Painted from life in about 1.5 hours. 

ONE MORE SLICE
6 x 12 framed $350
Had to paint this one fast, before the whipped cream melted away... 

NOVEMBER-ISH
6 x 12, framed, $350
For weeks I've had my eye on this lovely scene of the pond near my home, and today - when it's 45 and damp - I finally made it outside to paint it.

GOLDEN HOUR

11 x 14 oil $600
There is a fleeting magical moment in the autumn, just after sunset, when the leaves seem to glow from within in shades of orange and gold. 

PROMENADE
12 x 36 oil on canvas $1200
Goslings wandering about on the shore of a pond.

MACALASTER NOIR
24 x 30 oil $900
Inspired by and early-morning walk through my old neighborhood in St. Paul Minnesota on a beautiful, snowy day. Residents of the area will notice the spelling of the name of this century-old building near St. Clair and Snelling is different from "Macalester", that we see on the college and name of this part of St. Paul. That's just how it is.
