It’s that time of year, my favorite, Autumn. Each year I try to do at least one seasonal painting that represents the beauty of the season. A recent trip to the beautiful mountains of NC inspired this one. It’s called “Colorful Country Roads.” It is 24x24, done in oil, now available. . . . . . ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #design #artistsofinstagram #oilpainting #abstractpainting #modernart #illustration #instaart #art #painting #acrylicpainting #abstract #artgallery #contemporarypainting #artistsoninstagram #fineart #paintings #artcollector #artist #gallery #arte #artwork #artstagram #abstractart #artoftheday #rickosbornart #boonenc #mountainart #fallpainting #autumnart #autumn (at Rick Osborn, Artist) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsExvxD2q8/?igshid=6o241x0fe97b

This 30x30 colorful beauty sold this week as a direct result of my pop up art sale a couple of weeks ago. I love it when collectors love color like I do! This painting was inspired by my mom’s house and the beautiful zinnia garden she plants every year. I’m going to miss this one! . . . . . . . #artforsale #artforsalebyartist #contemporaryart #colorist #purple #rickosbornart #flowerbed #floralart #contemporarypainting (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2P2tqDxGd/?igshid=ishhrrnw8zwf

I’m thrilled and slightly 😢 that “Buttercup” sold today. This sweet painting (of my niece) is 18x18 and done on a cradled Masonite panel. A new collector fell in love with her and will display her proudly, but I’m still going to miss her! . . . . . . #artforsalebyartist #contemporaryart #portraiture #portraitartist #littlegirlart #oilpainting #buttercups #rickosbornartist #artistsoninstagram (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxsgsmjMct/?igshid=1cjwgk8fxdgy1

There are all kinds of ways to get inspired. Today, an afternoon of painting with my 6 year old niece produced this one. I rather like it, but she took it home to proudly display on her wall. It’s mixed media on cardboard canvas, 12x9. . . . . . . #creativity #contemporaryart #floralart #flowers #tulips #flowerpainting #rickosbornart (at Farmville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpwYEYD9KZ/?igshid=icf3sf16g2nr
