I can always fit a mini one in and I haven't painted still life for quite a while so I was able to use a favorite turquoise bowl with lovely fresh lemons as my subject. This is for sale on DailyPaintworks and there will be another two coming up! The image is a bit darker than in life, I had trouble finding the right light to photograph it. <br /></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p> </p><blockquote style="border: medium none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br /><div><div> <p></p></div></div></blockquote>Karen Johnston Daily Paintingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17853035587707203349noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388698329497802999.post-78973247256180471832020-08-14T17:00:00.001+12:002020-08-14T17:01:47.231+12:00Fresh Snow<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyUS_hqrUKW518vv-y_F8wwDPOww9FU0nFu8wIOHeDyjruAwN4qvm5EhxOY9P39UDwV-QzbMOlOMDDsxO7IfB1BXEzplUR7_OxwZLgu3DnSHH5jpXyQXF-QWaRRYngqtGhWSkBYgmUxywM/s1877/First+snow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1475" data-original-width="1877" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyUS_hqrUKW518vv-y_F8wwDPOww9FU0nFu8wIOHeDyjruAwN4qvm5EhxOY9P39UDwV-QzbMOlOMDDsxO7IfB1BXEzplUR7_OxwZLgu3DnSHH5jpXyQXF-QWaRRYngqtGhWSkBYgmUxywM/w400-h314/First+snow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> 10"x8" oil on board....click here to buy<br /><p></p><p>Had my first trip to the snow this winter and I will be going back

I saw these seagulls fishing along the shoreline on one of my morning walks a while ago. The swoop and follow the fish along. I am often amazed at the sights I see when I take my time to really look at my surroundings. </div>

I am still busy with my Estuary series but like to take a break now and again! This beach is not far from where I live and provided some good crashing waves for photos to paint from!</div>

Found this little wild rabbit sunbathing during one of my morning walks around the estuary looking for areas to paint. I managed to sneak up and get a photo before he ran away! Karen Johnston Daily Paintingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17853035587707203349noreply@blogger.com2
