Cotton Circle

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD  
 

Another in my cotton series, it's a while since I have painted any of these...I like the light across the cotton. I vary the subjects I paint, otherwise I seem to get too caught up in detail with still life... I have always painted landscapes, so to get out of my comfort zone I decided to give still  life a go  last year... enjoyable as it is...it's challenging!

I am going to Australia on holiday for two weeks...hope to get some good photos for painting!! I will post when I can.

$85 + $20 s/h

I often see Little Shags when I am walking around the Estuary in the mornings, they are usually perched on a rock or a post. There is something appealing to me about them, they sit quietly observing everything around them....this little guy looks like he is on guard  and didn't seem to mind me being nearby.

Heirloom Tomatoes

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

I am still on the food trail!  I bought these heirloom tomatoes at the Farmers Market and after searching for something to set them up with, I spied this brushed silver tin  in  my studio that has a lavender scented candle  inside....that was it!! I liked the grey tones with just a little color.

Brie with Grapes

6"x6" Oil on board

$100+s/h

I  hunted around to find the right plate for this set up and...I found this green one in the supermarket! It's plastic, I love the color and it was a challenge as I've never painted plastic before! These grapes are the last of this season and are so sweet with the brie cheese...it's a match made in heaven!

I have had a busy day and still have a class to teach, so not much time to say a lot about this one...other than I love the two colors of the olives together in the white bowl and I am making a salad with olives in it for dinner tonight, yum!
