Tamarillos


6"x6" Oil on gessoboard
Last food painting for my 2016 Calendar!!These tamarillos had a lovely rich deep red color, they almost looked too good to eat! 
I have been painting new work this last week and it's nice to be painting other subjects again...a rose painting is nearly finished, a few flower paintings blocked in and a small landscape started...not bad for a weeks work!! Hope I can keep the pace going!

Citrus Cousins


6"x6" Oil on gessoboard

These were some of the last lemons and limes off my trees this season. I love the fresh colors of citrus fruit and of course green and violet are favorite colors of mine!! I sat these on my printer in front of the window and really liked the way the strong sunlight fell across them!

Red Onion and Baby Peppers

6"x6" Oil on gessoboard 

I use these vegetables a lot for salsas and salads! In my last post I said I would be multitasking...well I have been doing that!! Two more fruit paintings nearly finished, application and contract for Art Show done and another painting blocked in!! Next is to package and post artwork. All next week I will be painting...I love that thought!!!!

Love painting bell peppers...yellow is still a tricky color for me. Another food one finished for my 2017 Calendar!  Commission finished...I am on track and can't wait to start flowers as well as a 16x8in landscape. There will be a bit of multitasking going on here!!
