Lemons

6"x6" oil on board - click here to bid

 It's been a while since I have painted, life has been busy again!! 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.

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!

Lemons and Limes

Drawing#4
Pen and Watercolor Sketch

My drawing for today! I use lemons and limes a lot when I'm cooking...so always have a good supply on hand. I had these cut up on a plate but decided to draw them without it. I am giving myself 30-60 minutes to do a drawing each day, that way I can fit it around my daily painting and larger work!

New tool
I have just bought this handy MVP tool (Artists mirror, Value viewer and Planner) from Peggy Kroll Roberts. They are organized, easy to use and  are on a lanyard... you can hang them on your easel so you don't lose them!! Great idea....take a look here
