It has not been a great day for painting!!  A wiper...after spending precious time trying to get it to look good enough to post! Anyhow, I found this is one I did this one last year using my favorite white bowl, so today hasn't been a complete waste of time and tomorrow I will try again!!

Olives

I am almost finished with olive paintings for a while!! I think the setting up takes just about as long as the painting! These are for the Art in the Olives Festival at Telegraph Hill in November, I am going on holiday about a weeks  time so have to finish them before I go... whew!!!! Just blocked in a landscape of the olive grove then I'm done!! Should be a fun day with fantastic food!

My favorite dish again!  I love the shape and size of it...so useful for many things, especially my drawings....I'm sure it will feature in a lot more. I love green olives too!

Olives and Brie Cheese

Drawing #38

Pen and watercolor

Late posting this one...had a busy day and went out for dinner tonight...no olives and brie though! I finished a small painting today that I will post tomorrow,  also some of my very late newsletter done! I have painted olives and cheese in oil but this is the first time in watercolor...I prefer the oil but it was a good exercise!

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!

Kalamata Olives

6"x6" Oil on board  

SOLD

I love olives and these lovely big Kalamata ones are so tasty! I had to paint them them...I like the shape, color, shine  and the way they stand out against the white dish. I think I liked painting them as much as I like eating them!!
