A bit of of a change! I bought these booties just to paint. They were a  knitted sample for a new cotton yarn in a local craft shop. I loved all the bright colors, so bought them home hung them on the door handle in my studio with the thought of setting them up to paint. This is as far as they got...I loved the shadows!!

Chilli Peppers

8"x6" Oil on gessoboard

SOLD

I am still on the food theme...these chillies were so beautiful and fresh...had to paint them!  Again I liked the shadows!!

I used three colors and white for this... because I use neutral mat board for backgrounds I find this way I can usually mix the gray I want!

Day #2 in  Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!  So far so good,but it's early days! I am feeling enthusiastic and positive...just have to hope there are no wipers! This is another part of the Estuary...it's a special place for me as far as painting goes, there is so much color and everyday the light changes...there is always something to paint!! Love it!!

I have always been attracted to Lavender and have it growing in my garden. I love the fragrant purple flowers!  I  often walk past this house...this morning it was soft sunlight and  I liked the shadows created on the wall as well!

Morning Shadows

6"x6" Oil on board

SOLD

I thought I would enter this for Daily Paintworks Challenge this week, I love painting different subjects but my true love is the landscape... I am always drawn by  light and the shadows as I was with this. Most of the time I paint places close to home that I come across when I am out walking. It is important to me to paint what I feel...this is another from the Estuary.

This Pampas grass grows along the Estuary walkway...when the sky is overcast and stormy looking, the grass is a bright green as it was this day.There was enough light in the sky to cast a few shadows on the road as well. Love the sky when it's like this... every color seems brighter!
