I bought a box of cherries a couple of weeks ago...the first lot this season, they are my favourite fruit, (especially with chocolate) but before I ate them all I chose these three to paint. With the ribbon on I think they look like Christmas!

Up Close and Personal

6"x6" Oil on board
SOLD

I'm not sure what was on this steers  mind... but I think he wanted his photo taken! He came up close when he saw me with my camera  and would 'not' move out of my way while I was trying to take photos, he just stood and posed...I loved the curly hair, so here he is!!

Christmas Apple

6"x6" Oil on board
I know it's not even December yet...but when I tied the ribbon on this it reminded me of the small red apple decorations I put on our Christmas tree every year!
This is for 'an apple a day'  art project  Michel Oosterhout  has started on his website to  see who he can reach and where the apples come from. The goal is 365, one for each day.

I couldn't resist painting this! Reminds me of  the days when my hair won't go right. I love that annoyed look in her eye.... and getting caught on camera wouldn't help!!

Wetland Grass

Click here to purchase
$85+$20s/h
This wetland grass grows in different parts of the estuary and these two clumps stand alone in a big area of water. Some days they look green/blue and other days they are more golden, depending on the time of day, or when the tide is out. 
This could be a forerunner for a larger painting in my Estuary series that I am working on...time will tell!
