Strawberries and Candlewick Bowl - Sold

"Strawberries on Candlewick Bowl"

6"x 8" Oil on Gessobord

Mom's Candlewick pieces are treasures and the addition of luscious red ripe berries made for a special painting. The shadows from the rim of glass balls definitely steal the show!!

Wild Pears and Pottery- Sold

"For the Picking"

9"x 12" Oil on Gessobord

sold

I find myself looking for fruit trees and certain flowers everywhere I go. Once I find a fruit tree such as a peach, apple or pear I remember where it is and go to borrow leaves or maybe fruit sometimes.  Often I'll use store bought fruit with the leaves of a certain tree for that freshly harvested illusion. On this occasion I hit the jackpot as this pear tree was in front of an abandoned house and the fruit was there for the picking. 

Strawberries with Silver Creamer- SOLD

“Strawberries with Silver Creamer”

5”x 7”x 1/8” Oil on Gessobord

Sold

I’ll have a hard time releasing this one. I collect various silver pieces found at antique stores and garage sales and this creamer has such a pleasing shape. The red berries against the cool silver was the perfect pairing.
