I finally have this one ready to go to a new home!! Getting her ready was much like me getting ready to go out and I need to try on several ensembles until I feel comfortable with the look. Three background colors were tried, grey, green and finally this blue shade. Fits perfect!! 

Pear and Blueberries - Sold

6"x 8" Oil on linen mounted on board

I love to spotlight my fruits and vegetables with a little drama and using a light from above gave these little beauties a special chance to shine in all their God given beauty!

Orange Sections in Cool Light - Sold

 "Orange Sections in Cool Light"

10"x10" Oil on a RayMar Linen Panel

sold

Sorry for the poor photo, this being one of many. The orange sections are a slightly cooler hue in the original but I could not get that subtlety in this image. One of the important elements of this composition is the shadow shapes on the wall and table.  The cool vs warm light on the objects is what this painting is all about and what I have strived to represent. I hope you enjoy viewing it and thank you for visiting my site.

Happy and blessed holidays and Merry Christmas if that applies to you!

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.
