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!

Strawberries and Blue Bowl --SOLD

"Strawberries and Blue Bowl"

6"x 6" Oil on Gessobord

More strawberries before I move on to something other than fruit in my next painting. This colorful one will hang in the home of one of my dear collectors. Thanks Gail! 

Mandarines and Skittles - SOLD

"Cuties"

6"x 8" x1/8" Oil on Gessobord  

commission

This commission really took me back to my illustration days. The client conceptualized the "story" and suggested the layout/design. She wanted to capture memories of the skiing breaks with her grandkids as they enjoyed their favorite snacks. The hardware on the table is painted from the provided photo of an actual lodge table they frequent but the snow is artificial. A really cute idea for a still life and I hope she loves it!

Yes, I did eat the props and Skittles are NOT on my current diet!

Strawberries and Silver Cup - SOLD

"Strawberries and Silver Cup"

6"x 8"x 7/8"  Oil on linen mounted on cradled wooden panel

SOLD

Yesterday I finished the companion piece to a still life painting of plums. The collector wanted strawberries to pair with the 6"x 8" plums and I think she will love it! I've included a photo of both in my drying box so you can see how they appear together.
I'm wanting beach weather to return!! so I'm itching to paint a beach scene next. I have some reference photos taken in November when folks were still wearing swimsuits. Stay tuned....

Fresh Strawberries - SOLD

“Fresh Berries” 

6”x 6”x 1/8” Oil on Gessobord

SOLD

Strawberries are abundant this year from California and Florida. They are such a beautiful fruit to paint and I improve my technique each study I do. Those seeds and highlights are time consuming but therapeutic due to my love of detail. As the set up aged the aroma of strawberries filled my studio and these were as sweet as they look, yum!

Two Green Pears - SOLD

“Two Green Pears” 5”x 7”x 1/8” Oil on Gessobord

Sold

This is another recent commissioned painting to pair with another pear painting I did for the client in the past. It is always a challenge to match the style, color and composition of pieces not in my possession any longer but archived photos do help. I’m stoked about the hues in this one!
