Copper Dish and Peppermints

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I had just enough time today to post this painting. Peppermints may be found in the stores all year 'round, but, to me they represent Christmas. The copper dish with the bakelite piece I found in a great antique store in Cheyenne Wyoming. Oh how I miss the antique markets in the west. The red dish I found in South Carolina in a thrift store. They are such a vibrant red and have great shapes.

Hi Linda, this painting is so charming and such an original idea! Of all the things one sees on a daily basis, who would believe that these bowls and sweets would look so good!

I am enjoying landscape painting so much. It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use. They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
