VINEGAR AND HONEY


There is an old saying "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" that my mother in law used to say. While looking through my pantry I thought about this saying as my gaze fell upon the new bottle of fresh field honey brought by my husband from a local bee farmer. I loved the color and thought that it paired nicely with the bottle of apple cider vinegar.

I love this Linda--the way you did the label and the humor of it. We have a hive and those bees have been VERY busy. Great painting.

Gorgeous work! You've created the viscous texture of honey and the thin transparency of the vinegar perfectly. Great light!

Thank you Stephanie and Carol...the label was really fun to do. I wanted to keep it subdued.

Thank you Gwen...as I said previously the honey was a really difficult and it took finding just the right values and color. I was looking for the light that would show the transparency of the vinegar.

Very nice job! I love both the colors and the brush strokes on this painting. We must use the same brand of vinegar.

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)
