STRAWBERRIES SOLD


I am very fond of these glass dishes with bands of color around them. They are from the 1950's I think. The strawberries were in my refrigerator and I just thought that they'd pair nicely with the glassware.

Linda - I think I have this dessert dish! These are great strawberries - I find reds so hard! And nice work on the glass, too!

Such a nice light infuses this one, and I agree the reds are amazing!

Love the lush reds against the white, and your dreamy, silky painting sytle. Looks like you use a lot of medium to get it flowing - very nice. And the 1950 dessert glass is a nice touch too. Congrats!

Hi Kelley...thank you... I have the plate that goes with this dessert cup and I just love them. I think they may have come out around the time of the Fiesta ware. Anyway, they remind me of Fiesta ware.

Hi Debbie...I don't really use that much medium. A teeny tiny bit of the 3 part medium of damar, linseed oil, and thinner. Mostly I just use a teeny tiny bit of thinner. Thank you so much for stopping by to comment!

This is nice how you handled the reds. I like the composition spilling off the edges too. You do such a nice job on these itty-bitty (to me) 6x6" size.

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)
