Fruit Cocktail



The compressed space in this painting is full of activity making this painting energetic and colorful. I worked all day long on a painting only to wipe it out and start again. This painting fell together fairly quickly after the labor intensive failure. There was a ground of red as the underpainting which adds a warm glow.

Great composition and luscious colors! I like how you've painted the corners to keep the eye moving toward the focal point.

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)
