This is one of my favorite paintings that I did last year. It speaks sunshine to me. Thre won't be any photography today because the skies are overcast and cloudy. Hope that this adds sparkle to your day!!!

Broccoli is one of the most beautiful of all vegetables to me resembling small trees. It can be used in a variety of dishes from salads to soup to main dishes. I have found a snack that I think is quite delicious. I found this recipe on Weight Watchers. Wash and trim fresh broccoli and cut into spears. Combine 6 Tbsp of fat free honey dijon salad dressing with 3 Tbsp reduced fat sour cream. A serving size is about 2 Tbsp. For those of you following the Weight Watchers point system it is 2 points per serving! 6X6 inches Oil Raymar canvas panel

Just wanted to let you all know that I am working on paintings and they are not ready to be shown. Hopefully I will post by this afternoon, if not, then tomorrow!

This painting no longer exists...a wipe out. But, I have learned from a number of you to be very careful what to wipe out. This painting had some interesting brushwork in it and while it really didn't work there were things to learn from it.

It took some work to get the right yellow that worked with the painting. I found that by adding a cool Cadmium Lemon to my Cadmium Light that I could achieve the correct color. This goblet is a slighly orange tinted thin glass. I love lemons but find yellow to be a difficult color. Does andyone else have that situation? I used Thalo blue and Burnt umber to bring the value down. Does anyone have any tips on how to get deeper values with yellow? 5X7 Oil Raymar Canvas Panel

I have had another wipe out, and this may not be much better, but I am posting it anyway. In some ways I like it because I think it has an oriental feeling to it. I just need to work harder on values shapes. 6X8 inches OIl Raymar Canvas Panel $75.00 plus shipping PURCHASE HERE

It took me some time to look at this painting and figure out where I wanted to take it. I have completed this painting and feel good about it. Yellow is such a difficult color for me to work with. There is something unusually hard in finding the values and having them look correct. After much deliberation I decided that I would vaguely imply the red bag because to define it would be too tight for the loose rendering of the grapefruit. I changed the background color to harmonize better with the grapefruit. 8X10 Oil Stretched Canvas
