Heinz


(oil on panel, 6x6)

It is always so interesting for me to post paintings.  
This helps me to see my work in a more detached version.
So naturally, I see things that I may change in future paintings.
This is how the practice of "Daily Paintworks" helps me grow as an artist.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

Pedicure Too


(oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 25x18)
Not For Sale

This is the second in this series.  
There was a man to the right of me getting a pedicure. 
This is from the picture I took with my iPhone.
Pedicures feel great but are also a healthy way to care for your feet & circulation.
So, go out and get a pedicure!

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

Onions just fascinate me.  
I get on an onion roll & can't stop myself.
This seems to be yet another onion series.
Humm, onion roll.  It must be lunch time.

Thank you for viewing my paintings

I love painting ravens and crows.
These fellows seem to be in a polite discussion.
I don't think that is how they usually converse.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

Pre-Lemonade



(oil on gessoed board, 10x12)

This is the second still life of fruit in that glass bowl.
I am beginning to get the hang of the shape of the bowl.
And, I love the smell of the lemons in my studio.
These are Meyer Lemons from my friend Dicksie.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

Apple Quad

Reflected Fruit


(oil on gessoed board, 12x10)

I worked on this one for a couple of days.  
The vase is one my husband gave me years ago with flowers.  
I  bring it out every time I get a big bouquet.
I just love the lines of this vase.
