Three Oranges and a Banana

I'm liking the modernist approach I did with this simple still life.

Contained

This version is actually the second one; I may do more until I get it like I really want it but this is a step on the way.

Short and Stout

A favorite restaurant of ours serves tea in beautiful little pots like this one.

A Few Grapes and Flowers

A simple painting following an absence from the studio. 

This absence was caused by my husband suddenly being taken ill with an infected gall bladder, surgery and problems afterwards.  He's on the mend and I hope to be in the studio on a more consistent basis.

Also, I have been realizing the need to clear out year's of accumulated supplies, etc. that aren't being used so that the studio can be a more enjoyable space.  A great deal of progress is being made with more to be done but I feel I am in the home stretch.

As always, thanks for looking.

Pairs

This one flew off the end of my brush today-a great deal of fun in a short period of time.

An original 8 x 8 inch, expressive, colorist, still life painting done in a contemporary style with professional grade acrylic paint . As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest. 

Lemons on Pink

It's been a while since my last post; lately I have again been going through a slump-nothing I've done has pleased me.  This little one I did at the today finally had the element of fun and spontaneity that I want.  

An original, 7 x 5 inch, expressive, colorist, still life painting done in a contemporary style with professional grade acrylic paint . As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from a previous day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.   This particular painting was done on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Green Grapes and Plums

There wasn't much opportunity for me to paint this week.  I did do a larger painting of gladiolas but still need to photograph it.  Today, there wasn't much time to paint so I did a small 5 x 7 inch of some grapes and plums in a bowl.  It's a simple composition but I liked the color contrast.

This painting is on gallery wrap canvas and the sides have been painted black so it can be displayed without framing.  It is finished with a coat of acrylic satin finish varnish for additional enhancement and protection.

Thanks for looking.

Pomegranets and Lemons

A still life of colorful fruit on a red rimmed platter. 

As with all my paintings, a final coat of semi-gloss acrylic varnish is applied to give further enhancement and protection.

Let's Get Together #2

OK, here's a revision of the earlier painting this time with a cup and saucer versus a bowl.

Let's Get Together #1

Tomatoes Time Three

I did this painting a few weeks back but decided to hold off on posting it.  This past week I was in the studio some (not nearly enough) painting and now I have some more work to show.  Thanks for looking.

Only Three Slices

Finally made it back; please excuse my absence as I took some time off due to having quests, travel and care giving.  But I hope to be back in the studio this week doing what I am meant to do-paint.

Bromeliad

Bromeliads have such exotic blooms.

The Yellow Table

This painting was also in my recent show.  It comes either framed in a black plein air style frame for $150 or unframed for $100.00.  Please contact me and let me know your preference.  The painting also has been finished with an acrylic satin varnish for additional enhancement and protection.

Flowers in the Bright Sun

This is painted from a photo of flowers that I grew once upon a time in a previous garden.  The photo is over a dozen years old and I finally decided how to use it.  I had to change the table surface and outdoor background-that's the freedom of painting.

The painting was in a show that I had last month in a local coffee shop so I can sell it to you framed in a beautiful gold plein air frame for $150 of unframed for $100.  Just contact me via the BlogSpot or Daily Paintworks. It has a final finish of satin acrylic varnish.

Thanks for looking!
