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.

This still life has rich, deep colors and lots of texture.  Thanks for looking.

Grapes in a Blue Bowl

I've been under the weather and Husband suggested that I take it easy but when you want to paint, you just want to paint.  But then he says I don't listen to him much.

Mixed Fruit 4

This morning, I'm standing in my studio, asking myself what should I paint?  What should I paint? So I grabbed what was handy and I have another painting of mixed fruit.  Thanks for looking.

Copper and Clementines

I found what I believe is a cake plate made out of "faux copper" at a local thrift store.  It is bent and a little worse for wear but still has a personality I couldn't pass up.

The painting will be varnished for additional enhancement and protection.

A Few Grapes and a Lemon

Finally, I am back in the studio and this is my first attempt following last week's workshop. It's so good to paint!

Lilies, Cherries, Grapes

This set up was in part of a larger piece that I did that I want to rework but I did like this part of the still life set-up so I repainted it in an attempt to work out some problems.  It helped me to understand how Ican overwork a piece and ruin it.
