Just a Few

I finally had a chance to get into the studio.  I got just a few pieces of fruit and set up this quick still life.  Thanks for looking.

Life is really intruding into my painting time.  This blog is being typed with one hand.  I fell and cracked a bone in my left hand which is luckily my non-dominant hand so I am able to paint.

Mixed Fruit #6

This went through lots of revisions until I was pleased with it.  Thanks for looking.

Apples with a Small Pitcher

We had a very good Christmas which was spent with my husband's extended family but I'm always glad to get back into the studio.

This painting started from four apples in a set up but quickly became an imaginary one which freed me up to play in the paints more.  That to me is where the fun (and sometimes the frustration) comes in.

This 8x10 acrylic is painted on canvas on hardboard panel and is varnished with a satin finish acrylic varnish.
