My hat is off to those wonderful flower painters out there. Flowers are tough! I love revealing form in my paintings but flowers are so complex in their form. 
Another funny bunny! Floppy Ears is 6" by 6" and is oil on masonite panel. Available from me for $65. Thanks for looking.
A friend asked for more on the stuffed toy theme, so here is The Slouch. He is just as cute in real life! Hope you enjoy him...actually its a cow, so hope you enjoy her. She is 6" by 6" on masonite panel. Available from me for $65.
Simple subject, right? It seemed so to me when I chose to paint my granddaughter's little red shoes. There are parts of this painting and my paint application that I like though. I will have a better day tomorrow!!!
Remember the green pear from last week? Well its now a gorgeous yellow as you can see.
This is my 50th post!!!
I am in love with the painterly feel of this piece! THIS is the way I like to apply paint.
This lovely Haws copper watering can almost defeated me! I was interested in the strong reflected lights from the orange and the softer reflected lights from the room. I was also in a bit of a rush this morning......hope I still like it later today.
So you may think I planned this monochrome colour theme, but it simply occurred to me after posting "Red!" yesterday. I will try to keep the theme for a few days but I am worried about green......hmmm I don't think I want to paint the broccoli thats in my fridge.
No tears while I was painting this one! I hope you can see the thick textural whites in the face of the onion.
Trust me this one looks much better in real life! 
OK so this was really hard! I had to keep the colours very limited and simplify, simplify the highlights in the glass. I think it reads like a glass with the lemon tucked in behind.
I found this petite size Coke bottle in our fridge after returning from holidays. It eventually found its way to the studio. For me there is always a struggle between maintaining accuracy of drawing and sustaining a painterly feel. I am pretty happy that this one has a balance of both. Now where's that rum.....
Painting this was a little crazy, a little fun. I kept asking myself 'why am I doing this'! But in the end I think the challenge was worth it. Good thing I am posting it otherwise I would be tempted to keep fiddling with those lovely squiggly lines.....
Today's painting involves a bit of hide and seek. I wanted to use the red apples on the red background to develop areas of mystery where the apples are lost into the background. Then I plunked the light green apple right in the middle for contrast.
Many thanks to all those who came out to see my show opening at Arts Underground! I appreciate your support. It will be hanging for the remainder of March.
