"Lemons"   6 x 6  
Another little still life for my series.  I love setting these up so that the light shines through the slices of fruit, and then it makes such interesting shadows.  fun to work so small some of the time!

Oranges

" Oranges"    6" x 6"  Available

I love to set up oranges, limes, and lemons so that the light shines through slices of the fruit; creating such nice varieties of color.

"Red Onion"  6 "x 6"

I have  a commissioned project, where I did one large still life painting, and now will do 4 small ones like this one to go along side it.  I really enjoy painting these small still life's. Vegetables and fruits have such amazing shapes and colors!

The Summer Cafe     9" x 12"

I painted this little painting in summer in the 3rd Ward Cafe, on a beautiful warm summer day. I loved the colorful umbrellas with the large pots of flowers.    The seasons seem to change so quickly here.  I love them all, but no one is sitting outside to eat these days!!!
I actually just reworked this painting a bit, now that I put "fresh eyes" on it, and again, I'm happy with the outcome.

The Christmas Berries

"The Christmas Berries"   8" x 8"

I painted this little piece last year after Christmas.  I never felt it was quite done, so I put it aside and just recently got it out again.  I added warmer colors in the wall, and brightened the objects I painted in this still life; and now I'm satisfied with the painting, and feel it's done.

The Light Streaming Through

"The Light Streaming through"  7" x 5"

I feel so fortunate to have this beautiful little park by my house.  I go there often to walk, and cross country ski depending on the season.  This fall I really enjoyed painting out there, and did this painting later in the afternoon, when the sun was lower in the sky, and the light was creating interesting patterns and designs.

October

"October"   9" x 12"  Available

This painting was done when the trees were just beginning to change color, and the grasses already had their fall/winter colors.  The colors and the design of the branches is what drew me in to paint this scene.
