Cauliflower,peppers and broccoli

SOLD
After a long-ish hiatus, I'm back with these lovely summer vegetables. I've also discover the joys of juicing, so any fruits and vegetables you see in the future will give their lives to my art and then my GI system. It's been raining buckets here lately, so I've been driven indoors to paint and practice harp. If there is more time in between paintings, you can guess that I'm playing in the dirt outside, or actually working doing medical illustrations.

Golden Plums and Figs

SOLD
7" x 5" oil on panel  Unframed: $75 + $7 shipping
I love painting and eating figs. They need special winter attention, but they can be grown here in zone 6. I might have to try one tree. They also have lovely leaves that are worthy of painting.

Waterlily Pond

Oil on board 10" x 8" $275.00 unframed + $8 shipping
This is a lovely cool waterlily pond that brings back good memories for me. I can see why Monet was so enamored of his. I wish I had more sun on my pond to grow them.

NJ Beach

 SOLD
Oil on canvas 7" x 5"
Here's an appropriate summer scene. I'm using my small left-over pieces of canvas. Pieces that are smaller than 5"x7" get thrown away so I don't end up on TV and buried in tiny canvases.

Clementines

SOLD
7" X 5" oil on wood panel
I revised this one which was originally painted in April. I think it works a little better. Any suggestions?

Orange Tulips in a Silver Teapot

9" x 12" oil on wood panel
I did this one back in April. Tulips are so tricky to paint because they keep growing, even after they are cut, and they bend unpredictably. This all happens within a couple of hours of the initial set up, so speed is your friend. Still, I love to paint them because of their vivid colors and elegantly simple shapes. It's a shame their season is so short.

Stover Mill Barn

SOLD
8" x 10" oil on wood panel
Yet another red barn. Can you stand it? It was a gray day on Friday, and I think it was mizzling when I painted this. Next week, I'll stay inside and paint still life again. Any requests?
