My poor neglected blog!

POMEGRANATES & PROSE

16 x 20 inches

Oils on Cradled Wood Panel

I'm hoping that my muse will come back to me after a  "too long" sabatical. I finished my studio but still haven't picked up a brush to do a full sized painting since I put everything in place. 

Drat those mental and creative blocks!  I've done lots of needlework (knitting, crocheting and sewing) but no paintings other than my little Oddiments.  

I'm hoping I can get back on track in 2015! Wish me luck, ok?

POMEGRANATE & OLD TIN

POMEGRANATE & OLD TIN
Oil on Board
11 x 14 inches

Just SOLD through
La Posada de Santa Fe...

This old tin is one of many items that have found a home in my studio. I love things with patina and I can't resist collecting them in my wanderings through antique and thrift stores. This one just caught my eye when I was hunting for the right thing to complement the color of the red in the pomegranate. I like the dullness of its surface against the more juicy texture of the fruit.
