What's on my easel...

Here is the start on my newest painting...

This is only the top half of it. The bottom is barely sketched in. I'm happy so far.

I need to think of a name for this one. This monument of oranges is in a green pedestal bowl. Maybe that's what I should call it... "Monument of Oranges"

It's a 16 x 20 vertical and the oranges are fairly large.

I love these red pears... so rich looking!

"Half A Pear"

After finishing the other pair of pears, I cut the prop in half. Ate one and painted the other.

Tasted really good by the way.

All three of these paintings are in the "Wassailwest Gift Gallery" show at 764 West Gallery in New Braunfels.

Come see us for the reception on Thursday night, Dec 3 from 5 - 9 pm.

I'll be there.

"Garlic & Oil"

"Garlic & Oil"

7" x 12"

Oil on Wood Panel

$275 (plus shipping & tax if applicable)

A small pewter pitcher caught my eye on my shelf of props. The garlic seemed like a good indicator of the tiny size of the pitcher. I love the mellow shine and the weight of pewter and it was fun to paint.

"Little Orange"

4" x 4" oil painting on wood panel

Daily painting for November 20, 2009

A cute little orange that I bought as a snack. I'm glad I took photos before I ate it! This is the second painting that I've done...first in watercolor (SOLD) and this time in oils.

You can bid on it...
