"Fruit Salad"


6"x8"
Oil on Board
$100 plus $10 domestic s/h

Well, it's hard to think of titles for all these little paintings!! Anyway, I loved working with these colors and the challenge of lightening them up--how to not overuse white in the mix and deaden them, but yet get the value I want without making them a more intense hue???

"In A Cobalt Bowl"


6"x8"
Oil on Board
$100 includes domestic s/h

This idea was intriguing to me--the cobalt glass bowl, the red plums, the yellow/orangish cloth and the color of the shadows and reflections. Well! I'm not sure at the moment just WHAT to think! I've been experimenting some with using black gesso and I am curious to try this again on a white-gessoed panel that I can tone a different color. It seems that most of the paintings I've tried on the black gesso, I have a hard time getting the color as light as I'd like--but then, again, on one of the paintings, I really like what the black did. On to the next one!

What can I say--there's nothing like painting with beautiful reds on a winter day! The plums were gorgeous. . .
