Attentively together, these northern red cardinals

letting us enjoy their presence daily.

soft pastel on Wallis sanded paper

Available

A soft pastel for a change.

This painting was done as a demo for

my art group. It was called Sunday Sampler...

see the blog dated Oct 31st.

A quick still life was set up with items a

friend brought from her home. We added

a few cookies that were part of the

refreshment table. An instant still life!

Natural north light was used from one of the

windows of our studio space. I was pretty well

finished when the light was fading. A few

extra color notes were made later.

Painting the highly reflective surface

of silver offers a lot of challenges.

I try to paint what I see and still have

movement and gesture while trying to

keep things simple. The round belly of

the creamer seemed to create a swirling

movement as the white cloth was reflected.

The creamer is doing a dance as opposed to

the cups stillness.

I am very pleased with the shimmery

effect this painting has. Painted from

life, I tried to paint what I saw.

That's what I always try to do... but

this painting seemed to paint itself.

Loads of small pieces of light, and

reflections seem to shimmer.

I've chosen a different approach to

creating this still life painting.

All three dominant subjects feature

blues and whites. Yet all three are in

varied positions, with one being a painting

within the painting.

Hope you enjoy this interesting approach.

Capers, Crackers, & Cheese

Capers, Crackers, & Cheese

5" x 7" original oil

Premium Canvas Board

Sold

I invite you to enjoy the lighting!

The light passes through this

wonderfully green bottle and carries

the green color into the shadow.

The light is absorbed into the

textured surface of the crackers,

yet the light reflects off the silver

of the cheese knife and its handle.

Light glints off the bottle and bottle top,

and light also gives shadows of depth

to the holes in the cheese.

Lots to see and enjoy in this

yummy still life painting.

Standard size for easy, economical, framing!

Sold

These three older Red Cardinal fledglings

verify the proverb from the 16th century that

''birds of a feather 'flock' together''

although... back in the day,

it was actually often translated as 'flye' together...

These three are ready to take flight!

There is so much to enjoy in this

early morning farm scene,
the warm light of the rising sun,

the fence along the neighboring woods,a pair of aged grain silo's up the hill in

the distance, the corner of the vintage barn

with stone foundation, and some

friendly chickens foraging on the hill.

As an artist one must be observant of

the way light reacts with a subject. In

the brilliant light of the rising sun the

light is almost blinding. It spreads it's

halo of a warm glow over the land

and everything it touches.

Reflected light and color

is such a wonderful thing.

Little bits of shapes and shadows

in the right place and the

painting starts to take form.

Then comes the icing

on the cake, the highlights!

The silver porringer picks up the

reflected bits of color from

the pomegranate and the kiwi.

I've always loved vintage things.

These books have the very loved look.

Hopefully they contain a little bit of

wisdom to make a nice compliment to

the delicate beauty of the white orchid.

This exquisite silver teapot shares reflections

of the cup, saucer, dainty lace, and luscious

strawberries, in its silvery mirror finish.

Inviting light and movement plus juicy thick

highlights are attributes of this painting.

Antique Copper & Lavender

Antique Copper & Lavender

5" x 7" original oil painting

gallery wrap canvas

Sold

A wonderful friend of mine loaned

me some items to paint. This antique

copper coffee pot is just a delight.

It not only has an old glow of

copper, but it has a few dings and

dents, and it sits a little bit off

balance, making a more interesting

painting with lots of character.

I love how the shadow was bigger

than life also. The copper color was

bouncing all around.
