Not much to say about this one.
Hoping it speaks for itself. Soft low-
light and subtle colors give it a moody
feeling, but moody in a good way.
It's almost monochromatic with only a
small window of variance between the gray
and the lavender. That's what appeals to me most.

Loads of reflective light from the sunny
yellow lemons and the crystal dish. The
white cloth doesn't have a chance of
escaping the glow.

Most of my paintings are done "alla prima"
or all at once. These small ones especially are done
at one sitting, glazing and painting wet over wet
until I have a feeling of "Ahhhh, I'm finished".

Thought I would give this a re-list since I
finally put it up for auction. The close ups
make it more interesting also. This is such a
beautiful bowl that belongs to my mother.
The painting has a real feel of pottery.

Thought this was a great looking barn. Maybe it's too elegant for sheep. But perhaps with a double meaning to the open door it makes the idea work. The sheep is in a moment of hesitation as he decides whether to walk through
the open door or not. We are like sheep, always having a bit of hesitation before we
decide to leap from the known to the unknown.

Each object has different textures and surface qualities
making for some interesting painting techniques.
Not so sure I captured all the surfaces, but I gave it a
good try.

I've always loved animals, but especially sheep.
Black faced sheep are my favorite. Maybe it's
because we like sheep have gone astray and need
a lot of help getting back on the right path.
One of my favorite paintings is of Jesus rescuing a
sheep from the side of a cliff. Something to think
about in our world of ups and downs.
