I’m glad pears last a long time when sitting on the counter. I will keep painting this pair of pears until they are ready to eat.

Pear 1

One of my friends/clients/art patrons has been looking at pear paintings, which motivated me to finally paint one. I have not painted a pear since I was in collage oh so many years ago.

This one is painted very loosely in acrylic on Claybord. I like painting as messily as possible….so much fun!

Tomorrow’s pear is red. Stay tuned.

Hot Cocoa with Shiny Gift Bag

I’ve painted this one to meet the Daily Paintworks challenge. I’ve used my usual loose style in oil on Claybord.

It’s hard to get the really saturated colors present on the shiny purple giftbag…it reflects a lot of permanent rose but purple diazinon does not dry shiny…it dries flat, so perhaps later I’ll add a shiny varnish.

Yes, I drank the cocoa. Mmmmm.

Denise’s Strawberries

It is a joy to sit outside and paint with your girlfriends. Nobody judges and we enjoy catching up on family happenings.

Denise and her husband have quite a garden in the middle of town, along with chickens and dogs.

The strawberries are excellent to eat and brightly colored for painting.
