More glass.  The light coming through the water and making designs on the left is my favorite part.

Green Apple Slices

I got back in the saddle while we were in D.C.  While everyone else was doing their thing I started chopping up fruit and slinging paint.

Bright Night

5" x 5" oil on gessoed masonite, unframed.  SOLD

 

I've had a big lapse in painting due to traveling.  It's spring break time for the grandkids and we're zipping back and forth across the country.  I've taken my gear with me but haven't found the time or mind set to produce anything.  THIS HAS GOT TO CHANGE.  I have lots of things trying to get out of my head and onto the canvas.

White on white

While we were in Dallas I did three paintings and tried to keep it very simple. White objects on white background, colors on white and everything placed on white fabric. Two of the paintings were very slightly damaged coming home. Ger had made me a rack to fit in a box and I stuffed paper at the edges thinking it would keep them from shifting. Didn't work. Some guy at Wet Canvas said he uses pizza boxes to transport. I might give that a try. I will attempt to repaint the little scratch marks left by the pegs in the rack.

Afternoon on Kimberly #2

6" x 6" oil on gessoed masonite, unframed $75.

This is a the second painting from a photograph that Ger took last fall. You can see the influence of Bruce Docker. I plan to do this same scene at least one more time. There is much to be learned about the levels of light and the perspective. SOLD

Blue Glass on White

Paint what you see, that's the mantra while painting objects that seem difficult to capture. Disengage the "should" part of your thinking and look.

This little piece of art glass has been sitting around here for weeks. I was planning to paint a trio of glass objects but decided to let this one solo.
