Two Apples and A Cherry

I worked this still life with a different approach. I started with an under painting with transparent earth red and ultramarine blue concentrating only on values. I then slowly worked into brighter colors and purposefully worked towards a fresh approach, not focusing on a photographic replica, but a painterly finish. 9 x 12" linen panel. This will be for sale through the Daily Paintworks auction starting at $45.

Egglip

This is one of those paintings that I took some time with. It was more difficult to draw that one might think. I loved the fabric and had to keep from painting it more realistically. In the end, I still had to glaze it in order to not have it compete with the eggs and the tulips, or as I call it; the "Egglip".
16 x 12" Oil on Linen panel. $150.

Canoeing in Koreshan

When our friends, Richard and Bonnie came to visit in January, we spent a luxurious day on the Koreshan River with a canoe and kayaks. The Florida landscape there is a unique jumbled mix of air plants and mangroves. It was a peaceful and beautiful feeling to canoe through that river. I hope I captured the mood I felt. 16 x 20" Oil on Stretched Canvas. $275
