Onion with Personality

After riding on a golf cart to a farmers market (how fun is that!) I picked up a couple of beautiful onions with these gorgeous stems. When I put it on the table, the personality of it's droopy leaves just begged to be remembered with paint! 12 x 9"

Nestled Cabin

Sissy Blakslee and I tooled around her neighborhood in Fort Myers, Florida until we found this beautiful group of pines with a cabin nestled in the background. It reminded me of Vermont, but yet I felt warm and content while painting in 80 degrees (sorry Vermonters!) 9 x 12"

Still Life with David and Red Dahlia

This 16 x 20 " painting was accomplished with many attempts at painting in and around lots of chaos with company and a busy schedule.  I think it took three attempts over three months but I couldn't give it up!

"Sunflowers with Lindy"

These sunflowers were such an inspiration! And I thoroughly enjoyed painting them alongside my friend, Lindy. 11 x 14"

Vegetable Series

This is Dan's idea and one I like. I'll be adding to the "Vegetable Series" as time goes on. These little paintings are 6 x 4" but yet they take quite a bit of time! Ever taste kohlarbri? Delicious!

Pears and Browns

This was a study when teaching a fellow painter how to mass in. We worked with a complimentary palette of purples and yellows and fully absorbed ourselves in the warmth of these colors. 16 x 20"

"Flamingos"

This painting is 36 x 24". I really enjoyed designing and painting it. It came from a day with my grandchildren at Animal Kingdom at Disney. I plan on designing another to hang with it and have some concepts for square paintings with these birds. I didn't worry about how "realistic" it was, but wanted it to reflect the brightness I saw when I was inspired by them.
