Aslan

This beautiful yellow lab was done as a Christmas commission. The photo it was painted from was almost sepia. I tried to keep the gray/fogginess to the painting, and really love the outcome.

Grapefruit on Glass

Two of my absolute favorite things!

Grapes on Glass Plate

The last glass painting was definitely looser than this one... However, after painting the grapes I felt the plate needed to be tidier or it would attract more of the attention. SO much fun experimenting with this glass; going to keep at it!

Glass Cup & Saucer

This antique pink glass was catching the light in the most beautiful way. The pattern is multi-faceted, like a prism. Love it!

Beets (3)

Last year I painted two smaller beets paintings from this same photo. It was always my intention to paint them this size and I am thrilled with it! Can't you imagine this hanging in the perfect kitchen?! For now it is wet off the easel and drying where I can see it! :)

Bird Plate

I'm in love with this plate and it had to be (if not the star) the supporting cast in this production. Really wanted to keep it loose, and I think I accomplished that. The sunny colors and freshness make me so happy!

Elves on Holiday

There is something about these little guys that makes me chuckle.

Cocktail, Anyone?

It started with the Moscow Mule and then I was inspired to try painting other drinks. Glass is one of my favorite things, and equally fun to paint. Using transparent colors, I tried to keep them loose.

Satsuma

It makes me so happy to go and find subjects for still-life paintings, and was even more thrilled to find the satsumas again. Can't ask for more than these juicy, delicate fruits--complete with leaves as if they've just been plucked from the tree. Like cooking, painting seasonally is so inspiring!

Clucking Around

Earlier in the fall I went with my son's class to a great farm. There were chickens and goats everywhere, and of course I brought my camera. I've included the photo used to paint this one which was actually quite blurry. I liked the red barn in the background originally, but then decided it would compete too much with the hens.

Dog Commissions

Both of these paintings were commissioned as Christmas gifts. I love having the opportunity to paint dogs. My hope is always that their little personalities shine through.
