Medium Boiled

When you cut open an egg and all you see is pure beauty... Probably the single best thing about being an artist or an appreciator of art, seeing extraordinary in the ordinary.

Fire & Ice

Had a lot of fun making a video to go along with this one. Find it at my Instagram page or on Facebook here.

Blood Oranges

Bought some blood oranges at the store; they are such a gorgeous dark red. I love when inspiration is so easy to find! This is the exact same set-up, from two different vantage points and with the light coming from different directions.

Raspberries

All things red (and juicy).

Cherry Red

Good enough to eat (or put in a cocktail)!

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!

Working for It

Definitely worth working hard for, in eating and in painting!

Yellow Tomatoes

The kids were home from school the other day and acted as my "production company". We made a fun time-lapse video of me painting this one. I'm going to try and do them more often!

A Little Sour

Was struggling to find some inspiration the other day, so went to my kitchen. The only thing calling to me was a small yellow lemon. I sliced it and started to play around with compositions. Am really happy with both of these!

Pineapple Mini

Another intricate fruit that was a fun challenge to simplify.

Little Cuties II and III

I love how these little cuties are just a little bit undone.
Some days I can really relate!

Still Summer...

In my mind summer is officially over once school begins. Maybe it's the teacher in me? However, when temperatures are in the 80s with 90+ percent humidity, it still feels like summer!

Wisconsin Peaches

This is the first time I have ever seen a peach tree in Wisconsin, and in my own town too. My son and I were on a bike ride and we had to get a closer look. We quickly got off our bikes in disbelief! The owner came out and I asked to take a few photos of her beautiful tree. She then offered us to pick some--what a generous person! A real peach! :) They were delicious too.

Mini Melon 3

This is the way my Grandpa Cronin always used to eat it.

Mini Melon 1 & 2

They were selling these seedless mini-melons for $1.00. Got it home and cut right into it. First I set it up in a bunch of different positions for still-life paintings. Then put it out for lunch for my two boys. Best dollar I have ever spent!

Pomegranate

I painted this very same pomegranate long ago on an 8x8" flat panel and loved it so much that it's hanging in my kitchen. Thought I'd try it in a larger scale and am thrilled with it!
