I know what you're thinking and you're right. There should definitely be a table to rest your drink on.

Silent Typewriter

RC Smith "Silent" typewriter... seems like an oxymoron. I don't remember typewriters being silent, and I think that was one of the best things about them. Something so nostalgic, especially for someone who enjoys writing (typing?) as much as I do.

This was a quick one that flowed from start to finish. Don't think I thought at all, and suddenly--it was done!?

Macy the English Sheepdog

It is so interesting to hear about artists and their preferences regarding phases of paintings. I am definitely someone who loves the beginning when things are just taking shape and then the end when it all comes together. The messy middle phase always freaks me out a little!

Macy was done as a Christmas commission gifted early. She was started with brush and I had a great soft look going, but in the end the need for thick and shiny won out. On live the palette knife! :)

Pomegranate

Pomegranates are definitely one of my favorite fruits and something I've been wanting to paint for a long time. I had just finished up a few Christmas commissions, and finally got up the courage to give it a try. Couldn't be happier with the way this came together--it looks good enough to eat! I was able to use the palette knife a bit in the finishing and think it gave some great depth to the painting.
