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!

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!

White Peonies & Satsuma

Went to Whole Foods this past week with my sister and mom. The flower bouquets were outstanding, especially the peonies, and thought they'd be perfect for painting. I also came across this delicious looking fruit with leaves. It looked like a clementine, but a bit larger (not to mention sweet, tender, and just as delicious to eat). It was another fruit considered to be a member of the mandarin family called a satsuma. Thought I'd paint them separately, but am so happy that I put them together.
