A little fun in the kitchen last night…

“Pear Piece”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $500.00 USD

It was not nice outside today… So I decided it was time for a still life. I had been saving these pears for just such an occasion. The fabric and layout fell easily into place, an unusual happening…

“Half and Half”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

On rainy days I enjoy setting up still lifes to paint. Figs can be a challenge because of their dark color, but cut open they offer a different story. I really wanted to eat this, but had to wait until I had finished. It was good!…

“Butter Up”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $500.00 USD

Today was another rain out day among other things. So I thought a still life appropriate. Except that the still life I wanted to do in day light, had to wait for night lights. A friend visiting the island was rushed to hospital emergency room and I had pick her up when she was finally discharged at 2:30 am. She is ok, thanks for asking!…

“Chocolate Strawberries” , this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

My friend, Tiberia from Barking Rocks Winery, had a 5 foot by 5 foot by 2 foot crate of strawberries he had hand picked in his wine room! As I was leaving after helping syphon out some muscat wine, I thought maybe I should paint some strawberries before he crushes them all. By the time I finished this piece the chocolate had melted under the heat from my lights. It tasted great with the strawberries though!…

“Bright Pear”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $500.00 US

Bought these fruits today and the Tangerines were just so vivid I wanted to accentuate their vibrancy…

“Apples Wine & Swiss”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. $500.00 US

I bought a bunch of different cheese the other day. This swiss was fun to paint, and to think about eating after! The apples were a bit of a challenge with some spots of yellow going into the shadow areas. Of course I didn’t drink any wine yet, or you wouldn’t be looking at this painting!!!…

“Inner Sweetness”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

I’ve been juggling fruit around in my studio, figuratively, for a few days. This day the lemons caught my attention. I decided to do a low key approach. I think it work out well…

“d’Affinois Brie & Friends”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.

If I had known how good this brie was, I would have painted it faster and first! Or maybe sitting out for 8 hrs. under my hot painting lights ripened it more than usual and gave it extra flavor. Or maybe I was starving when I finished up!!!…

“In The Bowl”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel. This painting has SOLD.
