"Tea and Cookies". 6in x 6in Oil

As we go into the Holiday season the lure of sweets is so tempting and I usually give in. These are chocolate chip and shortbread. I am grateful for everyone in my life and for my health, friends and family. I hope everyone has a warm place to go on Thanksgiving.

"The Adopted one" 6in x 6in. oil

Thank goodness for adoption because it gives many a loving family. I was adopted and have had a wonderful life with loving parents and siblings. No one else in my family paints. I'm the weird one.

"Tomato Trace" 6in x 6in. oil

You all probably already know that the word "trace" can mean path or trail. There is a bourbon here in Ky called Buffalo Trace which was named from a path that the buffalo used when they were in Ky. These tomatoes are making their own path. They probably won't wear down a trail because they will be eaten soon.

"Hydrangeas in Bloom" 8in x 8in. oil

My hydrangeas bloomed big time this year after having some sort of bug or fungus for the last 2 years. At first I thought it was the hard freeze but last year I realized that it might come back if I whacked it all down and let it grow anew. And it seemed to work! Yea!

"Hanging Out" 6in x 6in oil

These two risk-taking cherries decided to leap out of the cup and hang on the edge. I think they are just showoffs. No one was hurt during the painting of these cherries.

"Hot off the vine" 6 in x 6 in oil on panel

Got the delicious tomatoes from my neighborhood farmers market. They were just picked. My yard is too shady to grow anything. I used a color close to cerulean blue because it is the opposite of orange.

"Cheers to Champagne Grapes". 6 in x 6 in. oil on panel

These tiny little grapes are so sweet! But alas, champagne is not made from these grapes. But I couldn't resist putting in a glass of champagne. And the red ribbon goes along with the festivities!

"Blue block" 6in x 6in oil on panel

This little blue block was so happy to be in the painting! He is now with all his other block friends and telling them of his adventure and how he got to hang out with his big headed new friends. He is famous in his hood.

"Sugar in your tea?" 6in x 6in oil on panel

Polished my sugar bowl the other day so I thought I had better use it before it tarnishes again. I like the way the shadows hold the composition together.

"Plumcots in a teacup" 6in x 6in oil on panel

I feel rusty every time I paint.... the solution is to paint more!! I have painted 3 this week and I pat my self on the back and say good for you. Then I go about my day and forget to post! I started with the plummets, thought they looked splendid in a yellow cup, but it needed more color. I think the cerulean blue sets everything off nicely.

"Two for Tea or Tea for Two?" 6in x 6in oil

Have you ever felt like you have too many things to do? I have been feeling like that lately. I just want to sit down and take a break.... maybe a tea break. I love these delicate china teacups that are rimmed in gold, they look so peaceful and calm.

Ok, that's enough of a break, back to work!

Thank you for viewing my art. Sold.

"Primary Present". 6in x 6in. Oil

I really need to paint more often and get back into painting daily so that I don't lose my skills! Thought I would try using primary colors to start. I used Quinacridone Red, Chinese Red, Thalo blue and Cadmium yellow light plus Titanium White.

"Minature Plums". 6in x 6in Oil

While at Trader Joe's I spotted these miniature plums and just couldn't resist using them in a painting before I ate them all. They are just about two times larger than cherries. And delicious!

"Black Coffee, Green Cup". 6in x 6in. oil

What I really like about this painting is that the focal point, the inside of the cup, is the sharpest area which makes the rest of the painting slightly out of focus. Just like when the object you are staring at is the end of the tunnel vision and every thing else is blurry. The difference is that with the painting you can stare at the blurry bits!!
