"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.

"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.

"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!

"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!!

"Guarding the Egg" 8in x 8in oil

Guarding the Egg was difficult because the Fork did not know what danger to look for.   Was the salt and pepper going to season it too much?   Was the coffee going to get out of hand with too much caffeine?  Maybe it was a danger you could not see.

Two lumps please! 6" x 6" Oil

These sugar cubes remind me of a by gone era when sugar was measured in cubes for your sugar or coffee.   However, when I grew up no one sweetened their coffee everyone drank it black, which is the way I like it, but I love the idea of the cubes.

Ahh, Coffee! 6" x 6" Oil

Coffee in the morning is one of my pleasures.   But I have found that I don't want as much as I used to want.   These days I only make half a pot and that is fine as long as get two cups.  Sunday I make it a little extra special and put in almond creamer.   Yum!  I am allergic to the Casin protein in dairy which makes me stuffy and can give me headaches and sinus infections.   Maybe some of you have experienced this.  I cut out dairy back in 1978, and there were no good substitutes at that time.   I used to put grapefruit juice in my cereal.

Coffee, cream & sugar. 6" x 6". oil

This is another painting that I neglected to post.   I love the bold color and simple strong graphic feel. Maybe I should have called it "Coffee for One".

"10 letter word for glasses" 8" x 8" oil

Crossword puzzles, what can I say...  My parents always had one or two in process.   It was something to do and use as a distraction when they were in the doctors office or hospital, then nursing home.   I miss working the puzzles with them.

"The Teapot and her friends" 6" x 6" oil

This was a demo that I painted in my Monday painting class.   I forgot to post that night but dreamed all night of tweaking the paint strokes.  So I was hell bent the next morning to change the painting.   So here it is!   I think it is better.   Class, what do you think?

This time I painted the crossword without making an extensive grid!   And it did take less time and I like the looser look.

Working a crossword in ink 18" x 18" oil

 Some people are good enough to work crosswords in ink!  Never in a hundred years would I ever be able to do this because I need a big eraser.  Maybe I should show a puzzle with a huge eraser!   This is in my larger 18" square format, painted on wood with 1.5" painted wood sides so it does not need a frame.
