"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.

"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.

"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!!

"Mostly Out & About" 6" x 6" Oil

Things are opening up a bit and the cherries are out and about looking for places to eat and play, but a few of them are staying put and not risking it, waiting to see what happens.

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.

Singled out. 6" x 6" oil

Decades ago when I was in school, my fear was to be singled out, to be called upon to answer a question or heaven forbid, give a oral book report. Most of the time I was not paying attention, but even if I thought I knew the answer I would say that I did not know.   I never gave an oral book report, I knew I would get a bad grade but I preferred it that way.  I would rather go unnoticed, to slip through the halls and classrooms and never be seen or called upon.   Maybe that is why I am totally comfortable staying at home involving myself with chores and my many other creative outlets.

I hope all of you are getting the comfort, love and support you need during this crisis.

Red Tea 6in x 6in oil

I could have named this a study in white.  The teapot was a cool white, while the cup is a warm white and the background and shadows vary depending on the reflections around them.  I couldn't resist making it symmetrical.

Isolation. 6in x 6in. oil

It has been too long since I painted a daily painting.  Since I have been staying home I thought I might as well be productive.  When it warms up a bit I think I might clean out my shed!   Heaven forbid!

"Scattered Cherries" 6in x 6in. oil


Finally, a painting!   I have been overwhelmed of late, by life in general, so I am trying to get back into the rhythm and swing of painting.   It was a struggle but here is one small painting.   I hope many will follow.

Coffee with Friends 6in x 6in oil on panel

It has been so long since I have posted and I think I have forgotten how!   However I have been painting on a body of work that is going to be in a gallery.   Plus some commissions.   Today, the model, we were expecting, got the flu and had to cancel which opened up my Friday and I could paint this little daily!   Yea!

"Roses and Ribbon 3" 8" x 8" oil

I feel that the roses came out pretty well in this painting.    They are in a silver mint julep cup and almost everyone here in Louisville Ky has one of these.   Mine came from my Dad and his initials are engraved on the cup.    I added a woven copper ribbon in the composition... it needed somehting...

"Solving the Puzzle" 6" x 6" oil

This crossword is from the Monday paper which I think is the easiest one to work and I can hardly get through it!  My parents were really good at this but evidently it is not in my DNA.   I can paint a good picture of it... does that count?   But I'm really good at Sudoku and Jigsaws puzzles!
