Fallen plum, 6x6, 6/19/2009

SOLD

This branch fell off the tree across the street during a rain/wind storm yesterday. I love the fact that the leaves and fruit are the same color with the difference being that the plum has that frosty coating on it, and with the light coming through the leaves making them more orange/red.

There's one in every crowd, 6x6, 6/18/2009 SOLD

I've picked the cherries off my tree and will be making a pie soon. Sorry to see them go. I decided to line the cherries on the 1/3 line which gives more space below.

Unlikely couple, 6x6, 6/16/2009 $100

I wanted to do a coup of coffee again and see if I could be more successful.  I think this turned out better.  When I started this morning it was so dark, because of the storm, that the spotlight made a dramatic shadow.   Later after teaching, I had to recreate the same atmosphere in order to finish.   Here again the reds don't photograph well, but I like it better then the last one.

Thought I'd better use these last 3 apricots before they spoil.

Paper clip, 6x6, 6/8/2009 $100

I like the paper theme and I love the glow the paper gets and casts.   

The twins, 6x6, 6/7/2009 $100

Sold

I tasted the cherries and they are getting ripe but not there yet.   Figured I'd better paint them while I can.
