449 Red Pears

I don't know the names of these red pears, but they are delicious and so beautiful, especially in the blue and white bowl.


Door County Plein Air Painting Trip, Days 3 and 4

It rained on the third day of our trip, so we spent the day at the coolest place called Hands On Art, where you can experience a variety of art projects, such as welding, glass fusing, jewelry making, mosaic, spin painting, etc.  I spent the day in the glass fusing building, and made four gifts, which I am delighted with and hope to make more.

On the fourth day of our trip, we went to the Fish Creek Harbor, where it was windy and dreary.  None of the sailboats were sailing, so color was limited.  I am not a sailor nor am I familiar with boats, but this is what I came up with.

335 Make It a Double

...studying glass and the strange things that happen when you paint it.  I am very happy with this little painting, but unfortunately I cannot get the colors right in the photograph/monitor.  I've read it takes 10,000 hours to master a subject.  sigh.  I have a long way to go.

321 C and B Revisited

I have missed painting these last several days.   It has become such a habit for me that when I don't paint, I get a little edgy.  It really felt good today, though I feel a little rusty.  Need to regroup and refocus after the completion of Art in Bloom Marketplace and sadly saying goodbye to guests.  The Garden Club banner was a big hit and we sold a fair amount of leaf vessels.  I'm tired!

320 Front

The color of this mat looks grey, but is actually a mossy green and will be included with the sale of the painting.

319 Crate and Barrel

Did you know there is only one Crate and Barrel store that sells flowers?  It is in Lincoln Park/Chicago and they have beautiful flowers!  This was inspired by a gorgeous bouquet of peach colored tulips and yellow-green roses with lots of greens.
