1128 Freshly Squeezed

 The little lemon juicer was a gift from friends many years ago who visited Italy.  Having visited Italy and Sicily since then, I discovered that lemons are a very big deal there, and the lemon motif is everywhere.  I saw the same little bird on many different ceramics.  I think it looks cute with the flower arrangement.  The painting was started during the summer, and the flowers were from my rooftop garden.

1051 Summertime and the Living is Easy

 I got a lot of mileage out of these sunflowers and other props during my week long painting class last week.  Sunflowers are such a happy flower and brighten up any room.  I am growing them in my garden this year and they are growing to be enormous.  I was given the seeds by my friend Roberta and I had no idea what kind of sunflowers they would be, but now I see they are bigger than life!  Hopefully they will FIT in a painting.

1050 Summer, Straight Up with a Lemon Twist

 Did you miss me last week?  I had an action filled week at a zoom art class 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. every day.  It was wonderful, but very tiring.

This painting really spells summer to me--sunflowers, zinnia, cherries, and lemon(ade).  What more can you ask for?  I hope you like it.
