REFLECTIONS,6X8, ORIGINAL OIL

Here we have a pear sitting on a glass table top with natural light shining in behind.  It gives off a triple reflection that is really quite beautiful.  I especially like the bright aqua reflection that glass sometimes gives.

Do you ever get bored with painting?  I never do.  That is the most wonderful thing about being an artist.  Some days I have trouble getting inspired, but as soon I find a subject and get started,
I get totally involved in the project.  Right now, I am rushing to get all my little projects done so I can get back in the studio and finish a portrait of my granddaughter.  I think I could be a hermit as long as I had plenty of oil paint.

It is sooo late and I am sooo tired, I don't have much to say about this painting.  I hope you enjoy it and I will try to do a better job next time.

Thanks to everyone who has been so kind as to leave me wonderful encouraging comments and best wishes on the new website.  I cannot tell you how important your comments are to me.  Of course, most of you are artists with your own blogs, so I guess you know exactly what I mean.

LILY, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

I don't paint a lot of flowers so I thought I would give one a try.  This is from a photo I took a couple of years ago in North Carolina.  I found this beautiful plant full of blooms in a neighbor's yard.  The plant had a least 10 blooms on it and stood waist high.

GOLDEN MARSH II, 5X7, OIL

Just a little marsh scene.  I find it very relaxing to turn out a few of these simple paintings occasionally.  After several hours spent on a more complex painting, this feels almost as good as a massage.
