BERRIES AND BANANA, 11X14, OIL, SOLD

This painting is a companion piece to  one that I did a month ago which featured blueberries, strawberries and kiwi slices. 

This is the original painting.  I had so much trouble getting two images in this post in the place I wanted it to be.  It was almost more time consuming than completing the paintings.  I love Blogger, but every time I think I know what I am doing, they seem to change something! 

I guess what they say about "old dogs" is true!

Purchase one or both of these here.

SOLD

MOUNTAIN YARD, 5X7, OIL

We have a vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina.  Our little house snuggles right up to the base of a mountain.  This is the view from the back of our house, just mountain, trees, and bushes.  It is pretty much straight up! 

I don't know what just happened, I had this all set up to post on Wednesday, but even though the post shows it is Wednesday, take my word, it is only Monday night.  I am much too tired to start all over again, so if you are reading this post, please go down to the previous two posts which are also new!  Sorry for the confusion.

RADISH HALF, 7X5, ,SOLD

Well, you didn't really think I was finished with the half fruits and veggies, did you?  I had to try a half radish for my little series.  There are soooo many more options available, and I am really enjoying them right now.

SWAN REFLECTION, 6X8, OIL, SOLD

I try to go for a walk several times a week and one of my favorite routes takes me pass a pond with a couple of swans.  They have been there for years and suddenly last month, they disappeared!  I really miss seeing them and have an active imagination.  I try to think they have gone on to a bigger and better pond, but I keep seeing images of bobcats.  So, this is a little tribute to my swan buddies, may you swim in peace.

My work has been showcased by Victoria at Paintslinging.  Victoria likes to showcase artists and craftsmen's products on her exciting blog.  I hope you will stop by for a visit, I am sure you will enjoy it.

PINEAPPLE HALF, 5X7, OIL

Here we have another in my series of fruit halves.  I kind of like this one, it looks rather jaunty to me.  Can a pineapple do that?  I don't know why I feel this way, but I think it has a little attitude!

BERRIES IN SUGAR BOWL, 5X7 OIL

This is the companion piece to the strawberries in creamer that I posted the day before yesterday.  This is also from a few years ago.

Several of my paint buddies have been involved in a cool project called "Transformations".  Cindy Michaud was the creator of this undertaking which paired 12 painters with 12 poets from around the state.  The opening was last weekend, and a wild success.  Another of my friends, Carmen Beecher has posted her painting and poem on her blog.  It is unique and well done and I hope you will visit her blog here.  I am sure you will enjoy it.

PARISIAN SKYLINE,6X8, OIL, SOLD

April is the perfect time to be in Paris.  Don't you wish you were there?  I do!  Everyone has seen the Eiffel Tower a million times, but when I saw it in person I was amazed at the scope of it.  It seems to always be on the horizon and is massive in size.  I was hoping to show that in this painting. I thought it would be fun to show a different view than we normally see of this very impressive structure.
