The Red and the Redder

Sofiya was delighted that she got three bids on her "Candy and Lemon" piece from yesterday. I was calling, "You have a bid!" I could hear her running down the stairs. She couldn't believe that someone would actually buy her painting. Thank you for the bids and comments!

December Leaf

SOLD

This is a quick sketch of an autumn leaf in December. This is a gessoboard 5"x5". It's amazing how small the board looks, but when you're painting, it takes about an hour! Even though the painting is small, there is nothing small about the work it takes.

Red Rose

This is the same rose as in the painting "Rose Bud". But in this painting, the rose is blooming right in front of my eyes! Hope you enjoy my Red Rose.

Sunny Strawberry

I know I stuck with strawberries lately, can't help it. I just feel comfortable painting them. A friend of mine gave me a photo of her husband and daughter to paint from, I'll post it when it's ready. Thank you all for the nice comments! I appreciate it.

I'm starting to paint nothing but flowers and fruit. I pick those flowers from my neighbor Susie's backyard - like I already said, but even she doesn't know the name of them! Do you? I am leaving this painting untitled until I find out what the name of the fower is.

Red Pear

My poor daughter was desperate to eat this beautiful pear but I couldn't let her have it, because it was such a perfect model for my next painting! And it will probably appear again on tomorrow's painting. I have the choice - be a good mother, or a good painter :)

Fruit Mix

Like there is a Trail Mix, I figured I could make a Fruit Mix. At first, there was supposed to be a knife on the painting but I think the fruit alone look very good.
Enjoy your tasty Fruit Mix! 

Two Red Strawberries

SOLD

I am sick today, so I could only make a quick sketch, 5"x7" canvas panel. Like writers say, " a line a day..."
Thanks for visiting!

 

Strawberries

I did a bigger painting - 12" x 12", on linen canvas. I made it bigger than the others, because on the small paintings, several of the objects couldn't fit into the canvas, and the milk jug was always left out. I planned for weeks to paint this milk jug, so I fitted it on this big painting. Another bigger jug which is partly on this painting will also wait for another turn to appear on one of  my next paintings. It has also starred in "Lemon Rhapsody". It took me almost 5 hours ( with little breaks) while my daughter was at school.

Blackberry & Strawberry Jam

SOLD

This was probably the longest painting I had ever done. I guess I got carried away, and didn't notice time flying by. I tried to make the jam as perfect as in real life - and I believe I succeeded. The strawberries were the last models, and one crawls off the canvas, and is continued on the side.
