Plum trío

Oil on canvas board
6x4"

It reached 70 degrees today...hard to believe it's February 6th! After finishing my painting I went for a walk and my daffodils are coming up. I love the rich dark purple of plums, but they are such a challenge to paint.

Powdered donuts

Playing with different shades of gray in this painting. I haven't had a powdered donut in years...can't wait to eat one or two, maybe three!

Blue jay feather with rocks

Oil on hardboard
7x5"

I have a lot of rocks in my studio that I've collected from hiking, rivers and lakes. It was a challenge to stack them without them tumbling down, thank goodness for mounting putty!

There is a great chocolate store my son and I like to visit. I bought several and I was able to paint before it was eaten!

It was so cold outside that I decided to hunker down and paint. I love craft beer and decided this would be a perfect subject to paint and enjoy afterwards!

This was so much fun to paint. I was trying some new brushes I got from Rosemary & Co. (they make great brushes!) and really like the texture I was able to achieve.

Homage to New Hampshire

Oil on hardboard

This is a painting of items I collected in New Hampshire this past summer. My sister in law gave me the turkey feather, flocks of wild turkeys are often seen wandering about. The tea cup came from a gift shop in Wolfeboro and the rocks from Lake Winnepeasake.

Blue bottle with Scarlet Ibis feather

I found the feather while visiting the aquarium in Baltimore. They have a Scarlet Ibis in the tropical room and when I saw the feather laying on the ground I knew I wanted to incorporate it into a painting.
