My friend B gave me lots of her sunset ocean photos to work with. I liked this one for the subtle colors, and that nice glow everywhere.

Plums with Strawberry and Polka Dots - NA

Plums with Strawberry and Polka Dots
Oil on Linen Panel, 8" x 8"
Not available, revised on 5/3/2016

And just for fun, I thought I would also include the actual still life. Though by the time I shot this photo, I had turned my light off, so the highlights are missing.

Monet's Garden - SOLD

Monet's Garden
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 16" x 20"
SOLD

This one was a bit of a trick. It was done from a follow-along with Johannes, but with much revision, since he was working small in pastels, which is a much more layering medium than oils, and I am working large in oils. After some struggling, though, I'm happy with the results.

Plums on Sandstone Pedestal - SOLD

Plums on Sandstone Pedestal
Oil on Linen Panel, 8" x 8"
SOLD at $20 plus $10 shipping.

One of the things my friend B and I like to do when she comes thru town (to and from Florida, as a snowbird) is scour the aisles at Tuesday Morning, and see what bargains we can find. I found this sandstone (at  least I think it is) kleenex cover (maybe) on the clearance shelves. "Oh, B," says I "That would make a wonderful still life  prop, for sitting things on!" and so she bought it for me. What a bosom bud! And what a nice prop, don't you think?
