I have rejoined the online gallery of Daily PaintWorks, thinking that the more exposure I can get right now, the better. Of course, there is mighty competition in the gallery also, but we'll see how it goes. This one was originally done by request, but the collector decided to pass, which is perfectly fine.

There's something fun about groupings and multiples that I really like. When there are jumbled groups of things in paintings, I always stop to look. so.... it makes sense to paint some of my own.

For this one, I used up an old canvas which I had laying around, and didn't blend.

Don't you love browsing in the foreign (to you) sections of the grocery store? Fascinating the foods that are available from other cultures. I especially like poring over the "Spanish food" aisles, and found this lovely jar of honey right there. I did go and scout the "regular, normal" honey, and there was nothing as interesting or appealing as this jar, made in Texas, with a comb tucked inside.

I wasn't so much interested in the strawberries, as I was in the lovely shadows they were casting.
I wanted to do this one "directly" without all the fussing and blending I usually do with still life. It's definitely painterly, as they say of this kind of work.

Once again, two freebie bunches of flowers consolidated into one. Nice having a good source for fresh flowers, thank you Food Bank! Done with a big brush, very loose and sketchy.

Another visit to the Food Bank over the weekend. It's so nice that I can also get flowers there, pick a couple of packages, and then discard the dead flowers, make a new bouquet from the survivors. Along with my blue vase from our local hospital thrift shop.

Our pastor on Thanksgiving Eve was a local rabbi who announced at the service that he also ran a Food Bank out of his third garage. We were invited to follow him home and it was a bonanza of lovely food, a lot of it from Trader Joe's. I've gone back about four times since then, and have had some wonderful meals, fresh produce only slightly marred, and this time when I went I took three almost dead bunches of flowers, picked through them, and made this freebie bouquet. What's not to like?

There was a nice sale on tucked canvases today at Michaels, 5" x 7" tucked into 8" x 10", tucked into 12" x 16", and two more larger graduating sizes of canvases. All five for $14.95. Good deal, right? So here's the first one on the 5" x 7", just a quick pepper, since I still have them.

I found this bowl at one of the Goodwill type stores in the area, can't remember the name, Value City or somesuch. I thought I'd use it for lemons, but I used the lemons in my tea. Oh, well, there were apples at church on Sunday, so I grabbed a few. (We have a surplus food ministry at church.) Perfect for a small canvas.
