Asparaguus with Lemon - NA

Asparagus with Lemon
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 6" x 12"
Not Available


I don't think that I've ever painted asparagus before, but what a lovely subject. Harder than I thought, even though I treated them as loosely as I could. Worth doing again, but right now I'm cooking these babies up and making some Hollandaise. Yum!

Aren't these pretty? I DO love painting pears, and now that they've shown their blush, I get to eat them. Wait, wait...okay, maybe one more painting from them before.

Evolution in Paint - SOLD

Evolution in Paint
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $40 plus $10 shipping.



This one I'm calling "Evolution" because it's had so many iterations. It started life as "Heading Into Town" last year in May, then became Shady Lane, then Dappled Road, but now finally I'm done, and happy. It's got caboodles of layers on it, but I don't mind it. If you would mind all the texture, steer clear, it's very textured.

And here are some of my drawings from last night at our Life Drawing class. We were all chilly, but poor Sara had to keep her socks on, huddle by a space heater and drape herself with her robe for a little warmth.


 Longer poses, obviously.

Tomato, Onion and Shallot

Tomato, Onion and Shallot
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 8" x 8"
Available at $25 plus $10 shipping.



This one feels like it should be about Italian cooking. Maybe some marinara sauce or something. But these guys really seem comfortable together. Don't they?
