Fruit and Veggie

I recently completed this series

as a commission.

A lovely couple bought the "Apple-ista" painting.

They asked if I would paint a few more paintings of fruit

to go with the apple.

Well, what does one say to that?

YES!

Day 6 - 30 Paintings in January - Blossom Play

A little colorful fun with oil paint

on a sub-zero day.

"Blossom Play" - oil on panel - 8 x 8

I have 3 plum trees in my garden but the birds always

eat them before we can pick them.

I don't mind because I really grow them for the perfume

from their delicate blossoms.

Giverny Progression

I'm playing catch-up for the next couple of days with my blog.

This one had been languishing in drafts for a while.

I took a photo of the bridge at Giverney last April.

The wisteria vines were NOT in bloom.

But I added them.

I love being an artist.

I started with the darks, then built up the lights

and paint layers.

Et Voila!
