#304 Dishes and Lemons

Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

It's been so long since I posted.  I've had a lot going on.  Plus the weather has been so gray and rainy, which is not motivating at all!  This was painted a few weeks ago.  I liked trying to capture the warm light.

Painted for this week's DPW Challenge, "The Cups Challenge".  I like the saturated colors of the cup and the orange.  I always like turquoise glass :)

#284 The Colorful Challenge

Click to buy!  (10x8 inch oil)

I've been wanting to paint cantaloupe for awhile and this challenge on Daily Paintworks seemed like a great opportunity!  I always enjoy painting cranberries and cherries.  I also enjoyed painting the pink glass bottle.  It was my first time to paint it.  The transparency of the pink was little challenging.  Wish it was looser and not completely sure about the composition.

#281 Autumn Mug

SOLD 8x8 inch oil 

Painting mugs is always a challenge for me.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out though.  I'm having so much fun painting warm, rich colors lately.  This one sold at Holiday on the Farm last Saturday.

#271 Mug, Glass and Red Pears

Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)

It was really hard painting on gessobord after a couple of weeks working on linen and canvas.  I forgot how slippery it can feel!  Found this mug at Target...another item in one of my favorite colors.

#225 The Blue One

Click to buy! (5x7 inches)

I painted this last week and I'm just now posting it here.  I purchased the mug at the dollar store when I was buying supplies for my daughter's birthday party.  I'm always drawn to things that are blue and green.  I struggled with the mug but in the end it turned out ok.

#223 Breakfast

Click to buy!  (8x10 inches)

Painting has been such a struggle ever since I returned from my trip to Texas.  I've had the desire but I haven't liked much that I've tried painting.  I painted this piece for this week's DPW challenge to paint breakfast foods.  I tried two other compositions and wiped both.  I'm still not sure what I think of this one.  I'm in a weird place with my painting these days.  When I first started painting, if the object I painted was recognizable it was a success!  Ha!  I also used mainly one technique...the one I found the most help with on line.  Now I'm experimenting with different techniques, trying to figure out what compositions I like, etc.  I think it will be good in the long run, but it is messy along the way!
