“Tomato on White”
Oil on Wood, 6” x 6”
I took a break from watching news of the virus to paint this innocent little tomato.

“Mexican Sun Shell”
“Mexican Sun Shell”
Oil on Canvas, 8”x6”
We were in Mexico a year ago, and the sun was so bright and beautiful. I took pictures of many shells that were in the collection of our Airbnb hosts. I didn’t want to go crazy and paint one of those spiny ones...oh the detail! But I think that might be my next one. Negative shapes galore!

"Mr. Shine"
"Mr. Shine"
Oil on Gessobord, 4" x 4"
I really wanted the beautiful back-lighting on this lemon to come through
in the painting and I think it did.

"Hakurei Turnip"
"Hakurei Turnip"
Oil on Canvas, 6" x 4"
The thing about belonging to a Community Supported Agriculture group is that you get all these strange veggies that you never heard of before. But our wonderful Field Goods in Westchester, New York gives us great recipes, so these turnips in a stir fry with onions and Garam Masala were great!

"Wine Cork"
"Wine Cork"
Oil on Canvas, 4" x 4"
It is a plain little thing. However,
"It doesn't matter what you paint, it's how you paint it."
I believe that quote is from consummate painter Colley Whisson.

"Bosc"
"Bosc"
Oil on Canvas, 6" x 4"
Oh still life, I have missed thee! I've really been focusing on landscape to increase my painting comfort level, which I have! Way back my one true painting love, landscape, was eclipsed by still life when I had small kids and I couldn't leave the house. Well, the kids are grown.
My oldest says still life is 'still boring,' but I still love it!

"Apple"
Oil on Canvas, 5" x 7"
This is a painting from 2 years ago that I really liked but didn't have the right pizazz.
So I painted over, and then the moment of truth: decide now because if the original
is better, I can wipe away the wet paint.
Enter my unsuspecting son Mike - always good for an opinion.
"I like this one better cuz it has more red."
Aha! The new paint stays. Of course, after a bit more tweaking.

"Zinnias"
9" x 12," Oil on Canvas
This 30 paintings is getting heady. But I finished this just in time to watch "Poldark" with my husband. I'm wiped!

"Love Those Barista's!"
"Love Those Barista's!"
6" x 8," Oil on Canvas
This is my experiment with texture and Diebenkorn ( Thiebaud?) colors.
Yes, I wish I was in California, although I have to say in the sixties, mid February, New York isn't bad. I went for a walk during my lunch hour.

"Art Supplies"

Well they say "paint what you know."
I've been buying art supplies since forever and
they look so gorgeous to me.

"Zinnias in a Brass Vase"
"Zinnias in a Brass Vase"
8" x 6," Oil on Wood
Every summer I have a plot in our community organic garden. My success is uneven but the 'cut and come again' zinnias are always a success. I think they're one of the most beautiful flowers in eastern U.S.!

"White Pitcher"
"White Pitcher"
6" x 6," Oil on Board
I've been on vacation for almost two weeks, and this is the first painting I've done since. It's always tricky doing that 'first one' and it was kind of tough, but then I got into adjusting the curves and edges.
Exciting day at the library tomorrow - Adriana Trigiani, yes that Adriana Trigiani, is coming to speak at a fundraiser.
Update: she was great!
