LEMON REFLECTIONS

Please click here to bid

I spent the afternoon thrifting about, looking for interesting vases and such, and found this beautiful, classic copper bowl which screamed my name from underneath some odds and ends!
I love this more edgy composition that displays this bowl at its best!



FEATURED ON SAATCHI ONLINE!

MIDDAGSON by Cecilia Rosslee


SOLD

I guess what attracted me to this composition was the lazy sun that beckons one to pause for a moment and enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of the scene. Also the play between the warm terracotta pot and purple shadows...

VASE VIOLET

SOLD


I am so besotted with this little purple vase that I bought from the thrift a year or two ago. And as I have mentioned in a previous post, I would eat purple if I could! Just something about the reflections of the light through this vase that brings this entire painting together.

JUST PICKED LEMONS


SOLD

I had just picked these lemons and was looking for a place to put it...and low and behold, there were the roses of the other day still in the purple vase, in the sun, on the sill! And since I had just unpacked a box kitchen stuff, I came across this beautiful purple glass bowl I had bought at the thrift some time ago!
I love the purples and yellows, the warmth and coolness, the play of light but mostly the JUST PICKED LEMONS!

MACKIE'S MEMORIES

SOLD
I have just arrived back from a trip to South Africa, where a dear friend commissioned me to do a painting of all the special things she had gotten from the 4 men in her life, her husband and 3 sons!
This is a beautiful setting on her fabulous French style dining table complete with fresh lemons from her garden, which I must add, has a view of my beloved Table Mountain!
