DELFT REFLECTIONS

Here I am with one of those classic blue and yellow pieces that looks beautiful in any setting....though I've tried to make this painting crisp and clean as only lemons against blue and do!

SILVER JUG


SOLD

I like how this painting worked out in that the roses at the top are there but yet not over powering, letting the silver jug be the focus of the setting!

SUNLIT

A vibrant sunlit scene of some of the pots and urns on my kitchen counter. I captured the late afternoon sun peeping through the studio window...and I just had to paint it before sunset!

CITRUS WEDGES

Did I say oranges are in season??? We went fruit shopping at Moss Landing on Sunday which is right on the outskirts of Salinas, the salad bowl of the USA....and where one can buy fruit in season for CHEAP...so hence more oranges!

ROSE VASE

SOLD

A warm, lively painting, depicting a warm setting of roses in a lovely glass vase, reflecting sunlight in the water.
I love how the impasto of the oil paint adds to the texture of the petals and make this work even more alive!

SILVER URN

SOLD
Nothing is more inspiring than the reflections on a beautiful SILVER URN! So I captured this picture as the sun came rushing through my studio window this morning...didn't linger long though, as winter is setting in! I love how the dappled light, soft petals and broken color all work together in this piece!
