Lemon and Lime

6"x6"

Acrylic on panel

A client purchased Apple and Orange Cherries and then commissioned me to make three more paintings! The plum painting was based on another I had sold. I always have fun with the deep purples, reds, and reflective light. Two Peaches was a challenge because I had never painted them before, so I decided to paint donut peaches and regular peaches to give him a choice. I had never painted a whole lemon either. It's very difficult to make something yellow round, but I'm happy with the way it turned out!

This is the second perfume bottle I painted recently, but the third in a series of paintings that I think make simple statements about being female. Most of the time I am interested in the color combinations and so I thought the perfume bottle would look really pretty with the cherries.
One of my favorite areas of the painting is the shadows that the cherries are casting on the background.

Mushrooms are tricky to paint because they rot so fast! I've never painted king trumpet mushrooms before...Clint brought these back from a Korean market in New Jersey. He had a bunch of them packed up in a cooler, but when he came to pick me up in Jacksonville, with the rush of packing to go back to Jensen beach, we forgot the mushrooms! Luckily, because the king trumpets were packaged in sealed plastic bags and were unopened we were able to come back a week later and use them to make some paintings! The tops of the larger two were falling apart, so I had to tape some of the mushroom together(tried gluing it and that didn't work!). I had fun creating this painting...I like the way the King Trumpets are leaning into each other. I added a couple of process photos...thought the initial drawing came out well.

Another two and a half hour study...I did this before I painted the more finished piece I put up not long ago. I used a gold glazing medium to punch up the shades of orange.

Coconut and Lime Commisiion

Coconut and Lime Commission

8x10

Acrylic on panel

I recently finished this commission. The client bought a total of five paintings!
This is the third coconut and lime painting I've done...It's wonderful when I'm painting and I feel like things are going smoothly. I had a lot of fun painting this coconut. It's the first time I cracked one open on my own. I bought two...the first one was rotten, but this half had a lot of neat looking ridges.
