Recent Gallery Sale


  Apple and Cinnamon Stick
6"x6" 
Acrylic on panel

Hi everyone! I just sold this apple painting out of Geren Gallery in Arizona! I played around with the background a bit more on these(the grapefruit painting is also in the gallery right now)...I like the idea of using patterns and colors...I've often incorporated that element into my larger paintings,  but enjoy doing it with these smaller still lifes.

I wanted to try painting figs again since it's fig season! At first I really struggled, but ended up enjoying all of the color changes and details in the figs...I got excited when they finally started coming to life!

Candyland



Candyland
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

I went to the store to get something to paint. Nothing was jumping out at me until I walked down the bakery aisle and saw these meringue cookies. I thought they were really pretty and built the rest of the still life around them. It was fun painting something colorful and sweet!

Chocolate and Cherries



Chocolate and Cherries
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

New painting...bought these beautiful red cherries and was going to paint them with something else, but they screamed chocolate, which I had never painted before...Chocolate melts quickly, especially under spot lights! It was tricky, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
