  Apple and Cinnamon Stick

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!

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!

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.

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.
