Copper Pot



Copper Pot
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel

First time I've ever painted a copper pot...challenging to say the least, but I learned a lot! I like things that sparkle...I painted this because I wanted to capture some of the sparkle and glow of the pot...I also like the way the shadow of the handle looked against the background...

Pears





Pears

New Pear study....I haven't painted pears in awhile, but I loved the colors and shapes...like the way the two look together...as if one is talking to the other...nuzzling the other's nose...

Cherries in a Teacup



Cherries in a Teacup
6"x6"
Acrylic on panel
This teacup was laying around the house and I thought it would be fun to paint... Makes me think of Alice in Wonderland...I like the idea of all of the cherries piled up in the teacup with one  standing proudly beside it who decided to jump ship...

Pink Chair



Pink Chair
6"x9"
Acrylic on panel

I was going through some stuff in my life when I painted this...Didn't realize the significance of painting  a pink chair in an empty room until much later...Thought about doing a series with the same  room as a background, but different objects and people in each scene...haven't carried it further yet...

Just finished this study...first time I've ever painted seashells...I picked these up on the beach one morning when I was taking a walk...the tide was really high(due to hurricane Sandy)...there were beautiful shells covering the beach....
