Pink Ladies / 6″ x 6″ / oil on linen / See Available Still Life Paintings
I love the color of these apples, and the way the tangelo reflects off of them.
Yesterday I delivered the print for the 150 FB fan giveaway (the first time a local person has been randomly selected). That was fun! And today I’ll do the drawing for the 200 FB fan giveaway! I’ll be doing another giveaway when I get to 500 FB fans, so let your friends know!

“Unlikely Kiss”
6 in x 8 in, oil on wood
The flying frog swooped down to kiss the swan gourd. This is the same gourd from last week, of course, but she’s getting more whimsical.
Comments appreciated.
“Balancing Act”
8 in x 6 in, oil on wood
Here she is again, in primary colors. That’s a little red apple on her head (from the box of apples our friend Ananda gave us from her orchard). The gourd is actually sitting on top of a duck-shaped cookie cutter, sitting on it’s side, to keep the gourd more or less upright. I played with the background a bit, so that it has a watery effect but you can see a window behind the apple. Hm!
This is the same gourd from yesterday, of course, but she’s getting more impressionistic today as I am getting more familiar with her.
Comments are welcomed.
“Yellow Swan Gourd II”
8 in x 6 in
I really like this little gourd. I painted it here on a blue cloth, so that it would stand out more. Looks a little like she’s floating. This has similar blues to Walk With Dad painting.
“Yellow Swan Gourd”
7″ x 5″
Available in my Etsy store.
I was feeling silly and painted this yellow and green swan shaped gourd on top of a bright orange polka-dot cloth. You’ll be seeing more of this gourd. Maybe next time she’ll be trying to fly.
On a personal note, yesterday I went back to the opthamologist for a followup, and politely asked for a new doctor that would listen better. The new doctor was great, he listened and looked a lot harder and found that I have pars planitis of the middle eye; “snowballs” of debris blocking my vision – something that’s permanent and basically untreatable. I will have ‘flare ups’ but will hopefully also have periods where it’s fine too.
I’m actually pretty relieved that it’s just an eye issue – the little bouts of feeling blind while I could see were making me think something much worse was wrong. The doctor called that “after image.”
My vision right now is like looking at a really dirty mirror. So my little flashes of blindness make sense, and I suppose all the glare is because the light is reflecting off the snowballs…
Oh well.
I love painting apples. These ones were fun apples because they’re mottled – red with a little peach and lime green. This came out very buttery looking. Oil paint on raw wood, approx 6x6in.
Not as happy with these oranges than the ones before…
