Cucumber & tomato trio

The cucumber slice is the intended center of interest however the tomatoes seem to work too.

Oregon red

Sold

This a Daily Paintwork's  "The Old Truck Challenge" from August 4th.  The red and old caught my attention and interest for this subject, be sure to check out all the other artist's paintings of the truck under the challenge..

Red on top

Sold

Most were black cherries the red stood out from the others.

One half

Sold

This was the other half that wasn't sliced up and as it laid there the juices started flowing that was exciting.

Sliced cantaloupe

Sold

Jane it was your comment about liking cantaloupe that inspired me, thanks this was really fun.

I have always wished that painting would feel as comfortable to me as drawing with pencils, my preferred medium for 25 years.  As I near the completion of 100 daily paintings starting with this painting it felt like I was drawing with paint.

Cucumber 3

Sold

It's a mini series very well rounded and stuffed into this square.

What can I say sometimes you just do things, it made me happy and it had a chain reaction bringing back a memory of my granddaughter helping me at the car wash, when I gave her the power wand not thinking about how hard it is to hold and point, three times it went out of control on her and it blasted me, I ended up completely soaked and doubled over laughing, the look on her face each time she shot me was priceless.

That is a real tomato that grew a red nose, only the eyes were added by me, what a cutie.  Running off to a plein air paint out today this painting was very wet when photographed thus the glare in a few spots, will redo  asap.

More watermelon

Sold

The angles of the sliced watermelon and the rectangle bowed plate make up some interesting shapes and shadows, very entertaining.

Radishes again

Sold

These vegetables are so much fun to paint so for now there will be more of them, and today a very funny tomato found it's way into my life and it will be fun sharing.

Cucumber 2

Sold

Tomatoes compliment cucumbers in more ways than one and the lettuce in the corner fit right in.

Cucumber 1

Sold

In the kitchen to make a salad but wait, into the studio first.  Everything looked so fresh and colorful and those peppers with yellow, orange and red all in one package they really speak out.

Radishes

Sold

A bunch of radishes make for another refreshing snack.

Watermelon

Sold

Chilled watermelon on a hot day what a treat.

Big leaf

Sold

Previously these strawberries were painted from a still life and while that was set up some additional photographs were taken.  These strawberries are tiny compared to some recent one's that we ate, you just can't use everything for art although I try.

Polka dot tumbler

Sold

Just happen to look at the DPW challenge and in my camper there was a tumbler that qualified as a subject. These little circles really are fun when ever they are noticed.

Gray & grey

Sometimes the title fits perfectly.

Rough day

Using quick brush strokes gave him a rougher appearance, however this draws more attention to his eye's.
