My boots

These are my boots and my granddaughter has been wearing them every time she visit's lately. It won't be long and she will pass my height and shoe size. Some people think of me as short and having little feet yet it's always remarkable for members of my family to share this time together before they pass me by.

Another rose

Similar to autumn rose yet very different,  you can tell by the center petals they twirl around each other creating movement in the composition.

Rose IV

Sold
This painting was started and quickly became frustrating due to many interruptions which couldn't be avoided earlier in the week.  So......after leaving it alone for a couple days it is done, yeah.

Pear and pineapple

Sold
It is unusual for me to have a fresh pineapple, yet here it is, playing second fiddle to the pear but that couldn't be avoided.

Blue berries

Sold
This was an idea photographed earlier in the summer and it didn't seem right to let it go by without being painted.  Although painting from real life is so much better for learning to see my camera is used to make reference photo's at the same time.

What.....

Sold
This is the last painting for this litter of kittens.  Each of these last three paintings were executed differently from each other.  What joy it was painting fur and those cute faces making each painting as individual as the kitten.
