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.

Tomato portrait

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.

No kidding

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

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.

Radish with watermelon

It has been over 90 degrees all week this is when fresh fruits and vegetables help beat the heat. In case someone noticed took for ever to get my auction set up today, internet connection was non-existent had to drive into town to get access and set up dailypaintworks auction, this technology is great when it works.

Radishes

A bunch of radishes make for another refreshing snack.

Schaefer road 2

BUY NOW WITH PAYPAL

Schaefer road is our route out to a main road we are five miles from that direction and two miles from the south.  We can travel endlessly on back roads in two other directions living smack dab in the middle, between Michigan State and the University of Michigan.

Garden Butterfly

Sold

The inspiration for this painting came from the Daily Paintwork's insect challenge.  Venturing into my yard on the look out for some insects and discovering many in the vicinity of a large lavender patch.  Blue and browns together has always held an attraction to me.

Kitty combo

Sold

She is the only girl in a litter of five, one brother is gray, one is black and two have stripes, her colors come from everybody, being the only girl she received all the soft fuzziest fur.

Dreamy

This is not one of my usual daily paintings, today it was completed.  This is a representational design of some lily's in a more whimsical setting. This is an original oil painting with a variety of textures that did not come from brush strokes, hope you enjoy it.

Schaefer road field

The land near my home is mostly used for farming. The quiet beautiful fields always attract my attention.  This is one of my favorite subjects to paint.

Kitty 3

Sold

These kittens are so funny yesterday all five were climbing a flowering crab tree and trying to outdo each other.  Mom sat and watched them run up, cling to the bark, hang, dangle, fall or jump down, usually two or three at time as they took turns.  They play together then they get all pooped out and take a nap together.  I feel bad breaking up the family but it's time to find some homes for them.

Flowers on the table

Sold

This table is a cutting block in my kitchen near a door wall that leads to the patio. The light coming from outside really caught my attention as the flowers were being arranged into a vase. 

Remember the tulips

These tulips bloom next to a tree in my yard. This is a raised field stone flower bed filled with soil otherwise they wouldn't grow because of the roots.

Harmony

BUY NOW WITH PAYPAL

These soft white petals are so beautiful and pure and enjoyable to paint.

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.

Stripes everywhere

Sold

Just another kitten from the litter of five. The eye's are so colorful right now. Wonder if they will change as they do with children as they grow.

Aw kitty

Sold

We have 5 kittens that are 4 weeks old. They are starting to get rowdy and keep us entertained. This is my husbands favorite so he might be a keeper.
