"Fresh Tomatoes" 8" x 16". oil

The first thing I noticed about these tomatoes at the grocery was how beautiful they were! The check out person noticed that they came to Kentucky all the way from British Columbia Canada. I painted this a couple of weeks ago and waited for it to be dry so I could put a re-touch varnish on it so the color would look vibrant.

"Analogous Figure Painting" 12" x 12" Oil

Last Friday I tried something new, well, new to me! Atelier Dojo Austin (Texas), has open studio available by Zoom, so anyone in the country can see the model and paint along with others painting or drawing the same image. I hadn't painted a figure in about 3 months also I wanted to see how it worked. You join up at their site and pay $5 to join one of the open studio sessions and they send you a link and at the time of the session you join the group.

The dress she wore was a middle grey with black polka dots and the background was bright Kelly green. I decided to make the dress a color that would represent the grey and choose colors that were close together on the color wheel, analogous colors. Teal, green, blue/violet, with the skin tone, boots and chair being brownish. I decided to tie everything together with the circle and not have the green bleed off which left her floating. All was painted in about 2.5 hours. I am an hour later than Austin and by 10:00 I was ready to stop, it was past my bedtime!

Atelier Dojo Austin has several open studios to choose from. Check it out!

"At Wits' End" 6" x 6" Oil

Missy Blue was at her wits' end with all her kids running around in the house, so she went to the grocery to buy some cherries and thought to herself.... this would make a nice hat! While riding home she felt so much calmer... and chic! Even though the stem stuck out of the sun roof.

Maybe it is me going a little bit crazy! And it is starting to feel normal, which is the scary part!

"Pink Daisies" 8" x 8" Oil

These daisies are so happy in the green blown glass vase. I just could not squeeze all these on a 6x6 inch canvas. I am going to offer it at a 6x6" price though!

"Rex and Curly" 6" x 6" Oil

Rex was tired of playing alone so he asked Curly if she would like to play blocks with him.

Acquired this dinosaur a few weeks ago and have been wanting to put him in a painting. So I combined my little robot with a doll head. Looks like a sweeter version of the neighbor's doll in Toy Story.

"Standing Alone" 6" x 6". Oil

The composition came together fairly easily but getting the colors right took some doing. I still need lots more brush milage to get back to my painterly self. I will keep trying! Tomorrow's another day for a fresh start!

"Visiting" 6" x 6" Oil

Pear One and Pear Three thought they would go and visit Pear Two who is in isolation because he is sick. They can wave, wink and holler, but no touching.

Little Red Dice. 6" x 6" Oil

When I look at this I feel that the dice is telling the ribbon a secret and the ribbon is absorbing it all!

Singled out. 6" x 6" oil

Decades ago when I was in school, my fear was to be singled out, to be called upon to answer a question or heaven forbid, give a oral book report. Most of the time I was not paying attention, but even if I thought I knew the answer I would say that I did not know. I never gave an oral book report, I knew I would get a bad grade but I preferred it that way. I would rather go unnoticed, to slip through the halls and classrooms and never be seen or called upon. Maybe that is why I am totally comfortable staying at home involving myself with chores and my many other creative outlets.

I hope all of you are getting the comfort, love and support you need during this crisis.

Blackberries 6" x 6" oil

With all this time available, I have been organizing my paperwork and studio. Already built shelves for my shed and organized there. There are other rooms to tackle. I am concerned that I will not get all my organizing done before the staying at home ban is lifted. This has been a great staycation so far.

Coffee, cream & sugar. 6" x 6". oil

This is another painting that I neglected to post. I love the bold color and simple strong graphic feel. Maybe I should have called it "Coffee for One".

"Threads" 6in x 6in oil

I bought a package of heavy top thread and the spools were so cute! It is the Black on in the back. I decided to put out an assortment of my threads along with my embroidery scissors. I kind if like it.

Thank you for being interested in my art.
