Bowl of raspberries 2

Yesterday this painting was done however getting it photographed before sunset is part of the process and next thing the sun had set.  This morning before leaving on my trip to Nashville got it photographed.  Now here in Nashville all settled in and hope you like it.

Cantaloupe 1

Not sure where this melon came from, it lacked flavor, this didn't surprise me, this is not the time of year to buy melons in Michigan.  Although Pinckney is my home town, Howell is just North of me, they celebrate melons with an annual festival, we take them pretty serious around these parts.  Melon slices make a great painting bringing back memories of warm summer days.  This could really cheer someone up over the winter months.

Breakfast II

Sold

This painting is more focused on the raspberries the spoon set a diagonal creates movement.  My brush strokes are applied more loosely in this painting.  The shadows are very interesting and it seems every part of the painting draws your attention but for different reasons, which is a good thing that is happening.

Some raspberries

Sold

The last few days were spent working  on a composition for a commissioned piece. It felt great drawing and using watercolors for testing color ideas and having the whole idea evolve forgot about the crappy weather for awhile. Today was spent cleaning and now after painting this the colors have cheered me up, hope they do the same for you.

Orange appeal

Serving berries

Available Framed at the Lansing Art Gallery

This makes the fourth painting involving the berries maybe that is enough for now. I reserve the right to change my mind. We have not had much sunshine and red cheers me up.
