A new painting! Vitamin C


Vitamin C
5" x 7" 
Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Gessobord
~Sold~

Vitamin C was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on Ampersand Gessobord. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish. This painting can be slipped into a frame or placed on a small easel.

It is so nice to be back painting.  Feeling better everyday and almost back to my old self.  Still have trouble at times finding words.  But, I knew a lot of words and it is just taking time for my brain to reload all of them~

There will be a new painting tomorrow and the next day and the next day~ 

Thanks for stopping by~

Strawberries and Grapes


Strawberries and Grapes
5" x 7"
Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Gessobord
~sold~


I can remember the girls coming in the kitchen, seeing a bowl of fruit and saying "Can we eat this or are you going to paint it"....the memories.... I starting bringing the food home from the Farmer's market and taking quick reference photos before the kids came in and the fruit disappeared.  I have had this reference photo around for a while and finally got brave enough to give it a try....grapes are not easy!
Well, I am very happy with way it turned out and slowing conquering my fear of grapes...HA!

Avocado ~ Claybord or Gallery Wrapped Canvas?


Avocado II
6" x  6"
Acrylic Paint on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~

I am playing with supports. I am really fond of the smooth surface of the gessobord and claybord. Many of my customers prefer the gallery wrapped canvas to allow for hanging without a frame. I have done this painting on bord, now this is on canvas. See Avocado~ 

This painting has sold.

This version of the avocado was painted on Ampersand Claybord~

I am going to continue to play with different supports, I think I might try the mounted bords and see if I can have the best of both worlds!

Now, I have to go make Banana muffins~
