Elegant Pear ~ New Pear Painting ~

Elegant Pear

6" x 6"

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
~Sold~

I named this Elegant Pear because of the deep rich tones of gold with dark green gray background, muted but rich~

Elegant Pear was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped museum quality canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

Up Next~

I am almost finished with a larger cupcake painting. This one features two cupcakes with pink frosting. This should be finished in the next day or two~

I have started a large painting for Miranda. It is a Lily Pond painting, but it will be done in shades of brown, blue, and turquoise. Yes, this is a stretch, I am working with my imagination ~ and I don't have much of an imagination. I will post pictures ~

The leaves are starting to change color and the weather is turning cooler.....may be it is time for a few fall landscapes.

Thanks for stopping by~

I know I am kind of rushing the fall thing when it is still 90-degrees in Charlotte, but I could not help myself.

I have the overwhelming desire to paint something sweet.......maybe it is the current diet I am on. I can't decide - cupcakes, pie, ice cream. Check back tomorrow and see if I paint the cupcake or just eat it~

Where did the time go~

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans~

I disappeared for a while. Things have been so busy between family and work and getting everyone back to their respective schools--don't forget to add in car trouble and general scheduling conflicts.

Now that everyone is settled where they need to be, it is time to get back to work. I have missed painting. Here is a collection of what has happened since we visited last.

Pear for Kevin

4" x 5" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

My dear sweet Kevin has waited patiently and reminded me often about how much he wanted me to paint a pear with a bite out of it--- much like the one on the backside of his girlfriend "iPhone". Well, I finally took the time to paint what he wanted. I don't think much of it, but he was really pleased.

Audrey Grace

Time flies when you are having fun! It has been almost a year since Miss Audrey arrived. She came to spend Grandparent's Day with me and Kevin. She also had a checkup scheduled at Levine Children's Hospital so we spent several days together before she had to go home. We had so much fun. We picked out her Halloween costume, her dress for Thanksgiving, and helped her mom make plans for the upcoming birthday party. Being a grandma is fabulous!

Lemons in Red Bowl IV

I have recently participated in Art Shows at EBSQart.com. I was thrilled and honored to have my Lemons and Red Bowl IV chosen as Member's Choice of the "Still Life with Lemon" show.

Remember when I was working feverishly to finish my submissions for the "Ripped Off Show" My painting that I ripped from Sherry Key was chosen Member's Mention. My painting that I ripped from Amanda Makepeace was selected as Patron's Choice by the non-members of the website. I love participating in the shows at EBSQart.com, they are challenging and it is so rewarding to be recognized for your work.

Sherry's Rain

Orchid for Amanda

Well, that about brings us up to date~ painting tonight with a new small pear painting to be listed tomorrow, something in fall colors.

I will be finishing up the rooster and maybe I will paint a baby chick with an egg to go with it. I have the idea in my head for a ladybug painting.....I might try to get that on canvas by the end of the week. Of course, there will be more pears....and maybe a cupcake!

This has been a very busy week~ Not much painting was done. Hopefully, the children are all settled, everyone is getting into a routine. We still have to buy a bed and a sofa for Taylor's new apartment. But, there is always time for shopping~

Since I have not painted, my head is filling up with paintings that need to be on canvas before I forget them. New ballerina paintings, lily pond paintings, and a pineapple painting are on the list of things to do.

I did catch a painting sale at Michaels, found a new color I absolutely love! This color will definitely be in the new pineapple painting.

Well, I am off to get some paintings started.
