I have been battling allergies for weeks!  I have tried everything and Claritin seems to be working the best.  So glad when this is over.  Not feeling well zaps your creative energy.  I am still working on the rooster painting, I am painting what strikes the creative urge until I feel better.

Thanks for stopping by~

Acrylic Paint on Ampersand Gessobord

So I grabbed the two lemons out of the fridge and told Kevin he could do without them for a couple of days.  The vase is really a soap dispenser, the top broke and I almost threw it away....until I stuck a flower in it~  and it became a painting!

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!
