My godson said this is his favorite of all the paintings I have done. He loves these organic golden delicious apples. Tomorrow I’ll post its companion painting which is a close up of the apple.

Another 12″ x 12″ close up of the mystery berries.
UPDATE: A friend who grew up around here asked her Dad and based on her description of their shape, color, and arrangement, he thinks they are poke berries and not to be eaten. A quick search on google reveals that he is correct, but that there [...]

I found these berries on a hillside a few weeks ago and loved their red stalks. I have no idea what they are or even if they’re edible, but one was missing from this bunch.

When Kate was here last week, interviewing me for the Carrol County News, she asked for the title of this painting and then the reason it was named that. I laughed and she said she had to ask. I had to answer, but I felt a little silly about the reason. It’s a line from [...]

Here’s the 12″ x 12″ painting that is the partner of the bugged out painting in yesterday’s post. It’s a beautiful baby blue scooter. It must belong to someone who works in or owns an equally charming shop in town next to this little spot where it rests. I love it and it seems a [...]

I am continuing with my series of 12″ x 12″ paintings done in pairs. Can you guess what this one is? It’s not a bug, as most all have guessed. I’ll post its partner painting tomorrow and it will reveal a larger view.

Yummy! I actually don’t like to eat chocolate covered cherries, but I do love to look at them. I found these in the fabulous old fashioned candy shop downtown. I love the curved glass cases with jars of colorful treats on top. I think I’ll go back there for more inspiration soon. This is another [...]

This is a 12″ x 12″ painting which is a close up of some mind blowing mushrooms I saw by Grotto Spring. I’m working primarily on 12 x 12 canvas and painting scenes from around town. I’m doing some pairs of paintings in which one is a closeup and the other is the [...]
I have been doing so much for other aspects of my business and life, that painting on canvas had become sort of new to me again. I did a very small painting of pumpkins that is okay, but nothing great to make or see. I then started to work on a street scene which [...]
Preparing paper is a view of my sink as I prepare to paint. I am soaking paper in a large white bowl which shares the red sink with a green cereal bowl and a spoon. The painting measures 12″ x 12″, is on a wrapped canvas with the painting continuing on the sides. It requires [...]

New painting that I did while taking a rest from the big one of the lake scene. Lovely little flowers in a ledge on the side of a historic hotel downtown. Spring is here and I am eager for summer, perhaps that is why the lake painting is coming now. This one is up for [...]
