Last fall I turned off the lights in my studio and positioned my plein air easel near the open door for just enough light to see what I was doing.  I lit a candle in this happy little glass pumpkin and dropped a handful of candy.  Custom framed in an antique gold (not shiny) frame.  Ready to hang with your other fall decor!  If you're considering a purchase, please email me for a picture of it in the frame.  Happy Fall, everyone!

Last August I enjoyed painting this sweet little gem while sitting in my friend's gallery, Studio C in Claremont.  I painted a series of small still life with items I carried in from home each day.  This is my favorite.  The framing on this piece is classy looking: finely finished burgundy/black with a gold lip.  Ready to hang where you have a small space that needs a fine looking pop of color.

In the height of apple season, my neighbors apples hung over our fence so I picked a few.  Not only were they sweet, but they had the most delicate coloration.  Soft green with hints of pink.  I am sorry I'm not a better photographer of my work.  The photo just doesn't capture the subtle color of this piece.

Painted last fall, these are heirloom apples from our backyard tree.  Also pictured is my favorite little basket to paint.  In some of my previous paintings it has held peaches, eggs, and now apples.  When the basket is not posing in my studio, it often holds freshly fried tortilla strips for dipping into our home grown guacamole.  Yum!
