Apple Plated

We go through bushels of apple in our house. I have quite a sweet tooth and I find they meet my need for sugar quite nicely and they are much more healthier for me.

Red Apple and Classes


6x6"
oil on panel
$150.00 (Canadian funds)

This was a demo I did for my Tuesday night students.

Yes I have taken in a handful of students for the winter. They are a great bunch!
In the spring I will have three evenings set aside for classes. Check out the side of my blog for classes and updates.
All classes are based on how I approach my paintings so if you like dynamic color and bold strokes these classes might be for you!

Please let me know if you are interested as soon as possible as my space can only accommodate a very limited amount of people.

I love the fork in this painting. The reflections almost make it look camouflaged.

Transparent glass is difficult to capture, and so is the delicacy of egg shell. I enjoyed the challenge of both in this one.

Toppled Over


6x6"
oil on panel
$150.00 (Canadian funds)

Its difficult to place objects in a still life and not make them staged. I think this one was successful in achieving a natural placement.

An unassuming set up, no one object here is really vying for your attention. Somehow it seems to work.

It's the cups turn to hide in this game of hide and seek. Will the marble find him?

Painting high reflective surfaces has got to be one of my favorite things to paint. These red high gloss cups are so much fun! Cappuccino tastes pretty good out of them too!

I love painting this bowl. It is pottery with a wonderful blue glaze. I eat my cereal out of it almost everyday!

Protea on a Cup


6x6"
oil on panel
$150.00 (Canadian funds)

Protea is an evergreen shrub from South Africa. I find them to be very interesting plants especially when dried. I loved how the leaves made these great shadows on the plate. This one was so much fun to paint.

Pastel Petals


6x6"
oil on panel
$150.00
I visit flower shops and pick up greenery for my paintings. Often I let the greenery dry out right in the vase, that way the leaves take on great shapes.
