Turquoise Gift

I love this two sided satin ribbon. Not really Christmas colors but I really had fun trying to paint all these bright, hot, colors using a limited palette.

Warm Ups! 8" x 8" oil

I took and 8" x 8" canvas and divided it into 4" square so I could do 10 minute paintings as warm ups. I am finding that this helps me with color and composition because I don't have time to mess around. I have to make a decision and go with it.

Squash Buddies 6" x 8" oil

A couple of nice squash with great stems - my favorite part.

Pinecones 6" x 8" 0il

This was a quick study of a couple of pine cones found on a walk.

Season Finale

This was the last of the heirloom tomatoes for the season and some striped fabric I wanted to try using.. Oil 8" x 10".

Dishes

Another stack of Fiesta dishes. 6" x 8" oil

Tipsy 6" x 8" oil

Carol Marine does a lot with stacked cups and I really like some of her compositions, so I thought I'd give it a try. I also wanted to use my polka- dot fabric.
