Strawberry Splash
8"x8" oil on gessoed masonite archival panel
"An onion can make people cry, but there has never been a vegetable invented to make them laugh."
- Will Rogers
Tuesday I stayed in the studio making good use of this batch of flowers, as well as catch up on laundry, and clean up before I head down to Norfolk, VA this week. It's been a while since I pulled my dragon-fly teapot down to use with some flowers. It makes such a nice contrast against the pink cloth. I also enjoy getting the lighting such as to leave part of the daisies in shadow, it makes such interesting effects. I haven't opened the little jar of strawberries, in fact I can't ever remember buying canned/jarred strawberries before- but they looked interesting enough to paint! To purchase online, please visit my DailyPainters.com gallery.
*****Just a reminder for my Hampton Roads friends; this week I'm headed to Norfolk! Saturday, April 30th I'll be demo-ing palette knife techniques and speaking about "Finding Your Artistic Voice" at London Square Gallery from noon to 2pm. I'd love for you to join us!

Gorgeous painting! Not only shows off the subject but also the joy of creating.
Thanks so very much Susan. I'm so glad that happiness comes through. I feel like I really turned a corner on some of my thinking about still-lifes this past winter (& it has really turned a corner for me in my work). Thanks for the kind comments!
