THE WHITE PITCHER

This is the final version...I  added a small berry towards the front and brightened the berries on the left.

This was more pleasing to me.

I love painting with these two colors....makes me happy.  I am now sing Michael Harding's paints and I absolutely LOVE them! In fact, I will be ordering more colors this morning.  luckily, I can now get them at Jerry's Artarama online!

I am (trying) painting 30 in 30 days! This is day 6 of 30 and today is the 16th.  I have to paint when my great granddaughter (now 4 months old) sleeps.  Maybe I will be painting 30 in 60 days!  LOL  The main thing is that I am painting when I can!

CHERRY AND DELFT

I wanted to do the 30 paintings in 30 days, but, this is #3 and today is the 14th.  I have a lot of catching up to do!

Just finished three illustrations for book covers. I did the illustrated stories last summer.  There were  five stories, but, these 3 are the first to be published.  They are stories her grandfather told her and she wanted them for her grandchildren.  I can't wait to see a real copy of each!

LATEST PAINTING: THE WHITE PITCHER 9X12 OIL ON PANEL

Received these wonderful , juicy pears as a gift from my son and daughter-in-law.  They are Harry and David blemished pears.  You literally have to eat them over the sink as they are SO juicy and have a marvelous taste! If you have never had any of their fruit...you don't know what you are missing.

Decided I had to paint them.  I worked on the set-up for 2 days.  I have more pears, a bird on the left, etc.
Would add, then take away.  Finally, my daughter (who is my best critic) said get rid of the bird....this is the result.

I plan to enter them in several contests..so we shall see how it goes.  Will keep you posted.
