Fall Colors

 

Hello everyone.....

 

"Fall Colors", oil on canvas, 8x10

 

I spent my Sunday afternoon painting this and took a break at a yogurt place with my family in downtown Arlington Heights. Although it was a warm day I could smell autumn in the air, my favorite season.

I like this small gourd & red pear (bought at local grocery, the maple leaf was picked from the ground) and plan to do more (time permits) in the future. So this painting is my welcome to autumn!

 

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Have a great week!

 



Pear and Tomatoes

Happy Saturday!

I've done this a while ago. As someone new to still life studio painting I am still learning to set up my objects and lighting.

I'm happy to see that gourds are coming to grocery stores, they're so beautiful (very interesting shape & color) and, hopefully, to paint.....

 

Enjoy your weekend and thank you for reading my blog!

The Red Beauty

Hello Everyone, TGIF!

I painted this beautiful T-model (1911) last Sunday (09.22.2013) at The Arlington Heights Historical Museum parking lot. They had vintage cars show and I was able to do plein aire there. There were so many beautiful cars to paint, but, unfortunately, I didn't have time to do more than this.-:)

The weather was perfect, I spent couple hours painting and socialized with people who came by my easel, it was a lovely day!

 

 

Me...taking a break! -:)

The Ripe Papaya

Happy Monday!

Another yummy fruit that I like so much!

Like mango fruit, I can't grow this in Illinois either. -:)

Maybe someday when scientists bio-engineered it to withstand the Midwest winter....but, I may not like the result. I am not 100% convinced that GMO is safe for human consumption.

 

Have a great week and thank you for visiting my blog.

Peach & Orchid

Happy Monday!

I am not sure this arrangement is interesting enough.-:)

I borrowed the miniature orchid plant (that hasn't flowered in years) from the bathroom and the peach from my kitchen fruit basket. It wasn't that easy to paint these two...but, I tried! -:)

 

Have a great week and thank you for visiting my blog!

Red & Green Mangoes

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

 

"Red & Green Mangoes", oil on canvas, 8x10

 

One of my favorite fruits in the world.-:)

My parents always have mango tree(s) in their yard, so did my grandparents. It's sad that I can't grow that here in Illinois, unless I have a giant greenhouse like the one in Washington, D.C.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great week!

The Red & Yellow Peppers

Happy Tuesday!
