Still Life with Pears, 8x6 Oil on Canvas Panel

Purchase

I've been in an Elio Camacho workshop with Carol and Donna all week, and the above painting is not one I did in the workshop. I'm not quite satisfied with those, but what a great learning experience it was! I can't wait to start painting today with my newfound knowledge. I do need Elio over my shoulder saying, "Do you really need that flea?" and "You're licking the paint." Artists will know what that means.

It didn't hurt that we were on beautiful Amelia Island and eating seafood every day. I think Carol and Donna set a record for most shrimp eaten in one week. The whole experience was fabulous and I can't wait till next time.

Plaid Pears, 8x10 Mixed Media

This was just plain fun. I didn't know where I was going with this, but I rather enjoy the result. It's hard to get me away from oils and collage, but sometimes it's good to play around with other media. This is definitely a kitchen painting, wouldn't you say?
