With this painting, I wanted to capture that time of the day when all you can focus on is the hot cup in front of you, its aroma gently rousing your brain to bring the rest of the world into focus.
Sometimes that time of day is 6am...sometimes it is noon...and at this time of the year especially, it sometimes involves a pounding headache and a bit of a delicate stomach.

fig.1 | oil painting | 8x8" SOLD
I was trying to catch the exquisite pleasure of munching fresh figs - a fairly recent discovery for me. A Christmas packet of squashed-together-figs and a barge of dried dates were always knocking around the fruit bowl well into the New Year, when all the satsumas were long gone. But they were the dried-up golden variety.
Nothing wrong with them. Quite like them in fact. But it was a while before I realized that figs are not flat and wizened and all about those crunchy seeds
Not a hint of the honeyed, moist flesh of the fresh ones; the joy of soft, fuzzy skin yielding to plump, rosy...
a-hem ... excuse me, I must just go and eat a fig...
PS - this one sold before it was even finished, let alone dry! But you can still buy a print on Etsy - free US shipping
Look out for fig.2...coming soon

The paint on this wee still life study barely had time to dry before it was whisked away to a new home last Sunday. Would that the day had been slightly drier also!
A big "Thank you" to all who braved the elements- not so much the glorious fall sunshine as promised, but more the persistently moist mists of autumn. I think all my upcoming shows are indoors from now on!
With over 70 artists this year there should be be able to find a little something to warm up your home this fall, and with only 13 venues you can easily see the whole show! I shall be at Kathryn Joseph Salon, 168 South Street (@corner of Elm), along with Mike Dziomba and Chris Siasat.
Venues are mostly along Elm and South Street, you can stroll along the avenue, taking in the art along with the great bakeries, restaurants and boutiques on the way. Then stop on the green to enjoy the first hints of autumnal red leaves with an afternoon snack. Maps are available at all the venues - or click to see venues pdf Morristown Art Walk Venues
