Perfectly Broken

Perfectly Broken : oil painting - 8x8" | SOLD

Luckily we only have a few minor scrapes and dings after Irene's visit this weekend. Nothing major broken And so far only a few annoying electrical blips...but I will keep the emergency lights handy until the ground dries out.

Looking forward to a perfect blue sky tomorrow, with the air swept clean and fresh

A Tasty Time at the 73 See Gallery

Opening Reception : Everyday Illuminations

A big thank you to everyone who braved the tempestuous weather to visit the show opening this Sunday. I am sure Mary's homemade apple cake was a delectable reward for your heroic efforts!

And an extra big thank you to all the people who bought a tasty little painting to take home with them - you made my Pie Day especially delicious

You can see all the pictures in the art show online or in the photo gallery of my facebook page And if you are in Montclair, NJ this summer then you can see the show for real until September 30th

Nestling in the Salad Box

Nestled : small oil painting | 8x8"

Smearing the wet paint to make the see-through plastic box and then laying on fresh clean paint for those irresistible spiky green vines - I had way too much fun with this one

Slice : No Ice

lemon slice oil painting | 8x8" | SOLD

I'm very fond of this little painting. It was a fun challenge to try to catch that glow as it was lit from behind and to dull the yellow in the shady areas, without making my perfect lemon slice look grubby. You might need to see it in person to fully appreciate the purple and emerald green background, which shimmers like a heat haze. I can almost hear the cicadas singing when I look at this one

This will be part of “Everyday Illuminations”

Lingering over Lemonade

Tart : oil painting | 8x10"  |  SOLD

Painting lemons seemed an appropriately fresh summer indulgence to fight the inclination to linger with yet another tall glass of something zesty; off on an adventure to the Plains of Mongolia with Genghis

The added benefit of painting lemons is that, should the afternoon take a more... relaxed turn, there is always a lemon handy in the fridge

New work : Onion Flourish

yellow onions : oil painting  |  9x12"

This is what happens when the painting takes way too long! Mother Nature starts to add her own flourishes.

Thank you to everyone who made it out in the mizzling drizzle yesterday to the Montclair Museum Art Fair. As Sunday is not looking like a beach day either, stop by for half price admission to the museum and get a bit of culture instead.

The Affordable Art Fair will continue all day too, so you can see this fresh new painting in its lovely new frame - it's looking quite posh!
