This is a painting for President's Day. I'm still working on other paintings so I thought I would put up a couple of older paintings.The other grape painting sold to my friend Gloria and then she gave it to someone when she moved to Mexico.
This painting was painted with a brush and a palette knife. I had to take the picture indoors so the yellows seem washed out. I'll try to take it again when the sun comes out.
One Friday my husband gave me a large, tall bouquet of flowers for my birthday. Yesterday was my son's birthday so I cut down one of the flowers short and stuck it in a pewter pitcher for a center piece. We all agreed that I should paint the centerpiece. I don't know what the flowers are called.
This was the painting that had the peach. I removed the peach remembering one of my instructors at the Academy, Ben Kamihira, saying if it doesn't add anything to the painting remove it.
