Daisies in Blue Sunflower Pitcher

This 9X12 Oil still life was painted in class.  The blue and green color scheme is very serene and relaxing to the eye.   I hesitated painting the sunflower on the pitcher, but think it brought this painting to life.

Brie and Fruit Still Life

This 12 X 16 oil painting was painted at a workshop I attended this weekend.  The workshop started at 9:30 a.m. and ended at 4 p.m.   Six and half hours of painting... I was physically and mentally exhausted.  There were 15 students in a large sunlit studio with skylights painting about five still life set ups. There was a competition to get there early and get the best easel and choice of still life that I was not aware of and ended up in the back.  This still life wasn't my first choice, but I'm happy about the workshop and painting with such a talented group of artists.  Next time I will get there early and be prepared to be competitive.  In the end I love this painting and the experience.

Blue Hydrangea in Copper Pot

This 9X12 oil painting was painted in class.  Painting copper is interesting and I will definitely add it to my favorites.  

Daffodils Revisited

This 8X10 oil still life on Gessobord was painted in class.  I got a pit in my stomach when I walked in class and saw the still life set up was daffodils.  My nemesis, the dreaded daffodil, was back to torture me.  Though happy with it's turn out,  I can wait another year before having to paint them again.  Taking a painting class definitely takes you out of your comfort zone.  This painting SOLD from my Esty Shop.

Jug and Onions Still Life

This 8X10 oil on Gessobord was painted in my new still life class.  This small Saturday morning class is a joy.  The teacher  has great props and she set up two still lives to chose from each week.  This oil painting on Gessobord is available in my Esty Shop.

Oranges and Cruet on Cloth

This 6X6 oil on Gessobord is my first painting in my new class.   Working for two sessions on one painting is usually not my style, but I'm happy with the results.  I had wanted to paint something on cloth for the Daily Paintworks Challenge.  I'm fortunate that I have a special interest that gives me such a high. This oil painting on Gessobord is available in my Esty Shop.
