The inside of a pomegranate is a pretty wild thing to paint. On the whole, I like painting the outside better. Who can resist placing that shiny highlight as the last step? I have to admit, though, these juicy little seed-berries were quite the cadmium-red bacchanalia.

Oh well, what to say about this one? I had a couple glasses of Oregon wine in my studio after putting the baby to bed, and this is what I woke up to the next morning. I love it! Go figure.

Some of you may be wondering about the lengthening and redundant titles of my blog posts - in fact, I'm surprised my editorial staff (hi, Mom and Dad) haven't already sent me a memo. According to Dailypainters.com web guru Micah Condon, having lots of keywords in your post title increases the likelihood that your blog will turn up in google searches. Let's hope it's working, because it sure feels silly!

I thought I'd take a stab at "restful," since my last few offerings have been kind of color intensive!

"After Company" oil painting Impressionist interior still life - $1 starting bid on ebay

 6 x 8"
oil on canvas
Sold

This painting is titled "After Company" because it shows our guest bed stripped of sheets after my sister's Thanksgiving week visit. It's kind of a melancholy image, but if I look at it another way, it could be the guest room before company comes, just waiting for clean sheets to be put on...
The painting-within-a-painting is "Studio View." It's just hanging out on the wall waiting for its frame to come in the mail.

"Oranges in a Pitcher, Day" - oil on canvas 8x8 - $100 on ebay

 

8 x 8"

Sold

Hoping not to sound repetitive, but it's First Friday art walk time once again! (The monthly nature of First Friday kind of engenders repetitiveness, so I won't be too hard on myself.) Imagine has lots of gorgeous work on view, and a bunch of my Christmas cards, too! Maybe I'll see you tomorrow...

I am so into interiors right now. I've always considered them challenging. When I was in college, I took a class entitled "Drawing and Painting the Figure in Interior." With a name like that, it's got to be a long class, and it was: 12 hours long! Well, we did have an hour for lunch.

These teeny oranges are so much fun to stack and paint, and they're also Eleanor's favorite food-du-jour, so I have to paint them pretty fast! I did an apple painting similar to this one a few weeks ago. Thinking about displaying them together...

From the Fall Garden - a still life oil painting by Sarah Sedwick

this is a sold commission piece

I really love Craig's List. I can point to several awesome things currently in my life that are a direct result of Craig's List - and this painting is one of them! This piece is actually going to be bartered with a local art lover in exchange for an almost brand new easel. I think we are both very pleased with the arrangement - but on top of it all, I got to have a blast painting these gorgeous garden treasures grown by my client. Lucky me!
