I'm reading Henshe on Painting and this was an attempt at capturing the light key. As I understand it so far, the basic idea is that you mix up a few main colors and apply them in general geometric blocks to represent the form, trying to really bring the feeling of the thing across through correctly capturing the light's color. Once I was happy with the color/value relationships, I fiddled around with the details. I left my spotlight off this one, and just relied on the light from the window. I'm definitely going to do more of this.

Today was the first Saturday Market of the year here in Eugene. It was a bit cold and drizzly, but my mom and I were glad to be back browsing the local organic produce. These radishes were the most beautiful thing there. If you want to see some more "conventional" radishes, click here.

This little painting reminds me of my time as a waitress and bartender. Cherries and oranges get muddled together in a drink called an "Old Fashioned." Sound good? It is...if you like bourbon! Here's the recipe.

My husband always teases me for leaving in all the chips and cracks when I paint ceramic dishes. It's true - they're my favorite part!
