I'm tempted to keep this one for myself, it's so soothing to my eye. Some color combinations just speak to us, don't they?

I picked this pear from amidst the jumble at an antique mall on the Oregon coast last week...

...and it's since made itself right at home with my other still life objects. It's an ever-changing menagerie!

Did you know I sell these black and tan sketches? Usually to followers on Instagram, since that's where they are most often posted. If you see one you like, send me an email! They are $50 a piece. 

Thanks for reading!

Hoping you all had a great Mother's Day weekend. I went a little crazy on Saturday, competing in a 5 mile mud run and getting ever so slightly banged up. After attempting to minister to my bruises and scrapes all day Sunday, I thoroughly enjoyed (the comparatively civilized act of) painting with my still life workshop students this morning!

Ok, I admit that I had some lofty ideas about my goals for the year, back around new years time (four months ago!), like doing some shows in local coffee shops, attempting to break into the Portland gallery scene, etc. Well, so far this year, I've been putting a lot more effort into my distance running goals than my art-showing goals, but I did manage to get a piece accepted into the Emerald Art Center spring juried show, which opens tomorrow night. If anyone is out searching for some art to look at tomorrow around 5:30, come say hi!

"The Kanji Vase"

 

8 x 10"

oil on canvas

I love this blue cloth against the oranges. Talk about your complements! Also, a word about the vase: I trash-picked it from the dumpster behind a local ceramics studio. A potter was throwing it out! What I was doing rummaging in their dumpster...um, nevermind.

And speaking of fun things to do in Eugene: if you're planning to come out for the Marathon on Sunday, keep your eyes peeled for Carol and I. We'll be running the Half!

Dear Cheese, 

I really can't explain why this is the first time in four years of daily painting that I've chosen you as a subject. I believe that, perhaps, at a very deep level, I want to keep you all to myself.

xo,

Christmas Ornaments - and a Pocket Painting

Jesse came into my studio today and remarked that these ornament paintings look a lot better in person than they do online, and I have to agree! 3 x 3" oil on canvas Sold

Looking for a unique way to decorate for Hanukkah this year? A fishbowl full of blue and silver ornaments of different sizes looks beautiful on a coffee table. This painting would look even better! Think this image would be perfect for your holiday cards this season? Email me for details.

I've seen a lot of great pumpkin paintings on the internet over the past week, and here is my own offering, pocket sized:

I know, it's only mid-October, but look out: as soon as the election is over, it's going to BE the holidays! (So if you think you're annoyed by all the campaign ads now, just wait until the Christmas ads get started.)

Here is another street scene from Eugene. It also happens to be daily painting number 150! I've really been enjoying creating this blog, and learning a lot in the process - not to mention meeting fellow artists and making new friends.

Chinese Lanterns

This plant, Physalis alkekengi, aka Chinese Lantern or Japanese Lantern is actually a real plant (as opposed to the bouquets of mini plastic pumpkins on sticks I've seen around lately), which I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't looked it up on the internet with my own two eyes. Very interesting, and fall-like.

I don't know if I have a drawing problem around the mouth of the pitcher or if the pitcher has a ceramics problem all it's own. Oh well, it's got character anyway.

These lilies caught my eye as I walked into Trader Joe's today. I wonder how many times I can paint these before they die? Stay tuned...

This is a monster of a tomato. It was calling my name at the farmer's market over the weekend. I've been complaining a lot lately about how expensive food has become, but at least I got double duty out of this one: a painting and lunch!
