This is # 100 in my line of daily paintings! I painted my favorite thing. :)

"Shadow Play" --- SOLD



What can I say? I love fruit and their shadows. I think of it as miniature drama.

"Flotsum" --- n/a



This is a bobble bird I got in Galveston, TX a couple of years ago. My husband named him Flotsum right off and put him up on our mantle. I love his sheepish look and those big feet!

"Mighty Hippo" --- SOLD



This is another selection from my son's toybox. It's a small, plastic hippo. Isn't it ferocious?!

"Made in Mexico" --- n/a



This is a little rock carving of a horse, made in Mexico. I was going for subtle for a change.

"Leading the Pack" --- SOLD



These are actually very flat (disc-like) pearl onions. As I stood in front of the onion bin picking out my favorites, an older man came up beside me and said "how do you pick out the good ones?" I said "I don't know, I just pick the cute ones." :)

"In Line" --- SOLD



Don't these nectarines appear to be waiting in line? I hate waiting, and avoid it at all costs. If I go out to dinner I go early or late or to the less popular restaurants. I go to the grocery store in the morning during the week to avoid the crowds. The only waiting I can't avoid is in the doctor's office, so I always bring a book. Otherwise, what a waste of time. Argh. What a grump I am today.

"Three Apples" --- SOLD



I've really been having a great time with these apples. The little bits of green are so fun to paint, and I enjoy coming up with the set-ups. I know this isn't the most creative title...but there you go.

"Figure Skaters" --- SOLD



When I was composing this painting, and I looked through my viewfinder at these two apples in this configuration, I couldn't help but see two figure skaters, gliding across the ice. Now, this may seem a bit silly, considering they are apples...but that's what I saw nonetheless. Maybe you can see it too?

"Apple Race" --- SOLD



These apples reminded me of runners at the starting line. I used to run the mile and 2 mile in track in high school, and I remember standing there, thinking about the long track ahead and how fast the girls around me might be, and getting a little sting of adrenalin. Sometimes I think I kind of miss that, but I really don't.
