Preparing Tea

sold

My (somewhat) recent tea series gave me great practice for this larger piece (12x12in). My favorite part was figuring out all the different values for the tea itself and the lemons. Quite fun.

Tea To Be

sold

I had the idea for a tea series the other day when I was waking up from a nap. I don't take them often, but they do seem productive for ideas, so I guess I should take more! What a hardship.

Sugaraholic

sold

On Monday we are going out of town to visit my husband's birth-mother in Germany for 2 weeks. This was a tough decision, but I'm going to leave all my paints here and bring only a brand new watercolor set, some pens and my sketchbook. My hope is this will force me out of my comfort zone. Ahh! I might post some things on my Facebook page, but probably nothing here until after April 4 (unless I end up painting tomorrow). I also won't be able to ship any paintings until after April 4.

Salt or Sweet?

sold

I got this and a few other salt shakers from one of my kids at a workshop on Whidbey Island this year. She made me promise I would paint them, and I have been completely negligent up to this point. Sorry about that!

Eggless

I LOVE painting eggshells. I could do it all day. I saved these from my breakfast. My husband said, "It's kind of weird that you have eggshells on a plate. And sugar?" But they go together so well, don't they? "Yes, they do. And I guess that's all that matters." Good husband.

I know this one might seem a little silly at first glance, but, well, it represents some very important stuff. Like ... social inequality and ... misguided expectations and ... internal peace. Yeah, like that.

Sweet Enough?

I had this same sugar bowl before the fire. I have found it again, many times over. I love it. David finished one set of studio shelves yesterday and amazingly I've already collected enough to fill the entire thing! I'll post a picture soon.
