"Simple Breakfast 2" - SOLD

I decided to do a whole series like this. I used a different light than I generally use so that it would be softer (sometimes also better for flowers). I normally use a daylight spotlight bulb, but for this I used a "true" white bulb I got forever ago at a specialty lightbulb store.

I really like the composition and colors. The vase and flower is almost in the center, but the way that you balanced everything makes it work perfectly. Really nice one!

These are quite a departure. I'm quite taken with them and look forward to seeing more. I know how tiny the items are and what skill it takes to render them in a few simple strokes. You did a masterful job.

As always, the children and I LOVE looking at your work...I am so glad they get the advantage of seeing art painted by a real live artist I actually know! Which brings to mind...have you ever thought of doing a children's book? Your paintings would be fabulous for a numbers or colors book where there is little to no writing but the experience of discovery in the painting would go on and on....just a thought...love ya!

These breakfast paintings are so inspiring! They remind me of all the tips you gave in the workshop...visible brushstrokes and brilliant compositions! Thanks for sharing your genius! Happy Belated Birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday Carol! These last two are wonderful, I like how you've varied the orange colors just barely, no two are the same. And I like the soft light in this one too.Joan
