Copper Ladle, Pot and Pepper - If you normally follow this blog you no doubt have noticed the often use of these warm tones combined with accented light and shadows. I can't stay far away from it for some reason. Your comments are welcome.

In addendum, I'm considering some definite changes for 2011; however loosing the warm tones is not one of them. Now that I've done almost four hundred paintings, most of them fairly small, I want to move to larger more complicated projects and that will probably mean a smaller total number of completed paintings for 2011. Initially nothing much will change as I still have a number of small format canvas panels in inventory. In conclusion as the year goes by I will be working in larger pieces and hopefully I will stay as interested in the painting process with the change. One of the things I presently like is completing most paintings in a couple of hours, some in less than thirty minutes. That seems to be my comfort zone. With larger canvases I can see much more project planning, prep work and under painting, extended drying times between new layers and Etc., Etc. This will be a challenge for me as I'm not necessarily wired that way. Time will tell....

Ripe Peaches - For many years I experienced fresh ripe peaches in the back yard. The tree is no longer producing for some reason and I miss the wonderful fresh fruit it produced. Now I am forced to buy our July peaches in the store like most everyone else. Your comments are welcome.

Light and Shadows - I don't know if anyone else finds these type of studies interesting to do, but I do. Bright light can produce mood and drama in a painting and promotes thought. I really like to experiment with it. Your comments are welcomed.

Night Floral - Light and shadows create the drama of this 8 x 10. The petals catch the light, create shadows to add to the three dimensional appearance as do the one flower within the depth of field and two beyond. Your comments are welcome.

Yellow Pansy - Oil on 11 x14 Canvas Panel

No Longer Available

Yellow Pansy - The light from above and behind creates shadows on the satin background and illuminates the delicate flowers to create real contrast. This reminiscent of something old fashioned, but then I'm old fashioned so I guess it fits. To me, it's pleasing to the eye. Your comments are welcome.

Green Glass Vase - When I was a child at home in Minnesota we had several of these planters or vases in our living room. They would house different flower arrays at different times of the growing season. Spring time was very much like this. Your comments are welcome.

Wine Flute - Here we go again with something new for me. I've never attempted to paint clear glass before. I really enjoyed the first try, also I've very pleased with the outcome. Something had to set it off so I tried a couple of impressionistic peaches and a branch. If you look carefully you can pick up the colors in the glass. I would appreciate your comments...

Cream and Sugar and Tea - Sometimes a cup of tea really hits the spot. I like mine with cream and sugar; I think they call that English style, but I'm not sure. I tried to keep it warm and the cups and pots simple. Your comments are welcome.

Lavender Vase and Flowers - This my 300th painting posted to the blog. They say, come to think of it who are "they" anyway, that you have to paint around 500 paintings to have mastered what you are doing. Only a couple of hundred more to go; probably a year and a half or so and I'll be there. I normally don't use these colors, but for the 300th I thought I would try them. Your comments are always welcome.
