Summer Things

"Summer Things"
14"x14"
Oil on Canvas
 
So....Yesterday I set up this still life in my studio.  This morning I'm cleaning the kitchen and see one tomato on the counter.  I'm the only tomato-eater here and I knew I hadn't eaten any.  I couldn't imagine why my husband would throw out perfectly good tomatoes!  Did someone break in and eat the tomatoes?  Did my husband give someone the tomatoes?  I just couldn't figure out how a bunch of tomatoes just disappears!  I guess I've been inhaling too much turpentine or something because, I swear, it took me a few minutes before I remembered where they were!!  Good grief!
 
ANYWAY, I'm getting a lot of mileage out these sunflowers and I'm really enjoying painting them!
 
If you're in my area, I'll be at "Art on the Lake" this weekend at Children's Harbor on Lake Martin and I would love to see you!  It's Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday from 10-2!

"Sun and Water"

"Sun and Water"

Today I am painting some additional pieces to take with me to "Art on the Lake", an annual event at Children's Harbor on Lake Martin, Alabama.  This is my first time participating in the event and I am so excited!  I'm ready to kickoff summer and what better way to do it than with art at the lake?!
So, with summer on my mind, I thought sunflowers and watermelon would be a great thing to paint for the next few days.  
 
Over the weekend, I landed on a GREAT canvas sale and am now all stocked up with a variety of sizes and I actually managed to CLEAN UP MY STUDIO!!!  I feel much more energized now and raring to paint!
