Red and Green Grapes

          My third piece with the grapes on my kitchen counter.    
I put the red and green on the same plate this time.

How is your summer going so far?
Fun in the sun I hope!

Happy Easter 4

 Happy Easter

 I guess these guys were busy last night.

 Deciding what to do this sunny Easter Sunday.

Enjoy your day.........

I am sharing this with Sweet Shot Tuesday and Shadow Shot Sunday.

On My Kitchen Counter 4

Cold and snowy winter days are hopefully over.
They kept me indoors setting up

fruit and veg still life possibilities for future paintings. 

Long winter days can drive one

bonkers and I sometimes resorted to playing with my food before preparing it.

With such colors,,, who could resist painting such beauties.

Too pretty to eat you say.  

That is the best part,,,eating the props.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful start to springtime.

Back to the drawing board.....

Cherries 2

Hope your weekend is as sunny and beautiful as it is here in southern Germany.

I am working on more cherry watercolors.  

One is in the beginning phase and the other in about phase three with about four.... or so more to go.

Have a great weekend!

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Cherries

Cherries on my kitchen counter.

I am having fun doing a watercolor of this foto.

What are you having for dessert today?  Why not put a cherry on top. Or better yet..

why not have "a bowl full" of those juicy beauties.

December Glow

This little chrystal angel throws a mighty big shadow for it's size.

In all the hectic,,,,take a minute to light a candle and feel the glow

of the season.

Sending you warm thoughts.

Blueberry Delight

 I have been having so much fun in my classes....painting and photography.  Lots of action around

here.  I know I have been quiet on the blogging front but I have been making lots of art.

I am presently working on two blueberry watercolors.  They are both in the first washes.

 Here is the second one.  

Yes, I know they look VERY pink but that will all even itself out

as I apply more washes. 

 I am painting these two in pure watercolor.  You will understand

why as you  keep on reading this post.

 This is a watercolor and gouache with ink that I did this past summer.  I kept applying thin layers of

white gouache around the edges until I liked the blurrrrrrr....mainly because I did not like the fact that

I painted it to death with the gouache.  Gouache does that to me once in awhile so I just faded it out 

and left a focal point and of course, added a digital frame. 

 Another one.....watercolors and wax pastel.  Again using  white gouache in the periphery

This one is gouache and wax pastel and yes, you guessed it......white gouache in the periphery here too.

I had fun experimenting with mixing my mediums.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday and Nature Footstep.

Hope you are doing well and having a good start to your week.

Blueberries

My favorite summer fruit. 

 Nothing tastes better than chilled blueberries.

I have been eating so many of them lately that I thought

I better snap a few before they are all gone today. 

 I have started a few watercolor paintings of these beauties.

The best thing is.....as you are working on them and the 

blood sugar starts feeling a little low....just pop a few

in your mouth and you have the energy to paint all day long.

What are you working on this week?

I am sharing my berries with Tuesday Muse, Tuesday Around the World and 

Sweet Shot Tuesday.

Lemons

I am busy trying to finish up paintings started way back in 2012.

Seems like ages ago already doesn´t it?

This is a shot of the lower half of a much larger watercolor lemon piece.

I hope you are having a nice Sunday afternoon.

Just One Apple

An apple a day..............you know the rest.

Just one apple from many on a piece that hangs in my

neighbor´s kitchen. I go visit it once in awhile.

An acrylic apple for Daily Paintworks.

Staying Warm

I normally love the cold but this cold spell we have been

having is even too much for me.

My fireplace has been my friend in the last weeks....so much

so that I had to paint it.

I hope you are staying warm.
