These cherries are checking out their reflections! 

There was originally a spoon in this photo reference, but I took it out and added cherries to match the lovely reds in the jelly. Thanks to Sarah Sedwick for her generosity - she's always supplying awesome photos to work from.

8x10" original oil painting on 3/4" panel

I've always liked the little cocktail umbrellas that adorn 'fancy', sometimes silly, drinks. So here they are! Painting their shadows was just as fun as painting them. As well as a cool bird. Looking into the cup and red vase was tricky, but I like the circular shapes they make. A few cherries and Voila!

Today's aerial view, or flat lay, includes a sprig of mint in the tea cup. I put down some different coloured papers to jazz it up. Then I found some 'like minded' objects and brewed a cuppa tea! ; )

Lookin' into a tea cup from above! It was interesting to see all of these object from a new perspective - it kind of challenged the way I identify each object. I included my favourite little glass apple. #flaylay

Happy New Year's Eve Y'all.

I've painted a candlelit still-life a few times and I just love the contrasts it creates.

I love these orange and pink flowers together. They just glowed under the light as I painted them in my studio. Also, these charming little 4x4" panels allow for a looseness that a bigger size doesn't always encourage. : )

$90 - 5x5" original oil painting on 1" deep panel

This painting is called Take 2 because... well, take 1 is pictured below. I was very happy with my little painting until I realized there was a fault line right down the middle of my canvas. Doh! and Argh! So, I grabbed a fresh board and painted the lovely pink and orange flowers again (above). I love the dark wine flowers, they really helps spruce up the mix. Thankfully, I'm equally happy with take 2. : )

I captured a pic of the morning sky (back with traffic looked like this) knowing I'd oil paint it one day. Like today!!! 

cutie-patootie border collie

$70 ≈5x5" original oil painting with 1" deep painted sides

My favourite dog is the awesome intelligent border collie!

Today, while looking for a portrait to paint, I found a picture of a border collie that had mistakenly made it's way into the people portrait folder. Then I thought... Hmm... maybe it wasn't a mistake. Obviously she was asking to be painted.
