Bartlett in a Bowl

5" x 5"

Oil on Board

This is day 15 of Leslie Saeta's painting challenge.  Half way there!  I was in a hurry today so I did another pear.  I like painting pears but I think everyone else must get tired of looking at them.  I painted this in an hour and didn't spend any time looking at after so I can see a problem with my bowl that I will go back in and fix (just not today).  I find that painting everyday is difficult to accomplish for me on the weekends, too much going on.  I will start fresh tomorrow and spend more time!

Cherry Martini

This is Day 14 of Leslie Saeta's Painting Challenge.  It is 10 p.m. for me and I just finished the painting.  We were babysitting our 3 year old Granddaughter today and only got a chance to finish the painting once she went to bed.  I am so tired, those 3 year olds never run out of energy!  I could use a martini myself about now!

Refelctions of Cherries

It is Friday the 13th today and day 13 of Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30.  I was happy with this painting.  I think I will do a bit of glazing once it dries to give it some more depth.  I love painting this type of tablecloth, gives it some interest.

You Can't Fit in Here

Day 12 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  I find it is getting easier to keep up.  I guess I am getting more scheduled.  I am not thrilled with the apples in this painting but I do love the way the small bowl turned out.

Tomatoe on Glass

Oil on Canvas

 

Day 11 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  I have used the Canadian spelling for tomatoe.  I thought this would be an easy one but I had a bit of trouble with the glass.  I look doing glass on a darker background, I think it is easier with more contrast.

Hide 'n Seek

This is painting number 10 for Leslie Saeta's daily painting challenge.  We are one third of the way there.  This is a small antique cheese box with the Avocado halves hiding from each other.

Day 9 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  I found this Fire King mug and creamer in some of the storage boxes I cleaned out.  When we were at the antique show on the weekend people were buying the Fire King like crazy.  The mugs styled like the one above were going for $40 each.  I think I will hold on to ours.
