"Teacup and Comfort"

oil, 8x10

I set this still life up and painted it from life. My sister-in-law gave me

this beautiful teacup along with many more that I plan on painting.

I used the plant to add direction with the leaves to encircle the teacup

leading to the book. The teacups shadow also keeps it in the circle. The plant

and book seem to be comforting the teacup just like those

that love you.

Vintage Iron

oil, 8x10"

My brother gave me this Sunbeam iron that was from the 50's.

He is a collector of antiques and vintage stuff, which I am

also fond of. I am sure it still works, haven't tried it yet,

just caught my attention to paint it. I love the shiny metal, black

handle and old cord.

Yesterday is gone but memories still exist.

Pink Pansies

These beautiful pansies were on my deck with back lit lighting

casting these wonderful shadows.
