These flowers are beginning to feel like old friends. I really planned to paint one of the large plates today but life got in the way. Actually, with spring here it's hard to steal time away from the weeds. We shall see.

It's interesting that painting the same subject from a different vantage point is like never having seen it before.

I'll really miss these guys when they're gone.

You would think that the more familiar one becomes with the subject the easier it would be to render. Maybe for some, but certainly not for me. This triple stem arrangement tormented me. I also struggled with having the background fabric be so bold but I just couldn't force myself to subdue it.

an exercise.... Something's Brewing

6x6" oil on masonite
last weekend I went to a gallery talk with a few local artists. They talked about their lives/careers/work etc etc. It was very interesting. Jim Kubiatowicz whose work I admire, was one of them and I was amazed to learn that his paintings are painted from his memory. Of course he observes constantly but when it comes to putting paint on canvas the image is coming from his mind. He told me to try it, to think of a place,a mood, a scene; then paint! So I tried it and it was a little scary at first but very fun. ( You can tell by the 'scrunchy' that my mind traveled way back...oh circa 1988)I'm definitely going to do more of it, dont know if any will make the blog, I wasnt even going to post this since it was just an exercise but I thought I'ld show what I am up to and maybe this will creep into my other work as well (that was all code for: its a cold rainy vacation week and Mom hasnt painted ANYTHING in a couple days :-) )

a work in progress---kids kove donation

6x8" oil on masonite
I was asked to make a donation to the Kids Kove Auction that is coming up in May. I'm working on this for it. Hopefully I'll finish it this week. So between that, the boys being home for vacation, making new panels,figuring out my camera and squeezing computer time in...not sure if I'll get to post any 'daily' paintings. But you never know....

"Side Bar", oil on masonite, 5x5"

click on image to bid

My painting day was short today. We had to deliver work for a show coming up in May. Just when you think you've endured it all you come up against something new. Two of my favorite paintings were sent back home with me because they didn't like the color of the frames. My large pieces are all framed exactly the same except the color. That I pick depending on the piece. Too weird for me.

8x10 oil on masonite
I painted this about a month ago after spending 13 hours at the SENECY swimmeet (H + T swam for a total of about 2 and a half min.!!) It was a long day, I got home grabbed my french easel and went down to the beach and did this in about 30 min before it got dark. I like it and felt so good after. Painting plein air - especially when it clicks - is good for the soul.

ironstone

6x6 oil on masonite
I have a bunch of these ironstone pitchers. This is one of the biggest, usually I use it for tulips. I'm thinking a series would be good until I get one I really like..or not. Painting white china is a challenge. At RISD we would paint all white still lifes alot (or all green -yuck) Its a good exercise. ...course I cant resist throwing in some saturated color...especially since its soo grim outside.

This is another of the "full size" floral/plate combos. This particular piece actually had fabric laminated to the canvas before the paint was laid in. I thought I was going to like doing that a lot but the fabric was a real challenge as far laying down paint. I'm not saying I won't do it again but it certainly won't be right away.

I confess, I've had some questions about all the artists that paint food. However, I realized how that can happen when I saw this serving bowl of peas. My family is from Southern stock. We take celebrations and the food that goes with them very serious. This was a happy vessel, depleted by our porkish ways. I don't know if you'll see any more food from me but I'm very happy with this.
