Updates Forthcoming

I've been out of the daily sales business this week to work on some other projects. I've listed some of the recent holiday work on Etsy and will be updating sales links below. I'll be back with some small dailies again soon.

Here's a tiny fragment from the painting sketchbook, of a little something I'm working on, starring Nicole's superbly whimsical "Woodsy Ghosts". Hi Nicole!

"Love Snack"

The box for these cakes actually does say they are a "snack". Any reference to the B-52's was built upon that basis.

"Black Heart And Rose"

 
 
 
5" x 7" oil on archival canvas panel
 
My first one for February. I feel pretty good about it, despite its simplicity. January was pretty much a dead month and things aren't going so great here at the moment, so it felt good to get back to a familiar subject. I actually hadn't planned on doing anything with plums again so soon, but at the store the other day the lady of the house picked up a "black plum" at random and - mirable dictu! - it was shaped almost exactly like a heart. Pointiest plum I've ever seen. Ten steps further and we found a display of "Pacific Rose" apples. I put the color combination and the names together in my head and thus, we have our painting, with its Fake But Accurate title.
