Cherry Tomato Basket

Oil Painting Vegetable Still Life Fall Garden

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

I gathered some of the last of my neighbors' cherry tomatoes in one of my little baskets.  They just needed the right lighting to show themselves gathered together after they were picked.  The basket's shadow made a lovely pattern on the table.

Grey Pony

Oil Painting Welsh Pet Art Western Horse Ride Saddle

Oil on Canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

I admired the lovely markings and friendly face of this pony who was doing her duty giving kids a ride at a festival. She was decked out in a bright purple halter, lead rope and saddle blanket. She also had some blonde and rusty shades mixed in with the grey hairs of her thick mane which I tried to capture faithfully. I guess just because I found them attractive!

The 3/4" sides are painted so framing is optional!

Turban Squash

Oil Painting Vegetable Still Life Fall Garden

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10".

Some of my favorite colors of autumn are mixed together in turban squash and its bumpy shapes. The light of the afternoon sun made fun lights and shadows.

Cherries and Light

Oil Still Life Painting Organic Fruit Kitchen Art

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8"

I used only a few ingredients in making this painting - bright sunlight, a white bowl and a few cherries.  The shapes of the cherries' shadows became another visual ingredient to be enjoyed too.  The dark red cherries glow a brighter red in the light and colors bounce around in the mix with the bowl.  I like to bake tasty things, but painting the ingredients is more fun and rewarding.  And the result lasts longer.
