"Juicy Fruits"

6 x 8 inches

oil on wooden panel

I spotted these little delights at a local specialty shop. I bought several more to paint as well . . . these were delicious! And I admit, I purchased everything else in the painting, including the silver tray - with the wonderful reflections, because I wanted to paint them as well!

"Bing Cherries"

7 x 6.5"

oil on gessoed museum board

This little glass dish belonged to my grandmother. It appears in several of my cherry paintings. I enjoy painting the shadow it casts as much as the glass itself, and I always like painting the many colors in cherries. When the stems are still attached, well that is the best! 

"Orange With Lemon"

8 x 8"

oil on gessoed museum board

I find blue and yellow so cheerful together. After being given some wonderful lemons, this painting was a natural. I added several orange slices for color. The colors reflected in the deep blue of the tea pot and cup are always exciting to capture in paint.

"Early Cherries"

5.75 x 8"

oil on wood panel

I always enjoy painting shapes that catch reflections. It is the changing colors in the forms that capture me.
