Two beautiful doe skulls, and a metallic border. The colors are so muted but somehow the composition makes it all so vivid!

Cherries and Creamer

5"x7"
sold

Remember this adorable creamer? The last time you saw it, it had hyacinths in it. So that was a while ago. It came out beautifully here though, I just had to remember to be very disciplined about my use of white!

Coming back inside for a few still life dailies. Cherries are always wonderful fun to paint, and I found some beautiful ones.

The Bird and the Fish In Love

16"x20"

A bird may love a fish, but where would they live? Obviously, they'd both get super useful helmets and trade off in each other's worlds.

Junebug


sold

Obviously I painted this little critter MUCH larger than life! I held them up a couple inches from my eyes and just..... worked over and out.... it gives the whole painted bug a really cool, mobile quality I think. And I never really know what something looks like until I've painted it, so it's always a cool experience with something new!
