Oil on canvas panel. 6x6--View eBay Listing

First, I will need to rephotograph this painting again. The oils were still quite wet; hence, there are some glossy spots that look like white paint. Regardless, I love California rolls--especially with lots of wasabi. If I don't cry, then I haven't used enough!

Oyster with Lemon Wedges and Cocktail Sauce

Oil on stretched canvas, 20x20x1-3/8, View eBay Listing

I hope you will enjoy viewing this as much as I enjoyed painting it. Bon Appetit!

Chinese Take-Out with Mandarin Oranges

Oil on canvas panel, 8x6--SOLD

Oil on cradled panel, 6x6--Commission

Here it is--my attempt at bubbles and black glass reflections! This painting turned out to be much more difficult than expected. Nothing like experimenting with a paid commission! I'm looking forward to my fruits and veggies again....

In Progress--Oyster with Lemon

Oil on canvas, 20x20--In progress

Here is my LARGE painting of an oyster with lemons and cocktail sauce. Still needs a bit of work, but I am pleased with the overall composition. Obviously, I am working from a photo I took--the oyster certainly wouldn't be pleasant to smell at this point....
