Salsa

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

20x20

Purchase Information

Though summer has ended, autumn has still not taken hold of central Texas.  My garden continues to produce tomatoes and peppers of all kinds.  Also, my little potted lemon tree is, in reality, a lime tree.  What better way to celebrate the vibrant flavors of this produce than to make salsa?

Lazy Susan - Fruit #2

Lazy Susan

24-inch Diameter

Commission

Here is a second lazy Susan--commissioned by the same client.  It was quite a learning experience, but so worth the effort!  I know what I'll be doing for Christmas presents this year....

ACEO/Art Card #4 - "Ketchup Squeeze Bottle"

Acrylic on Bristol Series 300

with Art Frame Card and Envelope

2.5 x 3.5

Available

When I see a ketchup squeeze bottle, I think of picnics, barbecues, and diners.  I never eat ketchup, though, on my fries--malt vinegar is more my style.  Yet, these bottles are a piece of culinary Americana, regardless of taste preferences.  (Of course, a ketchup squeeze bottle is always accompanied by a _______ squeeze bottle.  Guess the subject of tomorrow's miniature painting....)

Tomato

Oil on Canvas Panel, 6x6 -- Commission


Here is painting number 3 in a five-painting commissioned series.  How I dearly miss tomatoes from my own garden!  Still, this model served me well.  With a little sea salt, it was a juicy snack.

Canning Jars - Final

Oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, 20x20

I have finally completed my canning jar painting!  I hope you've enjoyed the progress pictures I periodically uploaded to this site.  It can be fascinating to see the evolution of a piece of art.

This painting is one of six that will travel to Dallas next week for a two-month Artists of Texas gallery show.  I'm looking forward to meeting some of my colleagues from the great country, er, state of Texas and hope to introduce my work to many art enthusiasts from the Dallas area.  I'll send more details about the locale, dates, and times in a post next week.

Thank you for your patience regarding this painting.  I hope it was worth the wait!

Canning Jars - Day 6 - In Progress

Oil on canvas, 20x20--In Progress

A-L-M-O-S-T there!

Canning Jars - Day 5 - In Progress

Oil on canvas, 20x20 -- In Progress

After a bit of a hiatus (e.g., a sick puppy, lack of motivation, family  commitments), I finally picked up a paintbrush today.  I'm attempting to give the fruits and veggies more depth.  I've changed the angle of light as well.  Highlights are still a couple of days away....



Canning Jars - Progress - Day 4

The baby corn has been delivered! Lots more work is necessary, but you get the idea. The lids had some color and detail as well. Background and shadows as well as highlights and details for each jar are still necessary. Time to walk away--too much fussing right now will "muddy" my work.

Canning Jars - Progress - Day 3

More details are beginning to appear. I'm playing with the background. (Longtime followers know the agony I experience with this part of the process!) Still need to tackle those lids and the baby corn....

Canning Jars - Progress - Day 2

The "innards" of the jars are starting to form (from left to right): pickles, peaches, plum jam, tomatoes, and baby corn. My angles/spheres look a bit off. Corrections are forthcoming....

Sliced and Salted
