Plum, Fig, and Grapes

     It took me quite a while to finish this one and I had totally given up on it at one point.  The problem is that it often takes me several sittings to complete a painting and the objects sometimes deteriorate before I'm finished. This happened to me with a painting of pink tulips I've been working on recently. This painting is     6 x 8 inches and is painted in oil on a masonite panel.

Two Figs

I finished this a few hours ago.  4 x 6 inches on a hardboard panel.

3 Pears with a Purple Drape

I've been working on this for about a week or so.  It's 12 x 18.  It's painted in oil on a gallery wrapped canvas.

Salvia

I started this painting of home grown Salvia last Fall and finished it just a few days ago.  About 2 days after finishing I sold to a nice couple who stopped by to visit my studio.  It's painted on an 8 x 10 canvas in oil.

Grapes on a Pedestal

This is another still life that I finished recently.  It's 8 x 10 on canvas and painted in oil.  100% of the proceeds from the sale of this painting will go to the Red Cross to help those left in need after hurricane Sandy. To bid in this auction please follow the link on the top right to my Dailypaintworks gallery.

Red Pear with Purple Drape

This is a study for a larger still life I'm working on.  It's 5 x 6 inches and is painted in oil on a canvas hardboard panel.

Barn on Turkey Hill Rd

I've been painting quite a bit recently but I've fallen behind on photographing my work. I did this painting last Monday at the intersection of Turkey Hill Rd and Stevens.  I went out painting with a local group called the Fair Weather Painters.  I had a blast!  I hadn't done a plein air painting since Bill Hawk's painting class at Washington U.
