In Love with Olives, Caper Berries, Mandarins, and Figs

Fig Half, 6"x6" Oil on Linen Panel

It must be the seductive colors, their powerful aromas, or their visual textures that have drawn me to paint these items. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed painting them and look forward to studying them further.

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD  Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love.

Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time.

That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations.
