Oh yes, I'm afraid it's true. Much like one bite of a doughnut leads to another, one painting of a doughnut apparently leads to another...

A "moodier" version of the last still life. I love moody, mysterious still lifes.

No. 575 Tulips on a Fence
Tulips on a Fence
Oil on Linen Panel
7" x 5"
My husband replaced some boards on our twenty plus year old fence the other day. It occurred to me that those nicely aged pieces of wood might make an interesting surface to set up still lifes on. It didn't take too much arm twisting to convince him to let me keep a few. When I found them stacked next to the recycle bin I thought he had forgotten my request. A little disappointed, I grab a few and took them inside only to find a couple hours later several pieces he had neatly stacked in the studio/shed.

No. 574 The Tulips are In!
First Tulip Bouquet
Oil on Linen Panel
7" x 5"
How exciting! The tulips are in at Central Market. Since I started daily painting, February has transformed. It used to be a cold, dark month to endure. Now it's a bright, colorful month to look forward to, all because of the humble tulip. Who am I kidding? Tulips are not humble at all.

I found these really lovely silk roses at Molbak's Nursery the other day. The cashier wrapped them carefully before handing them to me. It's all in the presentation, right?

No. 572 Lemon Bowl
Lemon Bowl
Oil on Gessobord
6" x 6"
After pears, and perhaps apples, grapes and mandarin oranges, lemons have to be the most popular fruit subject for still lifes. It's hard to pass up their sunny color and pleasant roundness.

No. 571 Ooey Gooey Apple Pie
Ooey Gooey Apple Pie
Oil on Linen Panel
5" x 7"
Okay, I couldn't resist painting another piece of pie. At least this time I was smart enough to buy just a slice. As you can see though, I'm having difficulty with my model keeping itself together.
