"Freshly Picked"    oil    16"x20"
Still studying the prismatic palette and the way North light flows over objects and creates this mood that I can not find elsewhere! I focused on where the light was falling and tried to let the other petals and objects go off into shadow. It is sometimes hard not to paint every item but I believe leaving things "unsaid" is more powerful.
Commissioned Work
I don't usually include the framing with the painting image but the client picked out such a fabulous frame, it really enhances the painting. This painting is 24" x 36."  I really tried to work on the spectrum of light, the lower blue sky is really that wonderful light blue green color, although I could not get a great color image of this piece.  It will be shipped off to Canada soon!
