Every Friday we have a model come and pose for us, for a long pose - 3 hours at the Columbia Center for the Arts. It is a great opportunity to work from life, and to develop a community of artists.

Big Red - sold
I had to try my hand at a bell pepper. Edward Weston had no idea what he started. They are beautiful subjects to paint. So sculptural.

Tomato and Demitasse - SOLD
More ways to paint a tomato. This is tomato #5. One more to go. I bought a bunch of fabric napkins of different patterns and solid colors that I am using under my still life arrangements. The stripes were fun. I will use them more in the future. The different fabrics add a challenge and interest. I love demitasse cups! No it isn't a giant tomato!

Hot Sauce - SOLD
Cholula Hot Sauce! This is a fun bottle to paint. I had problems taking the photo though. I couldn't seem to get the glare off of the painting. It seemed like it took as long to take the photo as it did to do the painting. The background looks grainy in the photo but not in person. Red is fun to paint.

More Limes - SOLD
I saw Carol Marine's key limes painting, and I was running out the door to get to my Oil Painting Basics class that I teach every quarter for Community Education. And I needed some Still Life props. I dashed into the grocery on the way to the class, and because of Carol's inspiration, I grabbed a package of the little key limes. Easy to transport to the class... don't bruise easily... lots of them in the package for everyone to have their own limes to paint... and the class loved painting the limes! And so did I.

Limited Palette
I was reading the book, "Classical Painting Atelier" by Juliette Aristides, about use of a limited palette. So I did this painting only using Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre and White. There is alot to be said for using a limited palette every once in a while. I took a workshop from Juliette Aristides on Bainbridge Island a few years ago. She is an excellent instructor. I highly recommend her book.
