Scream, Hawaiian Orchid, Start to Finish - sold

I didn't think up painting cosmetic still lifes, lots of people do them, but they are very fun to paint! And the names of the colors, you can't make names like that up!

Little CrabApples - sold

These apples are from a friend's tree. I think that's the only way you get the leaves with the apples. They are some really small variety of apple. They were a challenge to paint, because the red is so deep, it's almost wine colored.

Two Pears - SOLD

This painting is a demo from a class that I taught today. I liked the way it turned out, with the minimum of brush strokes to define the form. I was trying to count the brushstrokes, a max of 20 brushstrokes per form.
