            When contemplating what title to give this painting, I couldn’t help but think of Greek myths involving apples. In particular, I thought of Paris taking on the foolhardy task of choosing the most beautiful goddess and handing a special apple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The apple he handed her promised immortality and anyone who ate it would never be hungry, thirsty, or ill. Then there’s the Celtic mythology that associates three apples (symbols of immortality, power, and prosperity) with the very important god, Lugh. So, whatever apples make you think of, I hope you enjoy these very cheerful and colorful apples.

            Happy Weekend!

Whenever we get close to celebrating Valentine’s Day, I have this urge to paint food. I especially love painting cupcakes because I have a great excuse to buy them; it always helps to paint from life (or at least that’s my excuse). I also love to paint them because the ones I love to eat are colorful and have all these interesting textures to capture.

Hope you had a sweet Valentine’s Day and have a Happy Weekend!

The colors I see whenever I visit the southwest always remind me of my childhood in southern Florida. In both places, you will find warm colored buildings, vivid flowering plants, and beautiful blue skies. It’s a wonderful combination to consider on a gray, cloudy winter’s day.

Happy Weekend!

            I am really hoping to be on this beach or actually any beach, this spring. I find that although I love the mountains, I find the beach is always more relaxing. There’s something about the sounds, scents, and sights of my childhood that always allows me to forget about the busyness and stress of work completely.

            Happy Weekend!
