            With all the grey, rainy weather lately, it’s a relief to be working on something colorful. Pears are fun to paint for their rounded shapes and their diverse colors. I love also how they can lean on one another helping each to stand steady, much like good friends. This week and every week, I am so grateful for the support of my friends. When things get scary, I know I can lean on them to help me stand steady. 

            A round of applause for good friends and Happy Weekend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

             It’s grey and brown outside now and I long for the colors that were just here the other day – the reds, yellows, and greens decorating my backyard and neighborhood. So, I paint pears the colors of autumn, to remember the joy of bright colors in spite of the cold grey of winter. 

            Happy Weekend!

             I’m normally a landscape artist but I have to admit I love painting still lifes on occasion. Sometimes it’s simply because I love painting with warm colors like these on a cold, grey, winter day.

What many non-artists don’t realize is that the challenges for still-life artists begin before they even start painting, with the choice of objects and how they will be arranged and lighted. I have tremendous respect for these artists, having watched some of the best ones, arranging and rearranging a set-up until it almost magically comes together in a beautiful design.

Happy Weekend!
