"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves 

at the same time."

— Thomas Merton

In this not-so-still life, painted in plein air, my heliophobic orb  tried his best to avoid the sun's scorching rays. He quickly ducked behind the glass and bucket, where he hung out all afternoon on the shady side of the table totally unaware of his transparent cover. By the end of the day, despite massive coatings of SPF 50, he suffered a brutal Sunkist ... just look at that rind! What a shame ... now he's sure to peel! Stay tuned as the saga continues.

Thank you for peaking in to view my painting and for listening to this juicy tale of woe!

SOLD -"Love At First Bite"

"Love At First Bite" 6x6" oil on museum quality canvas panel

I am really happy with the way this one turned out, especially with the saturation of the colors. That strong reflection in the base of the spoon was for real!

A dear friend gave me the bright, shiny little valentine heart, so I have been trying to figure out how to include it in one of my not-so-still lifes. Nothing like putting your heart out there...a simple dose of love can certainly work wonders to heal the bites of life. Perhaps in the wake of all that Japan is suffering right now, we can all reach out a little further to those around us with compassion, forgiveness, understanding, patience and love. A little love goes a long way.

Next week, I will be again be participating in the "Painting Challenge" at Daily Paint Works http://www.dailypaintworks.com. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to Japan. 

Thank you for viewing my painting.  - nancy

Orange you glad it's not another "apple"? It was fun painting the runner on 1st base with half his body peeking through the glass. In hindsight, I should have used a blue pitcher instead of the glass. If you didn't hear, the Oranges took the Blues 3-4 in overtime.

Thanks for viewing my painting. - nancy
