"Splendor in the Glass"

"Splendor in the Glass" 6x6" Oil on Canvas Panel
Click to Purchase
What a bully! Momma mango roller is at it again, crushing down the last green tree in the neighborhood to make room for yet another highway headed somewhere. Progress they call it! What a shame, and just as this comfortable citrus couple, lime and orange, were settling down to enjoy a quiet picnic under the cool shade of the canopy. 


My seven-year-old grandson and I had a great time painting from this still life we set up yesterday. While in a panic to prevent an obvious tragedy, I tensed up and painted a bit tighter than I like. To me, less is always more...the fewer brush strokes the better. I guess I just got carried away trying to rescue these near-casualty victims from ultimate destruction. Whew, that was a close call!  

Thanks for viewing my painting!

"Days of Wine and Limes"

"Days of Wine and Limes" 6x6" oil on museum quality canvas panel
 
She's a fake! Faux Days of Wine and Roses would have been a better fit for this title. I needed a real rose but my rose bushes are sans buds...still rebounding from multiple amputations...so I made due with the sole surviving camellia. Then to be honest, the red liquid in the carafe is not really wine but rather cranberry juice. I always hate to see a good glass of wine go to waste, especially under hot studio lights. So, if I would have used real wine, I'd have felt guilty and probably started taking little sips here and there, which would have led to bigger sips here and there...after which there's no telling who'd have end up on first?  

Thank you for viewing my painting.

"Eggplant Without Parmesan"

"Eggplant Without Parmesan" 6x6" oil on canvas panel


Resembling a huge beached whale that split from the pod, this lazy eggplant rests alongside the shore blocking icy-cold combers of foamy surf from crashing into a salty shaker and a couple of local beach rollers. Shivering in the March breeze...clad only in their skins...these bright summery spirits take on the glow of an unseasonably sunny day in the Gulf. These colors just make me feel happy.

Thank you for viewing my painting.  - nancy

"Stroll Around Central Park"

"Stroll Around Central Park" 8x6" oil on canvas panel

I am sure there isn't any grass in Central Park right now, probably all covered in dirty slushy snow. But in my Central Park, spring is in bloom and activity abounds. 

Thank you for viewing my painting.
