Who da Momma?

"Who da Momma?" 6x6" Oil on gessobord

I haven't painted a not-so-still life in the past couple weeks and was searching for subject matter, when my husband...who loves to grocery shop...steps in the door toting this gorgeous juicy tomato. She was donned in a long twisting stem resembling a witches hat. I was not about to let that red beauty get diced up into a taco salad or gazpacho, until I had a chance to paint her. So I placed her in the fridge to chill.

A couple days later, I discovered she had adopted a trio of abandoned young grapes looking for a place for trouble to happen. Momma-mato gathered them into a green cluster and bribed them to sit still long enough for this first family portrait. She later rewarded their good behavior with a trip to the local Hydrator Roller Rink. Oh, the things that go on in my house!

Thanks for viewing my painting.

Garden Pile Up

"Garden Pile Up" 6x6" oil on canvas panel



I've been stuck on the subject of food lately, as you can always tell when I'm trying to drop a few. Why is it whenever I try not to think of food, that's all I seem to be able to think about? However, here are some very colorful low-fat companions I came across while foraging around in my veggie bin. They were all piled up waiting to be sliced and diced into a nutritious soup. The trouble is dining on hot veggie soup will be miserable in all this summer heat, so I'll probably have to chase it down with something cold...like a little Blue Bell French Vanilla topped off with a smidgen of Hershey's chocolate syrup and well, maybe just a few chopped pecans. I'll skip the whipped cream after all I am dieting. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
