fig 6x6

The fig tree at school is bearing fruit.

honey #3 5x7

My wife bought this the other day. It's pretty cool that it still has part of the comb in it. The jar is a nice shape too.
Sold

peach #2 6x6

I picked this up at school yesterday. I like it when peaches have leaves on them.
Sold

sunflower #3 5x7

I'm not sure why I've painted sunflowers so infrequently. This time of year they are all over the place. I think part of the reason is that they're so big that I don't have the right sized vases to put them in.
Sold

Mark 10x8

My friend Mark came up from Southern California and I managed to get him to sit for me. He was looking down reading a book. He looks kind of angry but I think he's just concentrating. The red on the left is the ground. Most of my portrait studies are done on glue sized card stock and I like to tint the sizing with red acrylic paint.

Castle Peak #2 12x9

This picture is a bit blurry. If I can, I'll post a better one tomorrow.

sprouting potato 5x7

Sold

hay bales #2 10x8

I drove around for quite a while before finding any hay bales that I could park near and approach. I was going to try to do a couple of paintings but it ended up being very hot today.

Grouse Slab 8x6

Grouse Slabs is one of many fine climbing crags at Donner Summit.

Donner Peak 10x8

I went climbing with some friends at Donner Summit today. It was beautiful and very clear with none of the recent smoke in evidence.

Cheez-Its #2 7x5

Sold

green bell #3 7x5

One of our neighbors gave us a sack full of fresh vegetables from their garden. This bell pepper was among them.
Sold

ladle #2 5x7

cherries #5 5x7

Here's a healthier snack. I'm pretty much addicted to cherries as long as the price is around $2.50 a pound.
Sold

ruffles #2 7x5

At long last, more junk food.

screwdriver #3 5x7

Today was one of those days where I could have been happy painting anything. The world just seemed full of possibilities. I chose to stay close to home and do this screwdriver.

3 hammers 12x6

Sold

hammer #4 5x7

I have been a little busy lately and unable to make it outside. I still have lots of ideas that I want to try, landscape-wise, but I think a bit of a break will nice. It's nice to come back to still-lifes every now and then. There is a different kind of looking involved.
