It was raining so, I had to paint inside today. My dog, Zoe, made sure to stay close while I was painting. I guess she didn't trust me with her favorite toy.

This painting is my first attempt at painting outdoors. It was a beautiful morning so I collected all my paint supplies and headed to the backyard. It's amazing how wonderful colors look in real sunlight. I just chose a simple subject, but something I have never painted before...a ball. And not just any ball, this is my dog Zoe's birthday ball. She loves to "Get the ball!"

We were doing a little spring cleaning this weekend and I found this bowl in the basement. I totally forgot we had it. It had only been missing for 10 years! I need to do some more searching in the basement…who knows what I’ll find! :)

Room For One

There was room for only one orange in the bowl. The others will just have to wait their turn.

I really want to go to a painting workshop this year, but I can't decide which one I want to go to!

Heirloom Tomato

Available in my Etsy shop.

I always love the organic shape of heirlooom tomatoes. They are almost kind-of disgusting looking, but cute!

Love Letter

4"x4", oil on gessoboard

Available on ebay.

Some days my still life painting just doesn't work out. So, instead of wiping it, I thought I would just make an abstract out of it. Last week I was painting a love letter in a bottle and it was not working for me. I was loving the colors, so I started making the objects into shapes and this is what I came up with.

Putting Out Fires

6"x6", acrylic on gessoboard

Available in my Etsy shop.

My son was on spring break last week, so this was the first painting I had time for in quite a few days. It seemed like with every new stroke I made I had to fix something else. Putting out one fire after another. I feel like it's maybe overworked, but I do like the colors! That made me happy.

Asparagus on the Side

Yummy asparagus. I love the greens and hints a lavender you find in asparagus.

This little bottle of nail polish wants to be a bottle of perfume. It's a little bottle of Revlon's Parfumerie nail polish. Yes, it is scented!
