5x5 watercolor

Decided to do another quilt painting, not sure if I like it yet ?I think the flowers are too close to the quilt colors,the quilt is an antique I bought in South Carolina a few years back, the flowers are from my garden, the wicker chair I just bought for $ 5.00 at a garage sale. It takes a lot of prop to do a still life ,I am always looking for things .I probably will paint this quilt again with different flowers.

A few weeks ago I made this quilt, red being my favorite color , I had fun doing it.Today I decided to use it in one of my still life , quilts have been a big part of my paintings when I paint for a possible greeting card design, most of the time I had also made the quilt, people like them as they are comforting, who does not remember a quilt a grand mother had made, it's also a great craft ,mine are very simple ,I have gone to quilt shows and I am so impress with the work that goes into them ,much more than me painting them, this watercolor is available Email me

Fresh strawberries

Went to an interesting meeting this morning with the Pastel Society of NH , met lots of new talented artist . Had lunch with my friend Sue at an Irish pub, came home to finish my daily painting. I don't know how I was able, because my dog just about drove me crazy, with the nice weather and everyone walking by, he wanted to go out on the deck every five minutes, up down loose my brushes, phone ringing etc...he is a nice dog but a bit spoiled, only 18 months old . I wanted to take the photo outside before dark ,because I don't like to use the flash. Anyway here are the results ,and a glass of wine! enjoy

Antiques
The cold has arrived in this part of the country! Perfect day to stay warm and work on some of my still life paintings. Except for my dog Clancy who wants to go out every five minutes and get the studio cold, he doesn't get it!

Oh well he is a great companion but a bit spoiled.

I took this picture at an Antique show in the fall ,I just loved how the light shined on the pitcher,I had fun painting it . I have done many still life paintings over the years , but mostly watercolors, many have been published in cards and magazines.
