Clementines 8 x 10 on panel

I really enjoyed painting this smaller size of a painting. The black bowl is a pot that I threw on the wheel last fall in my pottery class. I decided if I couldn't find the object I wanted to buy I would throw it on the wheel and create it myself. In the spring I plan on probably taking another wheel class to create more bowls and plates to put in my paintings.

Tea Time 11 x 14 on Panel

I wanted to use an antique teapot along with cup and saucer with patterns on them, instead of plain objects to make the painting more detailed. This painting for some reason was really hard to photograph. It has taken me two weekends to get a decent result.

Black Bowl with Gold Vase 12 x 16 on panel

This painting is a continuation of the Gold Vase with Bittersweet. I really like how that painting turned out so decided to add the gold vase again while adding a few more objects to the still life. This painting will be available at the upcoming Trinity School Show in February.

Christmas Bowl 6 x 6 on Panel

Last year I painted this during art class, but had already sent out my Christmas cards. Then this year I was going to have cards printed up with my painting, but ran out of time. Therefore I am just going to post this painting and hopefully next year I will have time to paint a Christmas theme and have it printed.

Solitude 20 x 16 on Panel

After everything that happened to the financial world in October and now all I wanted was Solitude away from the news and talk radio. I started painting this a few weeks ago, but then got interrupted by painting a baby room mural for my youngest brother and his wife so now I finally have finished it. I had decided the name of this painting weeks ago and since then have heard this word used so many times. Last week mom and I went to see Neil Diamond for her birthday. He of course sang, "Solitary Man," and did a fantastic job. Once I heard that I knew I was keeping the title of this painting.
