Washed

Just finished: "Washed" 12" x 6" oil on canvas: Sold



This is the second Granny Smith Apple painting finished. It's of three apples that have been washed and are sitting on a kitchen towel waiting for the next part of their journey to pie.



The paintings have been slow going as I've been doing custom work in between. It's a nice project to return to when I have an hour to spare.



There is something homey about kitchen towels for me. I suppose we each have a memory or a place in our home that feels comforting. For me it's the kitchen. When I want to unwind I do some project in the kitchen no matter how mundane. Fixing dinner can be very relaxing to me.

These will all be nice individually or as several small groupings, or even as a large grouping. Green is a calming color.

Ode To Granny Smith



Just Finished: Yet unnamed green apple and tea towl 4" x 4" oil on canvas.

I'm doing a small series of 6 paintings featuring green Granny Smith apples. I found when I started working with them I couldn't make up my mind which pose to paint so I'll paint a bunch of them! :)

This tiny treasure is available on e-bay. Click here to go to the auction. This painting is even better in person.
