Fried Eggs

"Fried Eggs"

10" x 10" oil on panel

This is part of my egg series.  I love a good 

breakfast in the morning and the sunny

color of egg yolks against the black

of the skillet is appealing.

Grapes

"Grapes"

10" x 6" oil on panel

I love eating fresh produce during the late summer. 

My friend, Natacha plucked these from her garden. 

They were so sweet and succulent that I wanted 

to remember them.

I couldn't find a straight pin to fasten them to

the wall so I used a safety pin. I was going to edit

it out but I thought it added character 

to the painting.  

Eggs In A Blue Bowl

"Eggs In A Blue Bowl"

10" x 10" oil on panel

Another painting in my "egg" series.  In this series

I am learning about value steps. The degree

of darkness between the light areas of an egg 

and shadow side are very subtle.

Eggs In A Basket

"Eggs In A Basket"

12" x 12" oil on panel

I photographed these eggs while shooting pictures in a friend's 

garden. He had chickens who laid eggs that were multi-colored.

I simply  had to paint the beautiful soft colors.
