Cherry Lemon Sundrop #2

I did one on this subject matter a while ago and thought I would try it again using an old Sundrop bottle.  For those of you who aren't familiar with Sundrop, it is a wonderful caffeine filled soft drink that originated in my hometown... Concord, NC.  If you put cherry and lemon in it you get the classic drink!

Onions and Kettle

I admired a simple still life set up by Qiang Huang recently and decided to try to replicate the setup and see if I could do a good job.  Of course, my onions were a bit different but similar!  I enjoyed the simplicity of the setup and had a great time doing this.  Thanks to Qiang Huang for the inspiration.

Found this great easel for larger paintings.  Think the latest oil looks great on it.  This is a 12 x 12 inch format, original oil.  The grays and the peaches mix well I think.  For sale HERE

Paintings Look So Great When Framed Correctly

These two frames are among my favorites.  I wanted to show you what a difference a frame makes.  The cows are in a floater from King of Frames out of CA.  The still life is in a gold plein air with liner from  a local frame shop.  When buying original art, remember to spend the time and money on a good frame.  It is a wise investment.

Odd Man Out

This is an original oil 6 x 8 inch still life.  For sale when dry at my Etsy shop.  Enjoyed the simplicity of this painting and the beautiful corals against the blue.  My rescue dog, Archie, was a big help as he was sleeping under my feet the whole time I was painting...except for the million times I got up to let him out and in to chase a few birds and squirrels.
