Ketchup and Salt

Another little still life, 12 x 12". 5 hrs altogether.  It was based on a photo I took at our table at a local diner recently. I could've done more work on this, but I liked it how it stands. I learned quite a bit this time. this is the first time I've tried glass objects, and all the colors in the white areas. It was a fun painting!

"On The Road" Sign Paintings

Set of 3 travel signs based on photos of desert & Rt 66 signs. Each is 10" square on stretched canvas with the sides painted black. Took me forever to finish these due to procrastination...:) 

Can't wait to start on something new. I have 3 blank 18 x 24" canvases staring at me in the living room waiting for me to decide what to paint on them. Trees, Dolphins, Pottery, Beach....too many choices. I like doing big triptychs that you can hang over the sofa.
