STILL LIFE  Fruit Assortment with Papaya  8x10

Still a beginner in the painting world, I'm not ready to tackle the plein-air approach. At least fruit will just lay there and not move around too much! It remains a challenge to capture the lighting in various phases and render the integrity of the forms and shapes.

STILL LIFE  NASTURTIUMS   14x18

Flowers are not an easy thing for a beginning painter. I love the nasturtiums growing in my yard, but to portray them on canvas was a whole different matter! These are a bit bigger-than-life, but the color harmonies are pleasing and remind us of God's creative power.
