Dogs and Cat

6x8" oil on masonite
My dogwood is past now, so this is the last of these. This is my favorite old pitcher, the cat is the handle. Speaking of Dogs...lots of cookouts this weekend, lots of inspiration, cant wait to get at it.

Orange Cream

OK not totally back up and running but getting there. Check out my new 'links' list and I started another blog...Deb's Studio...which is where I'll post other things besides my daily paintings (like bigger works,stuff for shows,experiments etc) SO this blog will be just for my daily paintings since I have just become a member of the "Daily Painters"(see widget on right) and they take my post from here and post it in their gallery. :-) One of these days I'll get paypal up or start an auction ...gosh, sooo much to do... and summer vacation is looming! One of my favorite things about all this blogging is the sharing and community of artists out there- everywhere and yet in my kitchen everyday. How cool is that?? Havent had that since my RISD days. so thanks to all those artists out there who stop by share!!

ironstone

6x6 oil on masonite
I have a bunch of these ironstone pitchers. This is one of the biggest, usually I use it for tulips. I'm thinking a series would be good until I get one I really like..or not. Painting white china is a challenge. At RISD we would paint all white still lifes alot (or all green -yuck) Its a good exercise. ...course I cant resist throwing in some saturated color...especially since its soo grim outside.

Back to Harbor

8by10 oil on masonite Took the weekend off from my daily posting. First nice day in a while on saturday so did 5 hours of yard/garden cleanup. Going by the Yacht club on Sunday the Frostbiters were on their way back in, I took a bunch of shots. I'll try one of these again until I'm really happy with the results. This one is not quite done.

6by8 oil on masonite Did this little one over the weekend. The flowers are called Snowdrops. They are little white bulbs that are usually the first to come out, even earlier than crocuses, hence the name. Not sure of the latin. I love them and this tiny little blue pitcher. Busy week this week. Not sure if I'll get a daily done everyday but I'll try.
