Canoeing the Boundary Waters

Once upon a time when we were in our 20s we took a wonderful trip to the boundary waters between Minnesota and Canada.  This painting was inspired by that time we spent so far away from civilization in such a quiet place.... we finally decided that we would throw back any fish that wasn't 12 inches long, we were catching so many!

Turkish Figs in Conversation

We are still working small in my adult class.  Today's subject, Turkish Figs.  Don't they kind of look like they are in conversation?

Once upon a time a friend had a friend who brought his fig tree cuttings from the old country.  He spread them around to friends and years passed and one of those friends gifted me with a cutting.  10 years later our fig tree is going strong.  We painted these today and then shared the fresh figs with my class who all had only experienced figs by having them in fig newton form.  The fresh ones are a tasty delight.  This one is on auction this week w the starting bid of $43 and FREE shipping.  I also have a painting that starts at $33 this week.  If you can find it on my ebay gallery site, it could be yours.  Decided to put a few lower priced things on this week just for fun.  Adding some new ones each day.

I have a painting that was just posted on ebay which has a starting bid of $33 w no reserve.  It is a little different for me and was featured in a recent show of paintings and poems that my husband and I presented last year.  See if you can find it on my ebay gallery auction.  Look for something grey with a splash of red.

6x6 Kitchen Paintings on Ebay this week

I am working on a series of little kitchen paintings this summer.  My students are glad to work on a few paintings that are finishable in one session.  I am making them work fast because their subjects just won't last so they simply must throw caution to the wind and jump in.  They are all on my ebay site on auction today... at least the ones that I have finished.  They are all 6x6 and have a starting bid at or below $60 with no reserve.  If you are interested in a whole series, let me know and I will get you a good price on a set.... name your veggie or fruit and I would be happy to work on some commissioned pieces for you as well.
