Fresh From the Garden

 

 

Painted for DPW's Veggie Challenge.

These are a few of my picks from the local farmers market:

turnips, grape tomatoes, ruby red Swiss chard. 

For my painting setup I accented them

with my bottle of Balsamic Vinegar for extra interest.

This was a fun challenge and  besides,

every kitchen needs a painting.

Ram

 

Painted for DPW's "Sheep-ish" challenge

from a photo Carol Marine provided.

I like the way the sheep's face seems to be floating

out of his abundant wool.

A neighboring ranch has some sheep

and I have seen them before shearing

where they seem to be huge balls of fluff on feet.

Bird on a Twig

 

 

​It's late summer, the leaves are turning

and the Queen Anne's Lace dots the field of yellow grasses;

and this bird seems to be contemplating his journey south

as he perches atop a twig.

Flower Fields

 

 

While traveling last summer,

I came across an old lavender field,

that was mostly overgrown

and dotted with other volunteer flowers.

A young mom and her daughter

were picking bouquets.

While their dog busied himself

chasing enticing scents.

Some photos I took

were the inspiration for this work.

Geraniums in a Tin Pitcher

 

 

​Scarlet geraniums

in a white tin pitcher look lovely

against a bright blue wall.

Sailing the Milky Way

 

 

​A sailboat sails under the night sky,

filled with the stars of the Milky Way,

carried along by the soft sea breezes.
