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.

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.
