28. My Close-up

"My Close-up"

6 x 6 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

Another find from Walter's home orchard. I was surprised at how long 

the leaves stayed "fresh" looking. The pear, unfortunately, was no longer

edible by the time I finished the painting!

27. Inside Out, Walter's Figs

"Inside Out, Walter's Figs"

6 x 6 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

I had to do one more rendition of the figs from Walter's home orchard. 

I couldn't resist rendering a version with a fig sliced in half, I just loved that shade of 

yellow green surrounding the inner part of the fruit. I still haven't tried one!

26. Figs From Walter's Orchard

Figs from Walter's Orchard

6 x 6 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

A friend of mine took me to her friend's home orchard, what a treasure trove of summer fruit for my paintings! I had my pick of peaches, plums, pears, limes, figs and nectarines to name a few. What a wonderful resource for me as it's impossible to find most fruit with any leaves or branches still attached. Those elements can add so much to the painting. I think figs are so beautiful but I've never actually eaten one except for some fig jam I tried once. I thought the jam had a really "gritty" texture to it and haven't tried a fig since then! However I do like fig newtons : )

These cherries from the grocery store were delicious. 

The size and colors of the cherries were so nice I set a few aside

for this painting. These were easy to eat but not so easy to paint!

22. Valley Views

Valley Views

9 x 12 Inches

Oil on Canvas Board

Thanks to El Nino the wildflowers in the foothills are abundant this year.

I thought I would try my hand at capturing this scene from a recent

drive in the foothills. I would have preferred to work in "plein aire" but 

working from a photograph will have to do this time.
