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 : )

Cherry Season

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.

21. Satsuma Mandarin II

Satsuma Mandarin II

7 x 5 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

Another lovely mandarin from the grocery store. I don't think I would ever

tire of painting these beautiful little fruits with their graceful leaves.

I'm really happy with how the oranges in the mandarin pop against this 

color background, I'm thinking some lemons would look great with this

background color also.

20. Satsuma Mandarin I

Satsuma Mandarin I

5 x 7 Inches

Oil on Gesso Board

I'm always happy to see fruit at the grocery store with stems and

leaves still attached. There was quite a selection to choose from 

and on the plus side, my son happens to love these mandarins so 

it's ok if I purchase more than a few to try out!
