Evening Pines

"Evening Pines"
8" x 6"
Oil on hardboard

As the sun sank, the sky turned one of those food colors. You know — salmon, melon, mango, peach. It was a handsome backdrop for the lacy pines in my neighborhood. 

This little painting was done on a pretty textured panel. It looks good in person, but not fab in the photo.

Melon Seeds

"Melon Seeds"
8" x 10"
Oil on canvas panel

I had waited to slice into the melon until my background was dry.  Then I'd cut it open, and paint whatever I found.  What I found was melon balls in a glass bowl in my refrigerator! My daughter made a delicious dessert from subject matter.  


Round two.  I made the slice, and pulled the seeds from the cavity. One seed stuck, but one seed, one slice, one background was not a good idea.  So I slid two more seeds onto the left side, just as they had landed on another slice and painted it.
