For several months I have been thinking about doing Chairs again.
What better way to began than to repaint paint my favorite chair shape.
A painting of this chair was the first piece I sold after moving from Tampa and getting married.
I also painted it very small and then twice in the digital Painter program. (one of the digital pieces was a surreal collage)
This one is painted on an 11x14 gallery wrap canvas.

SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA
SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA
Where I grew up in the South, almost every home had a print from a painting of Magnolias. This is like a visit to my childhood.
I painted the Magnolia from a photo I took around twelve years ago. I have used it in two other paintings but this is the first time I have used it as the focus.
I painted on an orange toned 140lb watercolor paper.
PEARS IN MOTION
PEARS IN MOTION
This piece was started in class as a demo on how to get a subject onto the canvas I finished it while gallery sitting -
I had painted 3 pears in this bowl before
I liked setting it up to paint again!
KITCHEN ORCHID
THE KITCHEN ORCHID
The leaves on the new orchid were nice but the leaves on the old one were musical!
So, I took the top from one and the bottom of the other this is what makes paitning so GREAT!

APPLE IN A BLUE
APPLE IN A BLUE BOWL
I painted this image a few years ago as a demo at the "Home Show" in Daytona Beach. I gave it away at a Beaux Arts Christmas painting exchange. I was eager to see if I could paint it again even better as I belive I did with the "White Pepper." I don't know if it is better, but I do like it!
TOMATOS ON A VINE
"TOMATOES ON A VINE"
I have wanted to paint these tomatoes for a few years I like the way they play of each other I used the "negative painting" technique we learned at the workshop over a red toned surface I like it !
