Lit From the Attic Window

11" x 14"  watercolor  still life    $300.00 matted

In all actuality, I had gone looking for a proper vase up into the attic, with this spray of sunflowers in my hands, thinking, "I should have given these sunflowers a drink first.  After laying them on the wooden table, the light struck them through the window.  "Oh" I thought, "how beautiful"!  And so I progressed through the stages of photographing and marveling at the freshness and the lights against the dark shadows.

"Tomato Notes"

 6 x 6 watercolor on 140 lb Arches paper   $55.00 unframed

 Yesterday, I judged some grade school paintings 1st - 8th. They were all so wonderful and I had a difficult time choosing. There were obvious pieces that I thought were more well constructed, but there were some that were simply personality. That is what I decided my tomatoes were. Personality! They reminded me of musical notes with their angular stems and bright color.
