Apple of My Eye

Apple of My Eye
6x6"
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting #63 - A wonderful summer with my husband prompted the title of this painting. He's definitely the, "Apple of My Eye". My favourite part of this painting is how the colours of the background and the apple work together. I think the painting has a masculine feel to it. Do you think its due to the colour scheme?

Left in the Shadows

Left in the Shadows
6x6"
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting #62 - This was the last tomato in the crisper. I liked its vine so decided to paint it. My favourite part of the painting is its shadows. I used my house number on the tomato's sticker.

Peachy Keen


Peachy Keen
6x6"
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting #61 - Ironically, I wouldn't describe painting this peach as Peachy Keen. I had great difficulty mixing colours and couldn't ever seem to get the true colour of my peach. I like the background colour. I think it compliments the fruit.

BC Cherries


BC Cherries
6x6"
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting #60 - I painted these cherries right after I painted a landscape with very loose trees. I thought I'd try the same style with my cherries. I like the look - the painting looks cheerful - the same way I feel when I eat BC cherries.
