Ready to Leap - SOLD

It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

Candy

This is a second painting of my shiny, colourful candy. I looked for some quotes online about candy and this one made me laugh. I don't know this book, but perhaps I'll have to check it out.

“Of course." He picked up the brown bag of candy on the table. "What's your..." He trailed off as he weighed the bag in his hands. "Didn't I give you three pounds of candy?"
She smiled impishly.
"You ate half the bag!"
"Was I supposed to save it?"

"I would have liked some!"

"You never told me that."

"Because I didn't expect you to consume all of it before breakfast!"

She snatched the bag from him and put it on the table. "Well, that just shows poor judgement on your part, doesn't it?”

The simple pleasures

The simple pleasures can make life so sweet, don't you think? This cupcake was filled with lemon curd and was super-delicious : ) I purchased it at The Watering Can.

Lemon Tart

I thought the three pastries from yesterday were so lovely they each needed their own painting. So this is a lemon tart topped with meringue and a thin slice of dehydrated pineapple, capped with a plump blueberry. The pineapple cut and dried this way resembles a beautiful flower. I love it and it tasted delicious!

Work in progress + retooling

Detail, work in progress

Hello! So I've had a bit of a break lately - not vacation, just a lot of thinking and decision-making into what direction to take things. Paths. Retooling. FOCUSING. I'm going to be putting the bulk of my energy into abstract painting. To keep my painting muscles limber I'll be doing a few other things along the way, but primarily abstract it will be.
This is a detail of a piece I'm working on currently (my favourite part - the part that's working! lol).

Hopewell Cape

This is my finished painting of Hopewell Cape (home of the Hopewell Rocks). This is a spot we toured on our holiday in New Brunswick. It is at the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides in the world. It's spectacular to be walking on the ocean floor when the tide is out. And doesn't it have the best name?

Royal spectators - SOLD

It's a Royal Gala apple. Just trying to get catchy with my titles ; ) I enjoyed painting this one. The apple gave me a bit of a struggle - I've always found the apples that are a mix of green and red streaks tricky to paint but this time I got closer to the look without the apple looking too fragmented.
