Pomegranate and Blue

8"x8"
sold

remember I had that light bulb moment about reflected light? although the spoonbill sketch totally qualified for it too, today I grabbed a pomegranate off the counter and a sheet of shiny origami paper Ocean had lying around and had a grand time with it. LOOK AT HOW ROUND AND SHINY.

Starfish Sketch

5"x7"
sold

So a starfish,. when happy and in the water and doing its being-alive thing, is not really into hard paintable edges. There's fuzziness. Or tendril-ey-ness. It's quite endearing.

Turkey Portrait

Silver Light on the River

16"x20"

Once upon a time in Florida there was fading light on the river turning everything silver. There were swifts flying low over the water catching insects, but they were moving so fast I couldn't even think how to paint them.

The flying jellyfish, on the other hand....

All the Pretty Flowers

9"x12"

Because a beautiful new plate needs a still life portrait. And a still life portrait needs a shiny glass sphere.
