Pear and Strawberries, 6"x6", Oil on Canvas

It seems there is an abundance of fruit this year. Strawberries are delicious to eat, but their vibrant color and beautiful shapes are very inviting to a painter. I enjoyed painting these lovlies. I'm forever amazed at God's providence. I'm still new to blogging and each day I'll probably tidy the post up a bit (smiles). So, bear with me all you silent ones out there!

"Three Amigos"

I lived most of my life on a farm-ranch in Oklahoma. This experience gave me a great appreciation for the natural beauty and design of the outdoors and of farm animals. The patterns and natural earth tone colors of steers' coats became a fancy for me. The "Three Amigos" is a giclee print on canvas of three steers I have painted several times. I have painted cattle for several years and lately there has been a trend of appreciation for this kind of art. This pleases me. I'll post the story of these fellas someday.
