Pink Pitcher and Strawberries - Original Oil Painting

This painting took more than a day to paint. I am pleased with the color scheme. I wanted to create a comfortable, warm, and enticing mood as I used the pinks and reds and their complements. It is a hot, high key painting -- one I am satisfied with. It is painted on 11x14 stretched canvas and unframed. You may purchase this painting or a giclee print at www.peacockgarden.com.

On a Roll With Strawberries

Saucer of Strawberries, 6x8 Oil on Canvas Board

I have certainly found out that the discipline of writing (posting) is much harder than the discipline of painting pictures. It has been a while since I posted last; nevertheless, I must say that I am on a roll -- a strawberry roll! Webster's Dictionary describes my "roll" as moving like a ball, as if on wheels. I have been painting strawberries almost daily for a week. Mmmmm, such pleasure, both edible and in creativity. Hope you enjoy the next few days as I have.

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!
