GRANNIE SMITH APPLE
oil on canvas, appr 4"x6"

This was very enjoyable to paint! The apple is so shiny that there are many reflections and highlights on it. Most of the light on it was coming from the window or being reflected off the saucer.

COLORADO TEAPOT
Oil on canvas mounted to panel, appr 4"x6"
This is the teapot that matches the CREAM PITCHER. I decided I'd go ahead and paint it today so the set would be together. It's such a beautiful day here that I turned off the air conditioner and opened the windows. I love to paint with the windows open and the natural daylight coming in my studio windows. The teapot was sitting in front of a window, thus the back lighting. Soon, the weather will be cooler and I can have the windows open every day--until it gets too cold.
CREAM PITCHER

I painted this little cream pitcher last night. My mother brought me this and a matching tea pot from a trip to Colorado. I may paint the teapot one day.
