CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY
oil on canvas, appr 4"x6"
I got a box of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas and put them in the fridge. I forgot all about them until yesterday. What a surprise to find them! I thought I'd better go ahead and paint one before they're all eaten because they won't last long.

ZUCCHINI AND CARROTS
oil on canvas appr 4"x6"
Today there's a steady rain and the temperature is hovering in the mid 30s with the possiblity of sleet or snow later. It feels even colder than it is. So, I decided to stay inside and paint some of the ingredients of the soup I'm making today. It's a perfect day for soup...and it's always a perfect day for painting.

I'm finally back online!!! I've been out of town lately, but I've been painting. And, when I returned home, my modem died. So, now I have a new modem and I've posted all the paintings I've done.

Today, New Year's Eve, we went to Mexico to shop. Among other things, we bought a bag of avocados. Since it's against the law to bring the seeds across the border, the venders cut open all the avocados and place a slice of jalapeno pepper in the cavity. The jalapeno keeps them from turning brown.
