8 x 8 oil on gessoed hardboardHere are some little bottles that I had sitting around. I thought it would be fun to work with the reflections, the light shapes, and the translucency.

Storm Sky
7 x 7 oil on gessoed hardboardThis little painting is based on a photo I took last summer near Damon Point State Park on the north side of Gray's Harbor on the Washington State coastline. The sky looked like it was going to let loose with something strange, but it never did--just an odd cloud formation.

Crab Dinner
Windsor and Newton Watercolor on 9 x 12 Strathmore Cold Press 140 lb paper
I haven't completed a watercolor in a very long time, but I developed a lust for fresh crab today and watercolor captured the image well. For many years I lived on Hood Canal in Puget Sound and was used to fresh crab whenever I wanted it. Three years ago I moved away. Needless to say I miss summer days and eating fresh cracked crab over a newspaper with a pair of pliers.

Quick Study
4 x 6 oil painting on canvas panel
Today's posting is a tiny still life of one of my paint tubes. It was completed quickly in the late afternoon before I lost the daylight. I prefer to paint in natural light, so my painting time is often restricted in winter. I'm looking forward to longer days, more day light, and more time to paint.

Still Life Oil Painting -- Saturday Limes
NFS
Limes in a Vase 8 x 10 oil on canvas covered hardboard
Saturday morning grocery shopping always brings with it the bright colors of fresh produce. I couldn't resist these limes; I wanted to make sure I could see their beautiful color so I put them in a glass vase. This was a delightful Saturday morning project.
