Holiday Show

Last Saturday evening the Holiday Small Works show opened at Segil Fine Art Source gallery in Old Town Monrovia. It was a festive and very well attended show, with gallery owner Laura Segil presiding as gracious hostess. The art displayed was truly dazzling, with many of Southern California's best artists represented. I was honored to have three of my pieces included in the show, which will run through the end of the month.
Be sure to catch it if you are in the area, you'll be glad you did. Visit Segil's website here.

See's

Here's a small watercolor that packs a lot of calorie-free chocolate joy. You can bet the still life prop used here is long gone. This piece is 4 1/2"x 4 1/2".

Asparagus Bouquet

Here's a new watercolor of a bunch of asparagus bound with a length of twine and standing up on an old wooden cutting board. This piece is 7"x5".

Cherries on Linen

Here's a new still life just completed. This beautiful old linen piece has seen a lot of wear over its lifetime but still works wonderfully in still life settings. This piece is acrylic on canvas and is 8"x8".

Landscape Continues

I'm glad to be able to get a few hours in on this landscape today. I've been doing a lot of varnishing of other pieces which is essential work but seems to eat up a lot of painting time. I enjoy doing a landscape in the midst of a lot of still life work, too. It sort of clears my head and makes the ensuing still life work flow more easily.

Landscape Progress

This doesn't look much different than the last image because.......right! It hasn't had much work the past few days. Still, it's coming along.

Still Waters

Here's the beginning of a new landscape. Posting a painting in progress at such an early stage is a little intimidating as it may tank still but I think it will work out. This is a scene from the trip my daughter and I took to Ireland a few years ago. It is the Ballynahinch River in county Galway.
I'm painting this one in acrylic on a 20"x16" Ampersand panel.
