Summer Harvest, 9053, original still life of summer vegetables

This is the latest challenge for Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Folks blog. The subject this time is this colorful plate of summer vegetables. I tried to emphasize the light/shadow and keep a painterly approach. For purchase information, please see my website.

Yellow Onions, 00909, onion still life

These onions are actually very attractive. I bought a bag on onions and considered painting them in the bag until I thought about the complexity of such a painting with the mesh of the bag on top of the layers of peel on the onions. I could do it, but I would have to charge $1000 for a little painting.

This painting is on a 6x6 gallery wrap canvas. For more info on this painting, please see my website:

Stoplight Peppers 2, 5x7 oil

If you've been checking out my blog for a while, you may remember this painting. Actually, it's another version of the painting. Last Saturday I had to do demo "small paintings" at the gallery in Golden, Spirits in the Wind. I wanted to work on something where I had already worked out any problems, so as not to embarrass myself. (Is that cheating?) SOLD

Sprouting, 5x7 oil

In the cold, dark garage, life begins in the onion bag.
