Moving is not easy!  We have been moving to a different state during the last several weeks.  Oh My!!!

This is one of the paintings that I have managed to complete since moving my studio.  I'm getting use to my surroundings, and I needed the therapy that painting provides me.  When I paint my troubles and stress seem to disappear.  This particular still life painting was a little more tedious for me to do than some.  Green and red bell peppers make such a wonderful complementary statement.  Kitchens that have a lot of reds in them has to have green to create pleasing color balance.  In this painting the blue and white bowl seemed to be the perfect container for this little still life.  I loved the way the colors complemented one another and bounced around visually. If you are interested in this painting you can find it by clicking Peppers!

This painting is an older one that I painted a couple of years ago.  Some paintings I can't hardly give up for one reason or another.  I've never quite figured it out.  My husband says, "You can paint another one!"  But, there is something that keeps me bonded with them (like Velcro).  Is it because I love the subject matter....the color.....design.....the end result (product)?  I wonder if it is that deep down.... I'm afraid that I couldn't quite duplicate it if I tried.  All artists know that we really can't duplicate something exactly and maybe....just maybe....that magical thing called "process"  is what we bond with.  Who knows (smiles)?

This painting (6x6) features strawberries in a blue and white rice bowl. Set before a golden background the composition makes a primary color scheme complete. The strawberries look good enough to eat and they were! This painting may be purchased by visiting my etsy shop: http://www.chatterboxart.etsy.com/.
