Peaches, Peaches, Peaches!

Recently, some friends of ours from church gifted us with some peaches.  They were beautiful.  They said that this had been one of those years the peaches did well.  They had been healthy, didn't need much maintenance and weren't wormy in spite of not having been treated.  How good is this????  Oklahoma has such extreme conditions on their fruit trees, vegetable and flower gardens.  When we get a good year with moisture at the right time, we can have a harvest dance (lol), just before we eat our crops!  They tasted heavenly and I was so delighted when one of them still had leaves attached to it.  The leaves brought the natural and fresh look I needed when composing them in a still life.  Loved doing this one and I did a small 6x6 painting of them below:  Both can be found in my Etsy store.

Adding posts to my blog has sadly diminished again this month!  Personal circumstances have taken priority over my passion for painting, but I'm ready to heal and take my brush in hand and create some small works from things that have inspired me.  Since our lives have been on hold for the past few months we had given up on gardening.  We missed the fresh garden produce.  However, a couple of families in church have gifted us with some beautiful and tasty tomatoes and peaches.  I couldn't resist painting them.  Here as a painting is a sampling of the peaches we were given.  This small painting is listed in my Etsy store.  Have a look here.

One of my husband's favorite fruit, these peaches are a favorite to paint.  I am a fan of Cezanne  and I love the color he placed in his fruit.  Take a look at this blog to read more about him and see images of his work.  I have this painting listed in my Etsy store.   Click here to find out more about it.
