"Warming Buddha"

"Warming Buddha"

oil on canvas, 18" x 24"

SOLD

I painted a much smaller version on this Happy Buddha a little while ago and have also been working on this larger version. This one was lit from below and in front and the other from the top. This made me think on Buddha sitting in front of a toasty fire, warming himself, hence the name. What terrific colors to combine in a shiny object!

"Popped"

"Popped"

oil on canvas, 45" x 15"

SOLD

I have been slowly working on this piece for a month, even as I continued to try to paint small here and there. I think I am finally finished with just some tiny fine tuning and softening. This was really fun and I think I know popcorn inside and out now...Now off to the movies for Harry Potter 7 Part 2! Enjoy!

"Cookies and Milk"

"Cookies and Milk"

oil on board, 5"x 7"

SOLD

This is a teeny, tiny version of cookies and milk similar to one of my large pieces that sold a while back called "Stacked". I still love the idea of this so I thought I'd try small.

"Butterscotch and Caramel"

"Butterscotch and Caramel"

oil on board, 8"x 10"

The new chickens are getting to be full size. Alas, Caramel is obviously a rooster...

"Pliny the Elder Beer"

"Pliny the Elder Beer"

oil on board, 7" x 5"

available at the Bellevue Artsfair July 29, 30, 31

If you are a beer enthusiast, you probably know about this one. "Pliny the Elder" by Russian River Brewing has won Best Beer in the World 2 years running and we happened to find some in our local store just this week. Mostly you can only get a bottle or 2 by adding your name to the waiting list and being patient for a few months but we really lucked out and I have to say that it lives up to it's reputation! Of course I had to paint it while I had it.

"Krispy Kremes"

"Krispy Kremes"

oil on board, 8" x 8"

SOLD

Of course I had to paint doughnuts. They seemed to be missing from my Bad Food list of favorites.
