Strawberry Season

The days of local strawberries are here, and in spite of the cold snap we are having, I am excited about going out to pick strawberries at some of the nearby strawberry fields very soon.

As you can see, I am working on a new perspective for my still life paintings.  I love painting things looking down into them like this.  I bought this little pitcher in Charlotte over the week-end along with some other sale items that will be great for painting and kitchen usage.

I love tablecloths, especially those with  stripes. This painting is quite large and I like the fact that the canvas is square and the table is oblong. I really enjoyed painting this still life set up while I was in the workshop in Florida with Alice Williams. I used cobalt blue and white for the stripes and I think that gives it a very fresh and lively feeling. This painting will be going to One Eleven Main as soon as I frame it.
