Okra On Urban Dot Plate

Okra On Urban Dot Plate
I decided to paint some okra just picked from the garden, and then I was offered the use of one of my favorite plates by my son's wife Kim.  I have always loved these colorful shiny plates.  So the okra was kind of overshadowed by the cool design of the plates.

Pink Roses

Pink Roses    SOLD
These roses just called out to me to paint them and since they are so fully open, I know they will not last much longer.  They sure are pretty right now, though!

Pepper Jack And Plums

Pepper Jack And Plums
My friend Teej can sure put together a pretty snack plate!  This is one of those delicious red plums that I painted on Monday along with some cheese and grapes.  We have had a lot of fun this week and I really hate to leave Bald Head .  Below is a picture of me hard at work in my satellite studio.

Hogsnapper


Sold    Hogsnapper

This is my new favorite fish because of it's beautiful  coloration and the three dorsal spines.The Hogfish is very unusual in that it is protogynous, that is, it begins life as female and changes later to male.  The really large fish are probably male.  The Hogsnapper is a flavorful fish and can be found off the coast of North Carolina as well as other fishing spots.

Peach Trio

Peach Trio
Here are some more South Carolina peaches. I love it when they still have some leaves on them. These have some interesting shadows which were fun to paint.

Cookie Jar


Cookie Jar
This is the treat jar for my two dogs.  It stays on the kitchen counter and is a great motivator for Camden and Pixie.  If they are somewhere else in the house and I lift the lid, they come running.  I don't know how they always hear it, but they do.
