Juicies

'Juicies'
4" x 6" watercolor on paper
$50 plus $7 US shipping or $15 Int.
 



Sometimes I just feel like painting a still life. Not very often, but sometimes. :)
 
My sons love these little Clementines that come into the stores around Christmas time. I think it's partly because they are yummy but also because they are little and cute. My now four year old boy insists on eating them because he can peel them himself. :)
 
And I just want to say thank you, so much, for all of you who visit this blog, whether you comment or not (but if you do take the time to comment here's an extra *hug* for you). Your support and kindness means so much to me. More than I can say. I try to reply to comments or questions but it may take me a while if I get behind (which, if I'm being honest, is pretty much all the time).
 
Just want you all to know how much I appreciate you. Every single one of you. :) Have a great day everyone!

    Those really look juicy, like they are going to burst when you put them in your mouth.

    So gorgeous I had to Pin It! I love how you capture light. It's one of the hardest things to do and you make it look effortless! Wonderful!

    They look illuminated within, sweet and juicy! Striking with the dark background.

    It puzzles me why you shy away from Still-Life painting because they are equally as masterful as your portraits! Really, do you know just how amazing they are?? Capturing and mimicking colour is one thing, but capturing light filtering through an object/colour is a different thing altogether and one that's not easy to get at all.
    You have something very special and it's so rare! You, Carrie and Barbra Fox are extraordinary watercolour artists and in a league all of your own - right at the top of the tree! This is nothing less than phenomenal! PS. Hugs back :0)
