November and December

I haven't had much painting time in the past several weeks and I am anxious to get back to it.

December always merrily clips along, leaving me wondering where all it's days have gone as suddenly I find it is almost Christmas day. Its cold, and its going to get colder in the next couple of days. In fact, it snowed today, which doesn't happen that often here. Sounds like its time to bundle up and weather the storm!

These two small paintings give me a warm, sun-splashed day to bask in while I sit by the fire and sip hot chocolate- which I am not doing, but wish I was.

Living things

I really enjoyed working on these two paintings. They both have several layers of paint, and therefore, great texture and underlying hues.

More edible items

Edible things are great subjects for paintings. There is always something- your lunch, breakfast, etc.- that you can use in a still life.
