Mini Plums
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

I try not to paint on weekends anymore, experience having taught me that after a two-day break I am refreshed and my work is improved. So, when my husband arrived home with these small plums on a Friday, he knew I would have a tough time sticking to my self-imposed regime. I had all weekend to sketch and plan my composition and by the time Monday morning rolled around I knew exactly what I was going to do. Some folks eagerly await Fridays; I seem to prefer Mondays.
