A Glass of White
(18" x 18", oil on canvas)

Although I find myself drawn lately to larger formats, I do try and mix it up a little with some smaller sizes.

Root Vegetables
(18" x 36", oil on canvas)

While rutabagas may be seen as a rather pedestrian vegetable compared to the exotic offerings found nowadays in most grocery stores, there is nothing ordinary about their colour and various textures. Pairing them with another brilliant root vegetable seemed a good fit.

Soft Focus Plums
(24" x 24", oil on canvas)

The dusty reds and blues of these plums called for some softer brushwork. My usual bright white cloth may have overwhelmed the more delicate colouring, so I opted for a subdued cloth. The grid of folds in the cloth serves to break up the space and is a nice contrast to the organic lines of the stem.

It has been a few weeks since my last post and I apologize. There is a nasty cold bug floating around and both my husband and I caught it. I hope to be back to normal within a week or so.
