This week’s painting features a golden oak leaf resting beside a fallen acorn, both viewed from above and illuminated by a soft light from the top left. The gentle shadows cast by the leaf and acorn give the composition a sense of quiet depth, as though the moment has been stilled in time.

I love featuring birds in still life setups paired with a single object. I haven’t painted a cedar waxwing before, and this magnolia-with-vase felt like the perfect pairing.

After over 20 years of painting still lifes in oil, I realized I had never once painted a person. Not a single figure, not even a hand. I think I was always a little intimidated by it – so this week, I finally decided to challenge myself! This painting is my first attempt at capturing the human form – a quiet moment of a child reaching out to a butterfly. I wanted it to feel nostalgic, dreamlike, and full of that wide-eyed wonder we all start out with.

This week’s painting captures a serene moment with a bouquet of vibrant blue hydrangeas resting delicately atop a pair of stacked white books. The rich blue of the hydrangeas contrasts with the crisp whiteness of the books and the subtle play of light and shadow enhances the elegance of the bouquet and the simplicity of the books.

Introducing this week’s painting: “Bumble Bee, Honey & Blossoms.” As I worked on this piece, I couldn’t help but feel the end of summer creeping in on us—a bittersweet time of year when the days are still warm, but there’s a hint of change in the air. This painting is an ode to the end of summer, featuring a honey bear bottle surrounded by two freshly picked flowers from my yard—a vibrant Black-Eyed Susan and a graceful Purple Coneflower. A curious bumble bee hovers nearby, drawn to the last of the season’s blooms. Soft light filters in from the left, illuminating the scene and casting a warm, golden glow on the wall behind the honey.
It’s a lovely time of year – I hope this painting captures that fleeting, golden moment as summer gently begins to fade. Be sure to watch the process video on YouTube! I hope you enjoy it!
This painting features a waffle cone packed with a plentiful portion of creamy vanilla ice cream.
