Tea with Lemons

Size: 12” x 12” Oil on 1/8″ Ampersand Panel
The original painting along with fine art prints will be available on Sunday, May 17th at 9:00 am CST

This painting features a cup of tea on a saucer, with a spoon and two lemons, all set under dramatic lighting. I was drawn to the contrast between the bright yellow lemons and the deep shadows, and the way the light reflected off the surfaces. It was a fun study in color, light, and composition.

House Wren & Spring Blossoms

Size: 14” x 11” Oil on 7/8″ Gallery Wrapped Linen Canvas
The original painting along with fine art prints will be available on Friday, May 2nd at 1:00 pm CST

I just love the scent and freshness that follows a good spring rain – everything feels so alive! This week’s painting features a house wren perched on the rim of a terra cotta pot, still damp from the rain. Pink impatiens spill gently over the edge. Soft sunlight begins to filter in, bringing a renewed warmth to the scene.
