Tea with Lemons

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.

This week’s painting features a simple glass jar filled with freshly cut crabapple blossoms, capturing the delicate beauty of spring. The Spring Snow crabapple trees are in full bloom right now, and their sweet, floral scent fills the air everywhere you go. I couldn’t resist painting them!

House Wren & Spring Blossoms

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.
