A record of my struggle to answer the big question "How do you work these dang paints?"
You'll find sketches and studies in oil, pastel, color pencil, pencil, and ink. I welcome comments, inquiries, and of course purchases.

Yellow Eggplant
5 x 7 inches, oil on board. $80
I've never seen a yellow eggplant before, but they're out there. Kay's been making and selling pies at an organic farmers' market near here. We've been getting great produce, and also I've been finding some great squash and gourds to paint. And this eggplant. Today I found some really scary looking gourds which I'm going to try painting. Perfect for Halloween.
I LOVE these colors! They remind me of Spanish artists like Velasquez. Impressionistic palettes don't do it for me anymore. Maybe I have spent too much time looking at soils. Can't get enough of those earth tones.
