"Pomegranate Sketch", 6 X 8", oil on linen
A First Pomegranate Painting
First I had to learn how to open this delicious fruit (thanks Martha Stewart), then how to set it up for maximum impact. I want to paint more of these - they're so juicy looking, and absolutely delicious after I was ready to quit.
Juried Into Exhibition!
Just learned three of my oil paintings have been juried in to the highly competitive "Randy Highbee 6X6" Squared" exhibition. They'll be on display and for sale in Los Angeles beginning December 2. THANK YOU RANDY HIGHBEE!

| Sample framing of "Taylor Jug and Pear" |
I collect antique moonshine jugs, and loved the shape, coloring and stenciled letters of the maker on the jug. The pear I chose especially to go with the pottery, which I thought gave it a run for the money in terms of fabulous color.
This is an original oil painting, done alla prima (in one sitting - a long day!). The painting is on archival board and is unframed, 8 X 10".
