Starseeds

Have you ever sliced an apple in half from the side? The seeds make this very cool star pattern.

Tomorrow I am off to Texas for a workshop in New Braunfels. My flight is early and then because of the time zones and daylight savings I'll be off by three hours. You can bet I'll be asleep early tomorrow night!

Cheese and Grapes

I get my best ideas right before I fall asleep and right after I wake up. I don't know why. I had this idea recently, in bed, to paint little stacks of different kinds of cheese, paired with fruit. Why on earth was I thinking about this in bed?! At any rate, I was very excited to try it. And it turns out cheese has some lovely translucent qualities that are very interesting to paint. The only problem is after it sits out for a while it starts to ... "sweat" a bit.

Chicken for Dinner

This is my entry in this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge - the Raw Meat Challenge. Pretty silly, I know, but I've been wanting to paint a chicken like this for a while. It was really fun.

And speaking of Daily Paintworks, check out my interview on the DPW blog!

I enjoyed the apple slices so much yesterday I decided to try them again. I love that half apple shape.
