New Minnies - Off To The Galleries!


"Brie And Figs" - Every time I paint Figs I put them next too other fruits. I recently read that figs go really well with cheese. I always love painting Brie so I thought they would go well together.


 "Grapefruit And Key Limes" These are just four of the new batch. With three new galleries to fill up I have been busy!!!


"Black Grapes And Figs" This one is my favorite of the bunch! I thought of each of the grapes and figs as a little solar system. They just had suck a celestial quality to them.



"Red Apple And Black Grapes" This apple has the most character I have ever seen in an apple. I love the way it feels like it is hunched over.....

  1. I love the Brie with the figs. The drama is unexpected and delicious. Sometimes fruit, even though lovely, can be predictable. Meaning, I know what I'm going to see before I really look. But the surprise of the Brie was good!

      I have been painting figs for years. I usually paint them either alone or with other fruit. I only recently learned that many people eat them with cheese.

    1. Thank you so much Sherry!!
      The great thing about figs is that they come in such different shapes and sizes that it is easy to find personality in them...
