2019+1004 Ginger Jar and Lemon
As you learn more and more about me and what I love about art, you'll see more and more fruit and their impact on my art. It seems I cannot stay away from painting them. In one form or another they spill out. In this painting, the lemon spray a bit, so I tried to let it be.

2019-1003 Brass Pot and Apples
Good morning!
It's another beautiful day. The sun is shining through my windows and onto the simple study I completed last evening.
This one is done completely with a palette knife. You'll see the style is very different from most of my still life. Give me some feedback on what you think.

2019-1002 Complementary Lemons
So I have another wonderful painting to add.
This was a particularly fun painting for me. I spent lots of time this year just playing with color. Also I played with using water mixable oils. Who knew - water and oils can mix!

2019-1001 Autumn Joys
This is the first work from 2018 that I've added to this blog.
I'm busily trying to get the set up the way I'd like to interact with a blog myself.
Let me know how this looks to you.
A questions I often get asked is: How does your painting help?
This is my answer:
I paint to ease the pain of living with a spouse suffering from Alzheimer's dementia.
These colors help me to see the joys in the small things, like the colors of Autumn
