Raw Oyster

Oysters have played a big role in our family for years. My father-in-law (more like my dad) made his living as an oyster fisherman, running a skiff out of Pass Christian Harbor. I'd often go with him to help him get done more quickly, and there's nothing like the taste of a fresh, raw oyster that's just been shucked and rinsed in the salt water of the Gulf. Oysters have been the subject of many of my paintings. This particular oyster painting was on Day 47 of my daily painting challenge.

Avocados and Insects

It's been a lazy day. Not that I'm complaining. I did manage to list a bumblebee painting on Etsy though... And here's the avocado painting I listed on Etsy yesterday... They're both going to the McHenry Market at McDaniel's General Merchandise in McHenry on March 9th. I don't usually do markets and craft shows, but this one is right in the middle of my (tiny) community and I'm looking forward to checking it out. It's a farmer's market with homemade items as well. And it's from 12-4 on a Saturday so I don't even have to wake up early. Sweet!

Red Apple

Another fractured subject, this red apple was the subject of Day 36 of my 90 day painting challenge. I love the colors in this one. It's listed for sale on Etsy here . I'm currently working on a commissioned portrait of 2 little girls and the grandmother they never had the chance to meet. I'll be sharing that here after it's been gifted. There's a party scheduled tonight for the recipient of my last portrait, so hopefully I'll be able to share that here soon.

Tomato Slice

One of my favorites! There's nothing like a fresh tomato sandwich with mayo and white bread. This slice of tomato was the subject of Day 45 of my 90 day painting challenge, and is listed for sale on Etsy here .
