Seeds, oil on linen, 7" X 5", 2008
at charity auction

A conflagration of events (family, fun, and a special project at my old job) conspired to keep me from the easel the last little bit. Posting may also be spotty for the next week or so, but should return to normal soon...

(Update 10/4/08) I dropped a margarita on this and a few other paintings, necessitating some rework of the affected pieces (who knew ice, salt, water, juice, sugar, and alcohol could do so much damage? what a surprise!).
This is the first to get reposted...

Here's the original (the new one is on top)

sold

I've been painting small pictures of objects (and places) nearly every day for the better part of a year now, and I can say that by far, my favorite subject to paint has been fish.

They offer a wealth of possibility for observation-- a combination of reflection, iridescence, texture, and character.

These wee beasties had the whole house reeking. It's a good thing I live alone! I have family coming in the next few days, so these had to be painted now.

Thankfully, the rubbish is out, and off to the landfill.

I dropped this painting butter side down on the floor! I've rescued it from oblivion, and reposted the image. Below is what it looked like pre drop. I like the newer version better. Happy accident.
