Go out and buy some art...

I noticed that one of my favorite 'daily' (I loathe that term, and wish I could find a better one) painters, Paul Hutchinson is engaging in a 'dutch' auction. I urge you to consider taking a look see at his site (if you haven't already, or it's been a while)...

I saw these baby pineapples in the market, and I thought that if I were to put this together with a banana painting and another piece of fruit, I'd have a nice little roll of the one armed bandit...

Maybe I ought to do cherries next?

Clouds (private collection)

Another cloud captured from the studio window. My head has been in the clouds as of late.

As promised, here is a peek at some of the larger kite pieces currently underway. The photos of the paintings need to be retaken (these are quick snapshots), but you get the idea. These are very different from what I normally do, and I'm not sure how they fit in with the rest of my oeuvre... hence the very different pricing scheme from what you'd normally see from me for a painting of these sizes.

Second kite study for a larger work. Doing the study convinced me to shift this composition to a square format. The larger piece size is 30 inches X 30 inches. I'll post some larger piece shots tomorrow...

I've been doing some studies for the kite series, and figured that I'd best look to life for some inspiration. This isn't en plein aire... it's en plein studio. As in, view out my studio window.

This is a study for a larger piece (about 30 inches by 40 inches) which is a little bit of a departure for me (both in size and subject matter). There's likely to be a few more of these over the next day or two...
