Yellow and Gray

While painting this, I listened to Espresso Tales by McCall Smith. I love to read and paint, so I combine the two. The pitcher was my mother-inlaw's and I finally got around to painting it. $100.00 plus s/h.

The Misfits

First of all, I listened to Espresso Tales by McCall Smith while I painted this. I'm currently addicted to his books and the great thing is the library has all his works, so I'm kind of in pig heaven. While I painted this it struck me that the white pumpkin is rare and the gourd is lumpy and weird looking, so I started thinking of them as misfits, thus the title. This painting is 6x8" oil on canvas and $100.00.
