Pomegranite

This was my final painting for the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday in Gainesville.  I was reading the book by Sue Monk Kidd entitled "Traveling with Pomegranites".  The book explores the mother daughter relationship and I knew as I was painting this that I would most likely give it to my daughter.  The pomegranite slice was fairly difficult and I had to finish it when I returned to NC. 

All three of the walnut ink still lifes were set up on a book shelf in my daughter's living room that caught beautiful light out of a north facing window. 

Memory of Lake Lanier

This was painted at a workshop led by Australian artist, Kasey Sealy in September of 2007.  It was an early morning alla prima painting at Lake Summit.  Kasey painted this scene and I set up my easel beside his and just tried to keep up and paint the way he was painting.  Quite the challenge. 

This painting was a wedding gift to one of my daughter's 'best friends' who spent many happy weekends with us at Lake Lanier while the girls were growing up.
