Lean On Me

18 x 34,5 cm This guy had two sections when I brought him home. When a third section appeared, he started tipping over, so I removed the new one. And kept doing so with subsequent growth. But one day, when I wasn't looking, there came a few new ones and I didn't have the heart to take them off. I leaned him the right direction against the window for support, and everything is fine.

The Mighty Acorn

Good Blessings

Gourds represent longevity and good blessings.

Warty

13,5 x 15 cm I love gourds with their warty lumps. It's probably no accident they are in season with witches.

Clown

We went to the circus this summer, and there were three clowns from Spain. They were great. This wasn't one of them.

Unwinding

Daisy Type

Lunchtime

18 x 17,5 cm

Water Cooker

17,5 cm

How many wonderful things start out with something simple like hot water?

Gathering

aceo Did you know that pawns jump? All over the place. Every time I looked, they were in different places. I didn't even dare get a drink for fear there wouldn't be any left when I came back. I was glad when I thought I had some positioning with them, and they started looking like pawns. Although one reminded me of Darth Vader when I was painting it.

Pepper Patch

Two Pairs

Relaunched. I thought the pears looked muddy in the original version, but I liked how they were done. I didn't do a thing with the pears but changed the background, and now they don't look muddy.

Duh

aceo Sometimes I wonder why there are so many duh moments in my life. Why was it so hard to see it? But I am glad for moments of illumination anyway.

Sunny

9 x 7 inches Since it was a traveling day when we saw the best sunflowers and the best weather, there was no time to stop and paint. My husband took the camera into the field, and meeting the sunflowers face to face, got some great shots.

Coffee Grinder

It grinds other things too. Like oat kernels for dog treats. A bit of work, and not the most favorite dog treats, though.
