Today I am painting some ballet pointe shoes.  I really like the effects of painting satin and ribbons.  

For the month of January, I decided if life gives lemons, to make lemon paintings.  Lemons are in season and affordable so... I find it's a great exercise for me to start the day with each one turning out different.  I love the sunshine yellow color this time of year.  Hope you do too!  

Finding wonderful foods at the local farmers' market to use as inspiration for new still life oil paintings.   This is a floral-infused Camembert cheese. Michigan blueberries.

In my studio, I am working on peonies and florals, more birds of various size canvas and wood panels, and also some fun and delicious still life paintings. Some peaches I plan to paint. Sunny sunflowers inspire me.
