Lamplight
Getting a lot of mileage out of that lacy skirt posing as a curtain. The play of light on the layers of fabric is so delicious! You artists understand that.

Tulips in Candlelight
8x10" Oil on Linen Panel
I enjoyed painting tulips, so here they are again. Tulips take on a life of their own. They seem to be carrying on a kind of flower dance, especially when I confuse them with candlelight. Speaking of candles, did I mention that painting candlelight is a blast? With three candles, you get three sources of light, casting shadows in three different directions. Fun! And, oh yes, when you let a candle burn down to a cloth, you get fire!! Good thing I look intently at my subject.

Depression Bowl & Cherries
Last night I arranged this setup with the bowl and cherries, then proceeded to paint. I wiped the bowl off several times before going online to see if anyone had tips on painting depression glass. What I found was that another artist had painted a green depression glass bowl with cherries, and had posted her lovely painting on Leslie Saeta's blog for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Honestly! Depression glass and cherries!
I did not find any tips or demos, so I relied on principles of painting to guide me. I almost left the cherries out to keep from appearing to be a copycat. Glad I decided to keep them.

Inkwell
I thought about calling this "Invisible Ink", considering that the inkwell is empty and there is no writing on the stationery. Didn't want to interfere with the play of the light in the glass.

Meyer Lemons
My daughter also brought home a bag of Myer Lemons, grown by her grandfather in Baldwin County, Alabama. Yes, they look like oranges. I love the way they compliment my sister's blue bowl. I wiped out the wedge slices and repainted them after watching Carol Marine's ArtByte on painting orange slices. Why reinvent the wheel? Thanks Poppy (and Carol)!
