Treasures

20x16"  Oil on Stretched Linen

I sometimes take little treasures to my great-nieces in Texas.  This is Natalie, draped in costume jewelry which I snagged from the recesses of my jewelry stand drawers and tucked into a little cosmetic clutch.  In her right hand, Natalie is clutching a little glass dolphin pendant on a leather string, which I hear she wears all the time.  What a treasure...this sweet child!

Satsumas

SOLD

8"x16" Oil on stretched canvas.

I was contemplating my next painting when my daughter returned from visiting her father, and deposited on the table a bag of satsumas from his trees in Baldwin County, Alabama.  Satsumas with leaves!
