Every year I grow ruby chard in my garden to paint and eat...here is a bunch I picked just for the painting...gorgeous greens and reds.....24x36" oil on canvas

Milkweed and Landscape in the Studio

Drawing is very difficult when you are really used to painting...I think in terms of masses of color , but then again there is line to consider...so I just keep working at it and I swear I will do it differently the next time...22x30" China Marker on paper

Still life with Pomegranite and Osage Oranges

These drawings were done in the past few days....I was reading Van Goghs letters where he speaks about drawing all the time and I wanted to do some myself....these were done with China Marker on paper @ 22x30" It is tricky when you get used to painting to switch back to drawing...a challenge, but a good one....
