Pink Roses

The roses are in a small square glass milk bottle from a dairy in Connecticut that no longer exists. I love this little bottle--I wonder if anyone still makes glass milk bottles? (Please forgive glare on photo.)

Long Stem

It was the stem that made me want to paint this.

Sunflower

It is hard to resist sunflowers--they are big and goofy and happy.

Sitting Tall

This is one of the old bottles that I previously mentioned. It is scratched and beat up but still beautiful.

Something Inside

Usually, it is the pear's solid, chunky form that I like to paint; today was a day for something different.

Flower Overhang

I have fallen in love with glass and old glass bottles. I look for Saturday tag sales within walking distance of my home. It is a great start to the weekend when I get in a long walk and find a lovely glass bottle or other inspiring still life object.

I just brought this painting over to the Westville Gallery, New Haven, CT.

First One

There won't be any homegrown tomatoes for quite a while here in Connecticut--but one can look forward to warmer days and summer gardens.

Stacked

Happy Mother's Day to all moms everywhere.

Red Drama

It is unusual for me to use red as a background color--but I am pleased with this painting.
