The High Dive

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL AGES! I present to you the next painting in a series of many, I like to call Big Top Kitchen Edition! You are about to witness an audacious act of aqueous adventure, as our hero cherry tomato shall plunge from the very top glass platform into a mere two fingers of water! She may look like she has doubts, folks, but I assure you: she is a professional.

This is also one of many pieces in my Cubicle Art collection, named so because they are small and portable and easily hung on a thumb tack, for those of you who would like a little more art in your cubicle.

Teeterboarders

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL AGES! I present to you the next painting in a series of many, I like to call Big Top Kitchen Edition! See the breathtaking teeterboard act! Two brothers in a feat of acrobatic grace, one (the elder) gearing up to launch the other (the younger) sky-high on to the higher platform! Will he make it? Will we have ketchup on our hands?? Can we handle the suspense???

Tightripe Walker

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL AGES! I present to you the next painting in a series of many, I like to call Big Top Kitchen Edition! Behold, the tightripe walker, deftly traversing the forked tightrope without the use of a net!

This is also a teeny tiny painting, part of my Cubicle Art collection, because they are small and portable and easily hung on a thumb tack, for those of you who would like a little more art in your cubicle.

I've been getting a lot of really great feedback lately - thanks so much! If you have any other ideas for subjects along these lines or anything else you'd like to let me know, please feel free to leave a comment.

Natural Lullaby

I made this blueberry orange honey sleep tonic (with lavender, catnip, lemon balm, and all other things sleepytime) in order to combat a small bout of insomnia.. And boy, not only was it gorgeous, but it worked like a charm!

Food Pyramid

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL AGES! I present to you the next painting in a series of many, I like to call Big Top Kitchen Edition! Behold, the gravity-defying cherry tomato pyramid! Will they stay that way? I guarantee you they will, now that they've been immortalised on an easy-to-pin surface!

These three little guys charmed the paint outta me. :)

Ready for Launch

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL AGES! I present to you the very first painting in a series of many, I'd like to call Big Top Kitchen Edition! This would be, I suppose, the cherry tomato cannonball, preparing to be launched sky-high for spec-maters.

Should I apologize for that pun?

It's a cubicle painting, so it's light and flat enough to be pinned onto a cubicle wall.

When We Grow Up

The beautiful cherry tomatoes look up at the deep, spiced red peppers, and say to themselves "Wow, when we grow up we want to be just like them!"

Sorry, babies.. You're much better off realising that you're perfect as you are!

What did I do this week, anyway?

What did I do this week, you ask?


Oh, a little of this...

Blue Lemonade

Little Palette Cleanser Demo (it looks much more green and orange in real life)

... A little of that...

Flow Drawing at the Aberdeen Wellbeing Centre

And even a little bit of this!

Oil Painting Fundamentals at the Rosemount Community Centre

So I may have been absent, but I've been just as busy as ever. New paintings will be coming soon! I hope to get 4 paintings done this week. Wish me luck!

Little Blue Candleholder

Sorry she's late, folks. This is my little blue candleholder hanging out a lemon and a few clementines (as she often does). Next week will have fewer paintings; I'm going to be starting two new classes and I'll also be working on my manuscript. Have a great week, everyone!

Fuscia and Orange

Loved painting this little guy this morning. Can't wait to get it photographed a little better; I love my little 5c very much, but it gets a little overwhelmed when I paint with high-contrast colours!

Guapea

Had a lot of fun with this little guy today. And afterwards, I made a massive spicy salsa salad. I have always loved tomatoes.. I think I'm going to be painting quite a few in the upcoming year or two!

I'm not even close to where I want to be as an artist right now, but I feel even more confident in this piece than I did in my very first, 5 days ago. I'm excited to see the things I'll be doing 5 days, 10 days, and 20 days from now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to join me on this journey!
