Bread

Bread, Oil on Linen, 24x30

What is more inviting than a table full of bread?  I just love all of their various textures, shapes and colors. The copper pot and the old terra cotta olive jar added even more interesting textures to the mix.  This was a fun painting to do, and the bonus was that my studio smelled like a bakery for two weeks!

I just returned from Pinehurst, NC where my work was featured in the annual holiday open house at Hollyhocks Art Gallery.  We had a great turnout and another bonus, I sold two paintings!

 

Antipasto

Antipasto, Oil on Linen, 16x20

This is one of my new paintings.  I have been particularly inspired by food themes lately.  This one kept making me hungry, though.

I am happy to announce that as of October 4, my work is now available through Hollyhocks Art Gallery, 905 Linden Road in Pinehurst, NC.  My thanks to owner, Jane Casnelli, who spotted my work at the Moore County Art Center show in August and invited me to be part of her gallery. Pinehurst is a lovely historic village in the Sandhills of North Carolina about and hour south of Raleigh and just over three hours north of Charleston.  It is noted for its world class golf courses and for its elegant horse farms and equestrian activities.  Some new themes might be forthcoming....
