I turn in the other half of my paintings to the gallery today, there's 54 in all, crazy! I'm getting excited for the opening next week, it will be part of Santa Barbara's First Thursday festivities. November 3, 5:00-8:00 pm, hope to see some of you there! :) Click here for more information!
Studio cat stole one of my giant art erasers this morning, and he's been playing fetch with it for about an hour now. He looks pretty ridiculous carrying it around in his mouth.
I think this is my favorite of the all the tangerine still lifes I've done, maybe it's just that I love orange and blue together.
I decided I should add a few still life's for my upcoming show. I love when they're bright and simple, it makes them fun to paint, and fun to look at (at least I think so).
The rain finally took a break this morning, so I hurried outside to see if I could get a few photographs so I'll actually have something to post this week. Not the best, but at least it's something :)
This is one of my favorite kitchen towels, the blue stripes match my colander, timer, spatula...and everything else I have in that Martha Stewart blue color that Macy's sells :)
I love painting these bright little tangerines, and I love how they look next to our blue dishes. I find orange to be a tricky color to paint with (just how yellow is a tricky color) it's not always as opaque as I want it to be, but I think these little guys turned out all right.

I can't think of a whole lot to write about this one.... I wanted it to be simple and I wanted it to be colorful. And I love orange and blue together, so tangerines were an obvious choice :)
