The apple was really fat and colorful. I like it with the fig, lemon and lavander bottle. The gird is doing fun and interesting things.

Fresh figs from the Monterey Market in Berkley are lush and plump. I decided to add a little color to all the objects and see how I like it. I like it. More to come. Now that I have finished reading my marathon book of the summer London there is time and inspiration for lots of other things.

A close up of the objects.

I am really enjoying this little still life. Something new and different for me. Usually I am drawing or painting one object-having more than one object is kind of fun.

Leftovers from last nights dinner. A cut lime, a sprig of rosemary and a bottle of lavender all sitting out on the cutting board this morning just waiting to be captured in a drawing. So as nervous was I was at trying to capture the sprig of rosemary I just did it and here is the end result.

Another grey, black and white project. This yellow cornflower was just waiting to be painted. It really is black and white shades!

Grey House

This weeks art adventure was to take a workshop on color. Our first project was doing a grey scale which I usually don't like at all because it is hard. The instructor made making this scale very easy so it was not as frustrating. I loved making the different greys. The next day while golfing I drew a small pic of a little house while I was was

waiting to play. Yesterday I was itching to push the paint around and play with the greys so I combined the art adventure with the golf adventure. I like doing little houses anyway and this was a great opportunity.

When I photographed this painting it was still wet so I think that is why you see the brush strokes. Fun fun.
