Some scribbles for the sketch book inspired by a burgundy and white eggplant!

In about 10 days I am headed to San Miguel de Allende. I am so looking forward to being in this wonderful place full of romantic places as well as lots of color splashed around the city. Looking for inspiration for my next painting I was looking at my photos from last year. I so hope to do some drawing this time as well as taking photos. Drawing should certainly inspire a painting or two. These stone steps seem to lead to some hidden mysterious place that I would like to go to.

Painting of a drawing I had done. It was really fun to try and make this painting work as a painting. Not always easy. I am enjoying exploring new ways of expressing my vision.

Adding to the fruits I have been drawing is a new object. A tea cup. It caught my eye as I was drawing the pear and the candle holder so I thought why not. Fun to try and do something different.

A splash of color to liven up a little bit of fruit.

Just for fun. A splash of color surrounded by a field of black.

A painting that I started last year and it finally came together for me this week. I had seen something that a friend did and tried to recreate from memory. It has taken a while for it to become what I was hoping for but I am really pleased.
