Milk Bottle with Tangerine, 7" x 7" , oil on canvas






















This is another milk bottle painting. This bottle is actually a quart size, although the perspective I painted it from makes it look like a pint and a half. I should call it pint and a half with tangerine. I struggled with this image to find the area of interest and dominance. The tangerine is obvious, but I prefer what lies in the shadow areas.

Pink Rose in Creme Bottle, 9" x 10"

Today I wanted to paint a beautiful rose to symbolize my love for painting and the life that I have. Pink is the known as the color of unconditional love and I wanted to express that feeling today. To love the self unconditionally is a challenge in this life. Without this love of self how can one love others. To Love and To Life!
