Time for Tea

It was time to do a still life just to change things up a bit. As an avid tea drinker this just hit the spot.

Jewels of the Sea

There are many ways of doing still lifes so I took some shells to the beach and created a still life of my favorites.

Retired

On the side of Hudson Road was an old pick up truck that had been left in the weeds. My husband was a mechanic so this seemed like a good idea.

Patterns

Because I paint from photographs that I have taken I decided to take a photography class to better hone my skills. As part of the class I'd been taking pictures of this conch shell in various settings around my house. The photo that caught my eye was one I'd taken on a quilt on my bed. I was fascinated by the patterns in the shell against the patterns in the quilt...thus the name.
