This is a change of pace, quickly painted out of my head. Is it really Queen Anne's Lace?  In red? I was thinking about QA's L at the time but the colors and shapes just did their own thing.  I had fun with it!

I've reverted to apples. They are red, they are round, they never fail to make a lovely picture.  

Frozen Charlotte is a little ceramic victorian doll that told the story of careless, disobedient Charlotte, who despite her mother' pleading, refused to wear her coat to a fancy party. As her mother predicted, a snowstorm came and Charlotte froze to death. 

Charming story, isn't it? :) 

I've seen lots of these dolls on  Pinterest lately and somehow they piqued my interest. So here are a few paintings.

This one is an exercise board.  If I'm having trouble with a subject, because it's too complicated, or I'm making it too complicated, I do tiny images.  All the detail has to be eliminated and the fundamentals are revealed.

This antique bottle I found buried in my garden.  I love the way the uneven glass distorts the line behind it.
