 Today is my daughter Wendy's Birthday. WE will see her today in Austin and celebrate with her and her husband. She is very loved.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!!!!

This still life is part of my study in still life paintings. I am learning some new techniques.  I started with a very textured dark background. I let that dry and drew my sketch.  I painted the pear and everything behind first.  IF you look close you can see all the textures.  I hope you like the painting as much as I do.

Pansies in a can is my latest still life.  I love how this just flowed for me. It is lovely in person and I hope you can see that. Pansies are such sweet flowers and remind me of my Aunt Leona.  She always had pansies in her flower beds.   It is funny how such memories are priceless.
