Kumquats and Egg Cup

Well, it feels like ages since I did a small painting! I have been fighting a cold and it has made me stupid! It is hard to do a good painting when you are stupid and I would not think of boring everyone with the bad ones! This shows a bit of recovery, I think... perhaps because the egg cup is so jolly and because kumquats are always wonderful!

Trio

More flowers from Malibu. Now I see why everyone loves southern California! Today the sun was shining brightly as I was painting at Point Lobos but it was windy and cold. This makes me think of summer!

Kumquats & Demitasse

More Malibu citrus! Huge and delicious kumquats are so cheerful next to the blue and white cup. I think I may do a series. In the meantime, all the vitamin C laden fruits are curing my cough!

Sweet Peas

This is my great-grandmother's perfume bottle with an assortment of flowers (including sweet peas) from my friend in Malibu! They have spring down there already while up in Carmel, the winter winds are blowing down the chimney and our sweet peas are only a few inches high!

Big Lemon, Tiny Car

I have been painting flowers all day so this looked like a nice change. Of course, starting a painting at 10pm may not be the best idea! However, I had a lot of fun painting the tiny car!

Light the Way

Well, I thought this would be quick and easy but I guess that after a day of painting outside, my eyes were crossed! The whole thing took longer than I had planned and then I couldn't seem to take a photo that was both in focus and non-glare. arrgh! Anyway, after all that, I went out to walk the dog (with a flashlight, not a candle) and saw all the stars and the big dipper overhead... So it was worth staying up late finishing a painting and taking a photo of it if I could have such a nice nighttime walk!

Study In Lemon

Mr Bird is back! This time, he is standing next to an enormous Meyer Lemon from Malibu. Look at the beautiful leaves on that lemon!
