French Purse and Blue Gloves


French Purse and Blue Gloves

I found this purse in an antique store. I dates back to around 1940. I placed it on wallpaper and drapes a pair of blue gloves on the opened purse. During the 40's women wore gloves and their handbag usually matched their shoes.

Eggplant, Persimmon and Brick


Eggpland and Persimmon

I picked these from my garden. I was interested in the smoothness of the objects contrasted with the roughness of the brick. The light is red and the shadows are blue-violet.

Study of a Radish #2


Study of a Radish #2
On Sale-$50.00 plus shipping

This is another study using transparent, translucent and opaque paint to create space. The foreground and hightlight is the only place where I have used white and thus opaque. The brown background is translucent to help it go back in space. And the radish is also translucent with cast shadows and form shadow areas painted in transparent paint.

Study of a Radish



Study of a Radish
On Sale-$50.00 plus shipping

This is a simple study using transparent, translucent and opaque paint  to create space. I am using transparent paint in the dark areas and the shadows. In the half tones I am using translucent paint and in the lit areas and highlight I am using opaque paint. The only place I have used white is in the lightest area of the foreground and in the highlight on the radish. Other light areas are created by thinning the paint or using a lighter paint.
