Pleasure from Painting fruits came as such a surprise!
My collectors feel the same way!
It all began when my husband bought me a mini fridge for my roses. He was tired of having me store my roses next to his food!
I put the fridge in my studio and ended up filling he fridge with fruits instead of roses….the roses remained in the main fridge much to his frustration!
My first lessons in oil were of fruits, but I became an oil painter because I wanted to paint roses and women in the most beautiful gowns.
This little fridge filled with fruits was an invitation to revisit past lessons and I became instantly enamored with painting fruits.
There is a certain sensuality that fruits embody and evoke. Very different from women and roses. It is almost intoxicating and yet, completely innocent at the same time, presenting a beautiful, paradoxical invitation.
In “Petals and A Pear" an exquisite still life unfolds, capturing the delicate dance between nature's bounty and the ephemeral beauty of roses. A luscious pear, its golden skin kissed by the gentle light, rests beside a cluster of blush pink roses. The contrast of textures—the smoothness of the pear against the soft, velvety petals—creates a visual symphony that speaks of the harmonious coexistence of elements. The play of light casts a warm glow, accentuating the subtle nuances of color in this captivating tableau. Each stroke on the canvas is a love letter to the serene union of fruit and flora, a celebration of nature's quiet elegance.

In "Sunshine Citrus Symphony," the canvas comes alive with the vibrant hues of two bright yellow roses, a radiant lemon, and the polished gleam of a silver cocktail shaker. The roses and their petals unfurling like golden notes in a sunlit melody. Nestled beside the shaker, the lemon adds a zestful burst of citrus, echoing the vivacity of a summer afternoon. The silver cocktail shaker, a beacon of elegance, mirrors the scene with a touch of sophistication. Together, these elements compose a visual symphony—a harmonious blend of nature's brilliance and the refined allure of a mixologist's artistry.

Within the smooth contours of a brandy snifter, a tableau of indulgence unfolds in "Ambrosial Elixir”. Plump strawberries, bathed in the soft glow of ambient light, rest like velvety jewels within the vessel's graceful curves. The glass, impeccably smooth, becomes a canvas for the interplay of shadows and highlights, accentuating the sensuous allure of the scarlet berries. This still life invites the observer to imagine the delicate dance of flavors and aromas, marrying the sweetness of strawberries with the sophisticated embrace of a smooth brandy snifter—a harmonious fusion of taste and visual elegance.

In "Solitude Serenade," a solitary pear, deep-hued grapes, and a lone rose petal engage in a poetic dance of elegance and quiet introspection. The pear, with its golden sheen, stands as a regal figure, while dark grapes gather around, like silent attendants in a royal court. A single, delicate rose petal, a testament to fleeting beauty, graces the composition, creating a visual sonnet of contrasts—light and dark, solitary and collective. The interplay of textures and colors invites contemplation, evoking a sense of solitary beauty wrapped in the embrace of its own serenade.
