Persimmons for Diane

I hope that Thanksgiving was wonderful for everyone. I am very thankful for a special Thanksgiving, and birthday weekend, all at once! After all of this celebrating, I am also very thankful to return to painting. These persimmons were painted early this morning. Awhile ago, Diane White, another talented artist, and blogger friend, from Carol Marine's 2008 class, suggested that I paint some persimmons. Diane, I took your suggestion to heart. These are for you!

Three of a Kind

I finally had some time to get back to painting, during this past very rainy weekend. After not painting for awhile, I felt a little out of practice. This just means that I need to paint more. Looking forward to being able to have time to really focus in the new year!

Happy to be Painting

So glad to have some time to paint, finally. Here is a quick one of some pomegranate slices. I can see some things that I would like to change. I'll be posting a revised version soon. In the meantime, here we are!

Update, The Lovely Claudia

Here is a current photo of the Lovely Claudia. She is very camera shy, but as beautiful and sweet as ever. She has been growing, playing , and just doesn't stop with her cuteness!
