Spring Bloom

Here is a small painting I did of a cherry tree in bloom. Everything is exploding with color right now in Asheville, and it is very inspiring to paint.

Little Pumpkin

Here is a small painting of a mini pumpkin from last fall. The format for this is the same as the bug series. It's oil on paper, with a single subject, no clutter. Sometimes I do a painting like this as an exercise in simplicity. There is something about the plain white background and a simple object that is easy on the eyes.
