Ripe Berry
Ripe Berry
oil on gessoed cardboard, 3 x 3 inches, 2010
This may have been my fastest one yet. And I can't even see what it really looks like, because it was dusk when I started painting and after only about 15 minutes I dropped my brush and raced out the door to pick up youngest son from his after school activity. When I got home, night had fallen. I've never managed to set up good artificial lighting in my studio, and rely entirely on daylight. I may be in for a huge surprise in the morning! Well, never a dull moment when you are a painter.

Thank you both! But I have the feeling that in the harsh light of day I am going to be saying "oh no!"
Wow! Nancy, I love your beautiful paintings - I can't believe you work so fast!
