I'm having a wonderful time painting large still life's for a restaurant project. I have been used to doing smaller work when painting still life, and hadn't quite adjusted to the windowsill arrangement in my new (two years !) studio. Heather has given me a jump start, inspiration wise, as this project has a very short deadline. no time to second guess myself. My family and friends are helping take care of me so I can do this, and I appreciate them.

my patron has asked to see some work that is abstract, vibrant, hip, contemporary. She said to "think fruit." I'm really enjoying this challenge, even if I'm cheating the abstract part, just a little:)
