What's Cooking in the Studio - April 2018

As mentioned, I have been painting with guache to make pieces for the online auction in August. This project happened to coincide with the blooming of two orchids in my studio. So, of course, I had to make a few paintings of them. More info coming as the auction gets closer.

Peanut Buster Parfait or Not

I have been working on my next Obsessions painting - this is the first layer of paint. The working title on this one is Don't Leave Me. Yes, it is an empty peanut buster parfait cup with a red plastic spoon in it. The text written in the background are the words"Don't Go." I really appreciated setting up this still life - eating just enough of the fudge so you can still see some but still see through the cup. It was hard work! I hope to finish this painting in the next week.

Botanical Prints

My studio has been littered with prints as I have been busy this last week making 100 prints of my trillium painting for the Minnesota State Horticultural Society. This is an annual project helping them with their annual fundraiser. The original painting is auctioned off at their spring fundraising dinner and signed prints are available to members of a certain level.
