Temptation
(Painting # 12)
6" x 6"
oil on canvas panel
Sold
Does desire lead to temptation, or is it the other away around? I've been thinking a lot about what an iconic symbol the apple is in our storytelling. Eve, Snow White, William Tell, Johnny Appleseed, to name a few, all had their part in weaving their tales into our collective consciousness.

(Painting # 11)
6" x 6"
oil on canvas panel
$175
A desire or a compulsion? I found a piece of bubble wrap under my workbench and shot a close up of it with my camera. I placed the wrap against a black background and moved the lights in close. This created a pattern that was very extreme in terms of values and abstraction. The patterns of the plastic allowed for a very fluid approach to painting, which was a lot of fun. I might make a larger version of this after 50/50.

Pie!
(Painting #9)
6" x 6"
oil on canvas panel
Sold
April makes these incredible fresh fruit pies all the time and this example is from one she baked on Sunday. I went thick and juicy on the paint, Theibaud style, on this one to capture the extreme yumminess of the slice that was soon devoured after it fulfilled its duty as my model.
