Pomegranate Shadow


Out of all pomegranate paintings, I love the ones with skin cuts showing tiny juicy seeds inside.... I plan on painting more pomegranate halves in the future. It is a lot of fun to paint them! Hope you enjoy this one!

Pomegranate in a Bowl

I always wanted to paint a pomegranate with a little cut in the skin, and show some seeds shyly peeking... So as an experiment, I bought one pomegranate, made a little cut in it, and arranged a few still life set-ups. They all looked good to paint! So I painted some! So far this one is my absolute favorite! :)

Cherries on Laced Cloth

 
I decided to paint these cherries for two reasons. First, I love painting cherries :) And second, my grandma had linen and cotton cloth on every piece of her furniture. I absolutely adored looking at them! It is hard to believe it now, but they were hand-made by her, including the most intricate designs! Most of them are gone now, but I brought a few to the US with me. So I used it for this cherry set-up. I hope you would love this painting in your home. You definitely get a piece of my heart with this painting.

This painting is made on a 5x5x1/8 inch Ampersand archival museum quality gesso board using professional grade acrylic paint.

Strawberry Trio

I really love this strawberry trio. It reminds me of my carefree childhood. I would pick up a bunch of strawberries, wash them and eat them while reading my favorite O'Henry's short stories outside.
This piece was a joy to paint!

A Bowl of Red Apples

 
Apples are my favorite fruit! I eat a lot of them. Every time I go to the grocery store to buy a bag of apples, the cashier asks me if I am going to make an apple pie. No, I say, I eat them just like that. Usually, after I say this, people in the line gasp... lol maybe because I buy a big bag of apples. Somehow I always try to squeeze a lot of apples into one bag.... :) And sometimes I buy two bags.... :) One time something funny happened. I just finished explaining that I eat them raw, when the lady in line behind me looked at me, and told her husband, "That's it! I am eating apples starting tomorrow!" :)
 
The painting is 9x12x0.5' on stretched canvas. Acrylic.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry


I've always wanted to paint a chocolate dipped strawberry, but never had a photo that inspired me. Recently, we had a new tiny store opened in our outlet mall, and their chocolate covered strawberries look so yummy! I bought some and took pictures. I love chocolate glaze with a hint of Alizarin in it!
At frist I made the background dark grey with lighter grey mottling on the sides, but then I changed it and made the sides black. I think it really pops the chocolate strawberry up!

The painting is made on 6x6x1.5', acrylic on gallery wrapped (deep profile) canvas.

Halved Strawberry

 
My 13-year-old daughter loves fruit salad in the morning. I mix all sorts of fruit that I can find in my refrigerator. One morning I was cutting fruit, and I noticed that strawberries have a very cute heart-like shape inside. I carefully cut one with the stem and the still life composition was ready to paint!
 
Hope you enjoy this one!

Pear Reflection
 
I love photographing pears reflecting on the wall. The reflections are interesting creatures that sometimes seem to live their own life:)

Three Tart Cherries
 
As much as I love painting on stretched canvas, sometimes storing a lot of canvas paintings can be tricky. That's where Ampersand Gesso boards come handy. They are flat 1/8' archival museum quality canvas boards and very easy to store! I just sew a nice felt case for it on my sewing machine, and store the painting safely on the shelf till it finds a nice home! :)

Its been a long time since I painted pomegranates, so I decided to paint one.
The seeds were a lot of fun to paint! Maybe I should paint a pomegranate slice.
This one is 8x8', acrylic on canvas.
