"Buddies"

My oil painting blog has been all about the pears lately,

so I thought I'd follow suit right here. These cozy little

fruit friends tucked away on a festive plate make me happy.

Had a great first class yesterday with a LARGE group of painters.

We were tightly squeezed into the room, but everyone got a

spot, paint and water to do some fun, colorful florals. I had

raided the local farmer's market and various other flower shops

for a wide variety of blossoms to use as inspiration!
