Tulips, 5x7, Oil on board

# 14 Tulips

There are many wonderful things about this challenge. I get to try new things, explore the light, and my husband buys me flowers to paint. These are the most beautiful tulips I have ever seen, so I put them on the back porch and painted them.

This is Tulips, 5x7, Pastel

My other cat, Burbank, is persistant about getting onto my desk when I am working. I have to draw the line somewhere...so I have a footstool that I put next to my easel for him to lay on. I glanced over at him and saw the way the light was hitting him and painted this. This is Burbank, 5x7, Oil on cradled board.

# 12 Origami Cat

This is my cat, Suki. She sits almost as still as fruit and Hershey kisses.

#6 Escapee

There is a local feed store, Martie's, run by Beth and Rusty. I absolutely love these guys, they make me laugh every Saturday when I pick up my corn, sunflower seeds and peanuts. (We have very happy birds and squirrels) They sell fresh eggs right from the ones that they own and I am so spoiled by them, I will never eat a store bought egg again. This is from my weekly Sunday morning Huevos Rancheros that I make for my husband.

#5 Quail

There is a wonderful bird farmer I met online and she raises many different kinds of birds. I was intrigued to use her eggs in this challenge, so I bought a few of all of what she had available. She poked holes in these and blew them out for me and I will do as many of them as I can before I tire of painting eggs!!!

#4 Lobster

Not completely happy with this one yet. I may go in and tweak a few things. I am working on black gesso board which I have never done, I love it, but it does add a different look to my usual work.

#2 Salsa

Number 2 down. One of the wonderful things about this challenge is that I can set up my still life, paint it, and then eat it!!! Not a bad deal. Still life is something that I have not done much with, but I am always looking for a challenge.

#1 Cheers

This is the first of my paintings in the challenge. It was a bit ambitious, I will admit. Maybe the next one won't be so shiny and have so many straight lines.
