Brown Eggs

Brown Eggs

5 x 10

oil on canvas



I enjoyed reproducing the unique, rich color of the eggshells. I kept the composition simple to focus on the eggshells themselves. They also made for a tasty snack after I finished painting!

Tomato Pincushion

Tomato Pincushion

oil on board

7 x 5

I've been wanting to paint this one for a while - I always liked the tomato pincushion. It seemed like everyone's mom had one, and when I moved out on my own and had my own sewing kit - I had to have one too!

We Shall Be Changed

We Shall Be Changed

Oil on Canvas

22 x 28

This painting is not a "true" daily, in terms of what I have been posting, as it was completed over two days. This was created for the Visual Arts Ministry exhibition for our church to celebrate Easter. This was the first time that all members were to paint the same thing - every piece of art had to include the image of the cross. This exhibition will be on display from March through May. The photo is not the best, as it was freshly varnished, so a little bit of glare is evident.
