Ellie, May 2011
16" x 20" Oil on Canvas

In May, I painted a rose I received at church on Mother's Day.  When I was finished, I wiped my canvas clean and took a break.  I had just decided not to paint anything, when my husband suggest I paint one of my elephants. (I have a small collection of elephant figures around my house.)  I chose one my grandmother gave me and started working.  This will hang in Talula's room for now, but I thought it worth sharing.

Three Little Pears

Three Little Pears, March 2011
 10" x 10" Oil on Canvas

While yard saleing (a great place to find still life subjects) in March with my mother,  I happened across this vase and knew it would make it into a painting.  It was my first attempt at painting glass.
