Day 11: Bowl with Eggs

Well, tonight I thought that I would set up something "simple" and make a pretty little painting, ha! Was I in for a surprise. Eggs, how lovely and tedious painting oval shaped white things, but mostly I just worked, reworked, drew and redrew the bowl,

Day 10: Afternoon on the Railroad Tracks

This afternoon I wasn't quite sure what I was going to paint, so I started driving towards the lake in Mt. Dora. I just began winding around all the little back roads near the lake and crossed over the railroad tracks, and saw this place,

Day 4: Reading Chair

You know that place in your house where no one really goes or hangs out unless you have company? Maybe this place doesn't exsist in your house, but it always did in mine growing up. This place, also known as the living room, has always

Day3: Grapfruit Tree at the Greenhouse

This tree supposedly has the most heavenly grapefruits, although I wouldn't know first hand as the employees at the greenhouse devoured them long ago! I just love seeing this tree in the afternoon light in contrast to the greenhouse, there's something beautifully striking about the
