Fab Four by Judy Crowe
Pear Family, "Still Life Fruit" oil painting, Marina Petro
1.5" gallery wrapped canvas, painted around all sides
Keeping with yesterday's family/fruit theme....here is another family portrait...pears this time. I was very happy to have found the baby yellow pear with leaf still attached. This would make a great "new baby" gift...at least I think it would...

Johnson's Garden
Pastel painting 9 inches x 12 inches $100
Saturday morning I visited the same beautiful home where I did the watercolor painting, "Garnet's Potting Shed," which I posted a few days ago. This time I wanted to try a pastel garden painting of the luscious grounds.
Much as I may want to create a painting that is all flowers, I am always drawn to the architecture in a scene. I like to take the strong, structural lines of buildings and play them against the organic flow of landscape, or in this case, flowers and shrubs. I walked to the other side of the shed and really liked the view. The small shed was in deep shadow but some of the plants were lit by almost psychodelic sunlight. Just the type of subject I like for plein air painting!

KMD2667 Gleaming in the Shadows by Kit Hevron Mahoney
I couldn't resist this scene from my trip to Crested Butte. Pat and I were resting over a cup of iced coffee in a perfectly lush and restful garden provided by a coffee house in town where this cart was part of the garden and magical atmosphere. We were relaxing at the end of a hot day of photographing every wildflower in sight. (We were tired as there were flower scenes in every direction one could see and we attempted to capture them all. I'm still sorting through the pictures!

The Paper Place
I was like a cat in a fishery :)
The cherry on the cake was to spot my Galison 'Thank You' cards in the shop!
Oh! I almost forgot that I ate my first ever macaron from Nadège,
across the street from The Paper Place.
We had the salted caramel and it was delicious!
Thank you Margie for being such a wonderful tour guide.

The acrylic is applied thinly in layers, like watercolor.
I painted this as the last painting for The Flying Moleskin project. This is going to Vern Schwarz, a very accomplished artist with whom I have had many email conversations. He is an all around great fellow and I'm proud to call him a friend.
Yes, sadly, this is the last one and finishes TFM project. All in all it has been a wonderful experience conspiring and transpiring with a great bunch of artists! I love ya all!
Get ready, Vern...This is heading home to you!

Margie's Magical Garden
I have a really hard time finding words to describe
how beautiful my friend Margie is inside and out.
I think the wild exquisiteness of her garden is a perfect reflection of her.
I hope you are inspired by all of this as much as I was.
I left a little piece of my ♥heart♥ in Ontario..
Love you M. Lets meet again soon, eh? :)
This Week
I've been working on this piece this week...
... a huge hunk of unframed canvas, but I've been thinking about this piece that I painted years ago called, "Redefining Pink".
In Redefining Pink and other pieces of that time, I was working my way through the girly color palette I had loved as a child, trying to bring it into a more adult, sophisticated realm so I could begin using it in my work. All these years later, I'm still painting with that same color palette.
Do you have a favorite palette you return to again and again?
Happy weekend!
