Hope

"Hope" 24" x 24" Oil and Acrylic on wrapped canvas

January is a time of regrouping, renewing and becoming who we want to be, for whatever reason. It's a contemplative time, a meditative time and a time to give up or re-up. 

I spent today making this large painting filled with imagery and symbolism in honour of those of us who are in flux, in quandaries or just plain sick (and tired).  Give it your best shot, darlings! There's hope. Spring is within reach.

Love to all who ... struggle,
Carol

Cheetah Pears

"Cheetah Pears" 6" x 6" Oil on canvas panel

I found these two snuggling on my polar fleece cheetah scarf that I wear when I paint. I was given one, and bought the other with the intention of eating it.  They looked so cozy together I decided to let them finish their cuddling and eat them... later. 


I enjoyed this quick study of the two different kinds of pears. The skin on the red one was cherry red with very little yellow in it except where the reflected light from the yellow pear hit. Their unique stems delighted me too.

Thank you for visiting today.
