Sugar Shaker #2

"Sugar Shaker"
6" x 6"
Oil on canvas panel

Here is another in my series of shaker. Sugar shakers are made just like salt shakers—holes in the top, cork hole in the bottom, just larger.  These were crudely made items back in the 40's. Mostly utilitarian and for export from Japan.  The bottom of this one isn't very rough, but some are.  I've seen them with felt glued over the bottom, including the cork hole.  New felt with every fill? 

I painted this shaker, then chose the daisy colors to become the background colors.  One more shaker to come!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Brookside Garden #2

"Brookside Garden #2"
9" x 12"
Acrylic on canvas panel
I stood on a peninsula with water rushing by me, still in the sun, still hot.  The daisies were still nicely lit, so I began a second painting of them. 

As fast as I put down paint it dried. Like watercolor.  It left a texture. Like plaster. I felt like I was sculpting a painting rather than painting it. This was new to me. I loved it.

This painting will be listed with, and for purchase through a Dailypaintworks Auction. 

Thank you for visiting today.
