Small but Not Easy

Three Tomatoes  oil on claybord 5×7″  $100

Here’s the latest in my kitchen series.  I can’t believe how much longer it sometimes takes me to do a tiny still life than to slap down a landscape!  The tomatoes were pretty much finished before I was.  I did a grisaille underpainting for this one because when you paint something red it’s hard to lighten it afterward without making the light parts too pink.  Anyway, I had fun with it.  That’s a box top the butter dish is resting on.

Knitting Group

Filed under: Life in Vermont — miasmagladness @ 10:51 am

Our wonderful postmaster has made the post office something of a community center.  There’s coffee, often sweets,  art by local painters, and several women who meet weekly to knit.   I wish I knew how so I could join this jolly group. ( I guess if you grow up in south Georgia where it’s too hot for wool people just aren’t as into knitting.)
