Something funny is that 9x12 is a super standard size, but I've only done it ONE other time in my life! Haha.

I had a bag of grapes sitting in the fridge for many days with a note on it that said, "for painting." My son kept asking me if he could eat them, so I finally fit them in a couple of paintings. By the time I was done, they were too far gone to eat. : (

If you'd like to see this scene all set up in my studio and me almost done painting it, check out my Instagram page (swipe image of this painting).

Here's a simple one with some of my favorite subjects. Someone wrote to me once and suggested I "upgrade" to fancy things, like pewter spoons and fine china. No thanks. I actually prefer this kind of simple stuff. For painting and for my own use. Fancy has never appealed to me.

Here's a slightly bigger one that combines both the apples and flowers that I've been working on lately. I made the little vase with the knobbies on it, years ago. Starting next week I'll be taking another pottery class and hope to produce something else I can use in my still lifes. We'll see.
