The title refers to the produce label on the Lime, it actually said Happy! Great lighting, shiny images and reflections are what usually motivate me to create a set up for a still life.

A Red Shoe Evening 11" X 14"
This Still Life was the last set up at our big family home on the front porch. It was a fair farewell to the home where we enjoyed raising our boys and welcomed grandchildren. It showcases many generations; my mother's circa 1940's red umbrella, My Welly boots, and my grandchildren's alligator Welly boots, with our colonial welcome pineapple ornament at our Blue door. Just looking at this painting makes me remember all the wonderful times had at this home. From Spring Easter Egg hunts to splashing in mud puddles! ;))

The red patent leather shoes in the piece were my daughter in law's, kicked off after a night out. The perfume bottles were a collection of new and antique ones in my stash and pearls were mine. Laid out to collect the reflections this painting had a life meant for someone's dressing room. Colored Pencil on hardboard, varnished and framed. $755

I just love a tea party don't you? This fun little stack up of a grandmother's teapot and family collection of cups represents many a party I have with my granddaughters. My grandmothers creamer in indigo blue glass brings back memories for me. And the girls love the sugar cubes, after all nothings more fun than letting them dissolve in warm tea.

An art trip to the Castello di Colognole in Greve, Italy for a plein air painting trip inspired the set up for this piece. I purchased red currants at the local market day and used some of the china in our flat. Set up on the granite window sill with the tuscan landscape rolling away was just what I wanted. This is colored pencil on watercolor paper, matted and framed. $985 It and can be yours by clicking the link to contact me to buy direct.
