"Three Little Figs" - SOLD


6x6" oil on Gessobord

Figs are hard to paint! That's all I'm gonna say about this one. I may be taking some time off from posting any new work. I've got some framing to do and I've got to get my life back in order. I've been posting for almost six months straight and it's taking its toll. My backyard looks like a field of wheat. I'm contemplating mowing some crop circles. My house is totally disorganized and desperately needs some exterior paint. The list is long, believe me. I need a break. Merci and I are heading to the mountains for a few days and I'm leaving my paints at home.

Figs may be hard to paint, but you have done a beautiful job of showing the color variations. I like your style of painting and will miss your posts and look forward to your painting return.

Don't step away too long, it's easy to let life get in the way of our passion; it's a hard juggle..

One of the secrets of painting happily is how to juggle life and painting! And, having fun w/ both! Great values in the figs. Love the title.

Great job on the figs. I'll miss seeing your paintings for awhile but the break will probably be good. Look forward to when you come back. Have a great trip!
