“Unlikely Kiss”
6 in x 8 in, oil on wood
The flying frog swooped down to kiss the swan gourd. This is the same gourd from last week, of course, but she’s getting more whimsical.
Comments appreciated.

“Balancing Act”
8 in x 6 in, oil on wood
Here she is again, in primary colors. That’s a little red apple on her head (from the box of apples our friend Ananda gave us from her orchard). The gourd is actually sitting on top of a duck-shaped cookie cutter, sitting on it’s side, to keep the gourd more or less upright. I played with the background a bit, so that it has a watery effect but you can see a window behind the apple. Hm!
This is the same gourd from yesterday, of course, but she’s getting more impressionistic today as I am getting more familiar with her.
Comments are welcomed.
“Yellow Swan Gourd II”
8 in x 6 in
I really like this little gourd. I painted it here on a blue cloth, so that it would stand out more. Looks a little like she’s floating. This has similar blues to Walk With Dad painting.
“Yellow Swan Gourd”
7″ x 5″
Available in my Etsy store.
I was feeling silly and painted this yellow and green swan shaped gourd on top of a bright orange polka-dot cloth. You’ll be seeing more of this gourd. Maybe next time she’ll be trying to fly.
On a personal note, yesterday I went back to the opthamologist for a followup, and politely asked for a new doctor that would listen better. The new doctor was great, he listened and looked a lot harder and found that I have pars planitis of the middle eye; ”snowballs” of debris blocking my vision – something that’s permanent and basically untreatable. I will have ‘flare ups’ but will hopefully also have periods where it’s fine too.
I’m actually pretty relieved that it’s just an eye issue – the little bouts of feeling blind while I could see were making me think something much worse was wrong. The doctor called that “after image.”
My vision right now is like looking at a really dirty mirror. So my little flashes of blindness make sense, and I suppose all the glare is because the light is reflecting off the snowballs…
Oh well.
8×6, oil on canvasboard. I’m having a hard time finding time this week with a crazy nap and sleep schedule…
6×6, oil on wood. Three garlic bulbs leaning left. I love the shimmery skins of these.
My painting arrived today and it is even better than I had hoped for! I love the way you mounted it in an offset shadow box frame~~ It sets off the painting perfectly!!
