Another little candy study....I like the way this type of candy kind of "glows" in the light.

Which are your favorite? Mine would have to be peanut.
I can't believe how many different kinds of M&Ms are on the store shelves these days! The pretzel ones are pretty good, but I'll have to stick with peanut as my favorite.

This was a fun one to paint. The shapes and sizes of the peanut M&Ms vary, so it made it a little extra challenging. I'm thinking about doing a small series of 5x7 paintings of candy. I will probably do a few of these little ones as studies to look at compositions and decide if I'm going to go ahead and do some a little larger.

This piece will be available at West Village Provisions in Boxford, MA through the month of February.

Wandering Vine

4x4 inches

This is one of those paintings that I am finding hard to declare "done". I feel like I can just keep glazing more and more color on those grapes. I think it is time to step away.....

I love the way that fickle little vine just kind wanders around these solid grapes kind of aimlessly. I wanted to try to capture a bit of the translucent nature of the grapes too. Grapes are a tough subject. But I keep coming back to them because there is so much to work on.

Lots of deadlines and events coming up....I'd better get painting! But tonight is the opening for the Winter Warmup show at MiXtMedia - can't wait to see my work hanging in the gallery!
