"The Gifts"

8 x 10
oil on hardboard

This painting is a set up of two gifts from friends. The stein was a surprise from an artist friend who knows I like to paint still life's and the peaches were given to my husband by a friend at church. The terra cotta rim around the stein seemed to be a perfect match with the peaches.Thanks, Angela and  Sandy.

  7. I don't know where I've been this week, I totally missed seeing this painting on my blog roll. I love this one, wow, you're so brave tackling that checked cloth, well done.

    You are most welcome, there's a lot more treasures where that came from!
