Pears ala Cezanne

There is nothing like pure color to get you out of a funk when you are a painter.  I have been playing around with alcohol inks lately and doing a lot of abstract which is all color.  I have been enjoying it but I wanted to do a quick little oil with some definite shape but still mostly color.  I immediately thought of Cezanne and how much I love his work. 
One photo is the finished piece and the other shows the photo I was working from.
Here is a little 5x7 homage to Cezanne.

New Beginnings

Recently my niece had her long awaited first baby, a little boy named Josiah.  I wanted to make something for his room that she would like and he would like looking at as he got older.  I did this little collage of a ewe and her lamb.  To me they symbolized new beginnings in the sweetest way. Here is to new beginnings.
