Digging Lemons by Mitzi Easley

This is a painting from a still life class last year - I'm bringing it back around for our "tool" theme this month. It's a perfect example of subjects I would never have thought to put together but when your brilliant teacher does it, voila! You walk into the studio and the set-up looks great - paint away! Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful (albeit dry) Texas spring.

02/28/11 Nancy's Magnolia

I took a photo of a magnolia blossom in my nephew's yard in N.C. several years ago. I had visions of just whipping this out in no time. HA!!!!! I struggled with the different colors inside of a white flower until I thought I'd scream! My fellow painter, Donna Page, told me that there is very little white in a white flower. No wonder it takes her months to paint one flower - of course she is a photo-realist - obviously, I'm not. This is why I don't paint too many flowers!
