682 Little Rose

636 Magnolia in a Jar

I have an assortment of vases but I just love a flower in a jar. 

619 Italian Pepper Mill

sold

I bought this little pepper mill nearly 30 years ago at a church bazaar. I remember that day clearly. They wanted a quarter for it. I bargained hard and got it for a nickel. I pointed out that it was old and some of the paint had worn off (It used to be red, green, and ochre.) It was the best bazaar ever. I got tons of stuff. This pepper mill is the last thing I still have from that day. The paint has mostly warn off but the brass bits are still perfect and best of all it's the best grinder of all the ones I've tried. It's also special because it's made in Italy.

618 Darling Duo

I found this sweet pair of salt'n pepper shakers at the local consignment store yesterday and just had to paint them. Sorry about the rain drops on the painting. It was spitting a bit and I couldn't wait to take the photo.UPDATE: I just learned that these birds are King Fishers and not ducklings. The title was originally Darling Duckling Duo.

613 Lady's Hat Island, Metchosin

SOLD

Lady's hat Island is called that because when the tide is low this little island is shaped like a lady's hat.  Pardon the rain drips (I photographed it this morning. It's spitting a little).

612 Pears Dreaming

Next to the apple pears must be the most painted fruit in the world. Well, in my studio they'e the most painted fruit. Look, I caught them dreaming. I did this before the last one but couldn't hold off on posting that one.
