Grapes and Figs

It has been cool and rainy here today. As I started this painting, the light was so soft and gray. I really tried to focus on capturing the quietness of the light and the mood. Rainy days are my most favorite.

I hope you're having a wonderful week!

The past few months, I have been posting a few process shots (see below) of my paintings on Instagram.  It is fun to get feedback from the creative community there, and it is even more fun to see all of the wonderful artwork that is posted.  If you are using Instagram, I would love to follow you.  And if you would like to follow my posts, my ID is d_mcdowell.

Have a great weekend!

Morning Sunshine and the Traveling Chicken

SOLD

I hope this note finds you all enjoying a wonderful week.  I am still painting persimmons here.  And figs.  I did have a little excitement here yesterday.  The Traveling Chicken and her glamorous entourage arrived!  While I've been slaving away in the studio, they've been basking in the warm fall sunshine and enjoying their morning tea.  We're scheduled for a portrait session later today, so I'll keep you posted!

I loved painting these little figs.  The market is chock-full of delights this time of year, isn't it?  I'm looking forward to the holidays!

Have a great Thursday!
