January 17, 2026 — Elaine O.

We're well into the new year, and I'm running out of excuses for not painting. So, here's the start of a painting of a lovely wedding (actually, this will be a color/value study).

12" x 9"

Other than that, not much going on. I'll have to replace my mailbox. I woke up one morning to find it hanging off the wall with a pried-open top. What's going on with the mail in this area?!! 

11" x 8"

On a brighter note, there were some really delicious pears on sale.

approx. 4" x 3"

  1. If I was her I would be asking him what's so damn funny. But she has a bouquet at the center of the image and a wedding gown to background it and all the little touches are in place awaiting the completion and I all signs are good.

  2. Always do a pear.
    Nothing wrong with the mail, but there is something wrong with your mailbox.
    I think the wedding could be wonderful.

  3. The wedding painting looks so much better in person! It’s kind of washed out here…can’t wait until you get the orange walls in! Love the mailbox pic, especially all the color and detail behind it. And the pear is sublime— what is it about a simple pear? You’ve really captured its beauty and ordinary-ness in this little masterpiece…

  4. I like the wedding with just a subtle but unmistakable reference to a church. Will have to wait and see what he’s resting his arm on.
