For fruits' sake
Acrylic on birch panel
5 x 7 inches

We had a great dinner tonight with friends.Lots of animated discussion about art. I
understood vividly that when you're making art
you think very differently about it, than
when you are a collector.
This small study of nectarines and one
lemon in a glass bowl, helped me relax
because I am working on something so
slow and painstaking that I needed the
freedom of a small painting.
Plus I want to eat a nectarine, and made
a deal with myself. I could eat one, when
I finished the painting. So I did this
painting for fruits' sake.
Have a loving-the-summer day.

Hi Sally,
Thanks so much. It isn't so much painstaking as slow. When it's done it will look as lose as the small ones, it's just more canvas! I love your work and you know it!
XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
