Little Pink Lollipop 5 in x 7 in Acrylic on wrapped canvas

SOLD

These small lollipops just made me laugh, big pink shiny hearts in a  little plastic bag. They were so loud that I decided it would be an insult to paint them on a pale background so pretty in pink it is

I have had a couple of requests to see my thumb nails for my more " classic " work I will post these tomorrow

" Bliss' Chocolate Candy bar 6 in x 8 in Acrylic

Mrs woods if you read this, this ones for you... After your comments about HDL to LDL ratios,

I decided all was well with the world and ate a whole bar of Nestle's crunch and after week's without chocolate it was heaven. I will also be following your expert recommendations and protecting my cardiovascular system with a good glass of red wine.

On the painting front this was interesting with regard to the shadows it took me a while to really grasp how the shadows transitioned from brown to blue grey under the chocolate bar

love You - (2) 6 in x 6 in Acrylic

Not For Sale

I sold the original of this painting last week. My other half was pretty disappointed he's a keen scrabble player and had grown attached to it. So I painted a copy for home, the colors are stronger but the sentiment remains the same.

On a lighter note the weather in Sunny CA has been hideous, wetter than Wigan, I trooped out this morning clad in long green
wellington boots armed with a four foot golfing umbrella. Nothing better than a bit of puddle jumping even at my age!

Little Red Lollipop ( 2) 6 in x 6 in Acrylic

Rock and Roll 6 in x 6 in Acrylic

I just love these old dice I think their from the 30's or 40's the colours are just wonderful.
I even love the way the white of the dots has gently yellowed.

Well it finally stopped raining and I'll put my wellingtons away for another year....

On the painting front well, it is nearly Valentines day! . These are british love hearts they are about the size of a quarter they have been making these in the north of England since the thirties. I am pretty sure they still use the same machine.
