Standing tall a bundle of local asparagus.  I replaced the purple rubber bands 

with red ones for a more colorful composition. I love painting reflections on glass.

Fresh strawberries in a vintage Buffaloware berry bowl.

I love using vintage dish towels with stripes!

I use hardboard panels that I gesso myself and then tone with either yellow oxide or 

Raw Sienna acrylic. The golden tones show through the thinner areas of paint

 and add a warm dimension. I've tried other colors like gray, burnt sienna or black

 (definately never white) but didn't like the results.
