Tart : oil painting | 8x10" | SOLD
Painting lemons seemed an appropriately fresh summer indulgence to fight the inclination to linger with yet another tall glass of something zesty; off on an adventure to the Plains of Mongolia with Genghis
The added benefit of painting lemons is that, should the afternoon take a more... relaxed turn, there is always a lemon handy in the fridge
Wow! - what a superb job the gallery did with the postcard promo
And I love the show title - it's just perfect
"Everyday Illuminations"

yellow onions : oil painting | 9x12"
This is what happens when the painting takes way too long! Mother Nature starts to add her own flourishes.
Thank you to everyone who made it out in the mizzling drizzle yesterday to the Montclair Museum Art Fair. As Sunday is not looking like a beach day either, stop by for half price admission to the museum and get a bit of culture instead.
The Affordable Art Fair will continue all day too, so you can see this fresh new painting in its lovely new frame - it's looking quite posh!
Revealed : oil painting | 9x12" | SOLD
How juicy sweet!
The Affordable Art Fair at the Montclair Art Museum, will be showcasing 25 local artists chosen to display their work and better yet - everything will be under $500 The perfect weekend to discover an emerging talent and pick up a bargain before they hit the big time.
I will have a whole booth of small oil paintings and , yes, there may be one of two juicy citrus paintings, but I might have to throw in an onion or two, just so you know it's really me.
Their terrific Warhol and Cars exhibit will be ending soon and admission to the special exhibition will be half price admission all weekend. PLUS they will be 12 vintage Cadiallacs parked around the museum for you to be inspired by the real thing.

Winter's Glow : oil painting : 5x7" | SOLD
I wasn't aware just how much citrus fruit got painted this winter - satsumas, tangerines, grapefruits...no wonder I stayed fit and healthy and sniffle free
Stop by Kitchen a la Mode this weekend to sample the fruits of this winter's citrus obsession
Now...what to paint next?... anyone fancy limes?

Alas - a previous engagement with a nephew in need of a squashing prevents me from attending this year's Studio Tour. I am sorry I won't be able to check out my friend Sarah Petruziello's brand spanking new studio, or to catch up with Jennifer' Takahashi's new large paintings, smile at Florence Wint's fabulous new collages or enjoy Joy Yagid's latest photos
Maybe you can take my place this year
Sunday June 5 11-5pm www.studiotoursoma.org/ Advance Tickets/Maps are available now
But even though I will not be posing as an honorary Maplewoodian this year, I will have work at two of the venues in downtown South Orange, perhaps making me an Honorary Orange-i-tang?
I would like to thank Ben from the very popular Kitchen a la Mode for clearing some space to show my kitchen and foodie flavored still life drawings and paintings. And when you are done there, take a hop over the road for a slurp of fresh squeezed lemonade at Stony's and sample the landscapes of local artists Annette Kushen, Denise Hardie, Elaine Durbach and yours truly of course.

Satsuma Spiral : oil painting | 7x5" | SOLD
This painting formed part of my winter citrus obsession, so strictly speaking not fresh off the easel.
But it got a lot of admiring comments last weekend at Art on the Avenue in Caldwell, and I realized it hadn't had it's turn in the spotlight.
So you can enjoy it "out of season"
Summer
It's nearly here....
apparently
In the mean time, here is a lovely memory of a picnic by the brook last summer. Just to remind me that I will soon be complaining that it is way too hot to think straight
