Paris Window
 
Paris Window
8x10   Oil
 
Obviously, I love blue shutters as this is the at least the third painting I've done with blue shutters and I'm sure it won't be the last.  As you already know, I love bright colors and the vine wrapping around the window and the stucco walls gave me plenty of opportunity to pour on the color.  Hope you are all enjoying the colorful flowers this summer.  With all the rain we've had, the flowers are beautiful and the grass is green.
 
Thank you for your comments on my paintings.  I appreciate your interest in my art.  It keeps me reaching for a higher goal.  I appreciate each and every one of you!  Have a great week!

Darien Shrimp Boat

Darien Shrimp Boat
8x8  Oil
 
When we were in Darien, Georgia sometime back, I fell in love with this old shrimp boat.  Love the rust on it and beautiful turquoise color making such strong reflections in the water.  When we went back a few weeks ago, it was not there--probably out to sea harvesting all those delicious Georgia white shrimp.  I plan on painting this boat again. 
 
Have a great summer weekend!

Watermelon Time

Watermelon Time
Oil   5x7
 
We're in the heat (literally) of the good ole summertime, and you know what means--watermelon time!  I love painting watermelons because of the beautiful colors in the flesh and rind of the melons.  I decided to go pinker on this one than it was in reality--just wanted a pink composition.  Another granddaughter chose this painting for her collection.  Girls sure do like pink.  Have a great summer vacation!
 
Thank you for visiting today.

Cupcake with Umbrella

Cupcake with Umbrella
Oil   5x7
 
Sometime back I noticed a lot of cupcake paintings on several artist websites.  I liked the idea of  painting a yummy treat, and decided I would put lots of frosting on mine and add this cute little pink umbrella.  One of our granddaughters is the proud owner of the cupcake painting.  Nothing escapes the paintbrush around the Baker household.  Hope you enjoy.
 
I appreciate your visit and your interest in my art.
