new paintings

I did this little pear on a plate right after I set up my still life box just to test it out. Since then I have been doing some landscapes but will return to the still lifes soon. I think one of the best things about being a "starving" artist is that you just follow your own muse and paint what speaks to that inner being-I guess your soul. So I do a still life then a landscape or what ever feels right to me at the time. Don't mean to get cheesy about it, but just discovered an artist that just blew me away. A customer brought one of his paintings to the frameshop and I was stunned with the color. His name is Jeremy Mann-California artist. Google his site-Fantastic!
