Gloria Jean's

This is a painting I did for my Cousin Shae of her canning.  She raised the vegetables herself.  Of course its not for sale.  This was all done free hand, and was very time consuming.  Its not something I would normally do because of that.  It took weeks to finish.  For a close up click on the pictures.  Below are cropped areas of the same painting.

Trying to paint with limited strokes is not easy for someone who tends to get too detailed.  This was an apple challenge.

Not having done any painting, I was about to go to bed when I decided to use some left over paint from yesterday and spend only 30 minutes on a painting.

The signature on my paintings will be the G and J combined initials you see here and I will sign them with “Gloria Jean” on the back.

This apple was painted from life using the set up pictured here.  I started with a black background.  I used black gesso on the Raymar canvas board.

I paid ten cents more per pound for white onions simply because they looked so white and pristine.  I decided they would be a subject for a still life. $45.00  Contact Me to purchase.

I found three pears in the refrigerator and set them on my printer and just started painting with a bigger brush than I needed. I did not like the painting at first, and almost decided to smear it out and start over, but I finally got it to where I decided to keep it.

I wanted to paint something white and found this bar of soap in a dish.  I painted it from life, then I thought it needed something else so I added the toothbrush.  For some reason, after I finished it,  I thought of something my mother used to always say to me when I said a curse word. .  ”Go wash your mouth out with soap.”  I thought of that for the title of the painting, but decided against it.
