"54 Strokes" By Kelli Miller SOLD

Last year I went to Carol Marine's workshop. Which was fantastic by the way! She had us count our brushstrokes. That way each stroke had a purpose. It was a great lesson for me. So, this little pear was done in 54 brushstrokes. :)

What do you do when your daughter graduates college, moves across the country, thus making you a true empty nester? Paint her portrait of course! I snapped this picture of her last month when we were in Disney Word visiting my other daughter, Anna, (she works there). And now EMily works there too!

I typically don't paint people. This is maybe my 5th or 6th attempt. I still don't know how I did it.

A fellow artist gave me this Angel. I have put her in several of my larger still life paintings. But I thought she deserved to be the star of the show!

"Trio"

This trio of fruit nearly painted itself!

"Racing Apples" by Kelli Miller

Don't these apples look like they are in a race?

"Come Back Here" by Colorado Artist Kelli Miller

Oh how I love to paint apples. These three guys are friends but had a little misunderstanding. Hence the title. Not to worry, all is well with them now.
