G is for Gum Drops

G is for Gum Drop
part of my alphabet series of paintings.

Gumdrops are a type of confectionery (candy). They are usually brightly-colored gelatin- or pectin-based pieces, shaped like a truncated cone and coated in granulated sugar. Gumdrops come in (usually artificial) fruit and spice varieties; the latter are also known as spice drops. They are often used for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Around Christmas time this candy is a key ingredient in making gingerbread houses.
In the USA, National Gumdrop day is February 15. This is a day where all gumdrop lovers can join together and appreciate the sugary candy.
The Apollo 9 Command module was called Gumdrop, on account of the blue cellophane wrapping in which the craft was delivered. Christmas is a good time to enjoy the spicy ones.

Giving Thanks

This is a great time of year to give thanks for everything that you have. We are celebrating Thanksgiving in America, which is one of my favorite holidays. It is my favorite because it is focused on spending time with family and friends and being thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving;
full of family, friends, food, and of course, LOVE.
I am so thankful for everything in my life. Blessings to you all....

Here are some famous quotes for you:

Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." Mark Twain


"It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so." Seneca


Hopi Elders' PrayerHold on to what is good, Even if it is a handful of earth.Hold on to what you believe, Even if it is a tree that stands by itself.Hold on to what you must do, Even if it is a long way from here.Hold on to my hand, Even when I've gone away from you.Hold on to what is good.Hold on to what is good.Hold on to what is good.




All the best for a Happy Thanksgiving!

E is for Eggplant

E is for Eggplant

Eggplant got it's name in the 18th century because it was thought to resemble goose or chicken eggs. Yes, eggplants do come in white but why would you want a white one when you can have this wonderful pendulous purple one?

About This Painting:
E is for Eggplant. Eggplant,tomatoes,and a green bean some great vegetables for a daily painting. I love Eggplant. When I was a little girl my great grandfather would plant eggplant just for me. Now you know I was always a little crazy. At the age of four I was in love with the shape and dark purple almost black color of the vegetable. Who's says, kids don't like there vegetables? I love this one. Daily painting number 219.

Alphabet Series of Kitchen Art

C is for Cupcake

D is for Dessert

D is for Dessert

These are the two latest paintings in my alphabet series of kitchen art.

If I am not painting everyday. I feel that I lose my momentum. I have so many ideas: so many things I want to paint. These small daily paintings I do give me a feeling of accomplishment. The large paintings take weeks to be complete but these little gems are the bright spot in my day.

A New Series

I am creating a new series of small paintings. They will be small 6x6 and 6x12 paintings with a central theme of kitchen items food,vegetable,fruit, and utensils. Prices at $100.00 each. I will be posting paintings here as I complete them. They will start with the alphabet A-Z in the title and who know where they might go after that. The first in the series is A is for Apple.

I love doing these small contemporary oil paintings. Working small is a challenge. The second one in the series is B is for Beets. I just had friends over for dinner and Steve told me the only food he hates are beets. Hummm I love beets, especially when it comes to painting them. The deep purples and cadmium reds with those lovely heart shaped leaves. The stems and leaves have purple reds running up into the leaves.
