Fruit with Dried Sunfower


The sunflower is from last summer's garden. Every winter the birds knock a bounty of seeds out of the feeders, and thousands of sunflowers come up. I thin them for weeks, and eventually have a few small flowers like this one. They come up leggy and tough, and I like them a lot!

Braeburn Apple


A little study in red, black, and yellow. I wanted to show how a single, humble piece of fruit can be a visual as well as a tasty treat. I always try to include the variety in the title. That's my small effort toward encouraging growers to keep the varieties going.

Key Limes


I love ikat weave fabrics, so I have a little collection. I've been wanting to put this great cloth from Guatemala into a painting for a long time, so I was thrilled when I saw how great the limes looked on it. I love limes too! These are headed for lime marmalade.
