LEEK AND CHERRY TOMATOES, 6X8, OIL SOLD

It seems I always return to still life paintings and the ever popular fruits and vegetables.  Especially for small works, they are so much fun.

And of course, they are all double duty, first as models and secondly as lunch.

Vegetable Still Life, Daily Oil Painting, "Ravanello Danza"

The past few months, I have been painting landscape after landscape.  I noticed that most of my favorite still life works have found new homes.

So this week, I have been painting new ones.  It has been a nice change of pace for me.

These radishes seemed to be involved in a complicated tango, so I named this "Ravanello Danza" which is Italian for Radish Dance.  It sounds much better in Italian.

Still Life Daily Oil Painting "Le Belle Poivron Rouge", 6x8"

I find I have missed painting still life, so it has been fun catching up on it over the last week.

If I could just stop sleeping, I would have an additional 5 or 6 hours a day to paint.

Maybe then I would have enough time to paint both my still life and my landscapes.....but what about the abstract/mixed media  I also want to try?  Maybe I better work on growing another set of arms instead!

Life is hard when you're retired!!

"Yum! Mahane Mehuda Market, Jerusalem" by Karla Nolan

Another tale of traveling in Israel.  We met up with some of my relatives and toured around the Mahane Mehuda Market, a primarily open air market in Jerusalem, loaded with seasonal specialties, lots of action and activity.  The mounds of savory and sweet spices were tantalizing, there was not only food available to buy but also purses, clothes and other ethnic or religious items.  Just looking at the multitudes of oils, meats, fish, cheeses, nuts, and cooking/serving dishes was intriguing.  One could sidle up to the olive bars, salivate at the many varieties of vegetables, fabulous fruits, baskets of breads, dazzling desserts, and be awed by the wide variety of people in action, buying, selling, gazing (or being tourists like we were!)
