Green Onions

This was an exercise using my left hand to access the right side of the brain. Very difficult since I am right handed.

Peppermill

This was a hard painting to photograph. Dark colors don't photograph well. Probably because I don't know what I am doing. The colors are not correct, but it is the closet I can get. This subject was an experiment. I wanted to see if I could get the look of the clear plexiglass. The biggest challenge was trying to get the proportions even on each side and not look crooked.

Moon and Stars

I found this plant on a recent walk. It struck me as strange because of the orange orbs and purple flowers.
