I haven't checked to see if I've posted this painting before, but anyway, I FINALLY won a First Place in Oils! I don't even remember what I named this one....something about a teaspoon. When I dropped it off at The Rowayton Art Center, I remember standing there with another artist discussing how we hated to name our paintings and were waiting till the last possible minute to do so. Uh, I just don't know if I should name it "Spoon", for that's what I was focused on....for awhile. "Honey Glow" was another option, for I was, for awhile......., focused on making the honey glow. But then what about, "That Flower in the Background". No, that would bring it too forward, which I did not want to do. It really doesn't matter too much to me, because I won First Place! Does that mean that I get an extra helping of cookies after dinner? This one is for sale at $225, and it is in a nice, chunky black and gold frame. Maybe I'll sell something! 10" x 10" with 2 1/4" frame = a little over 14"square.

Congratulations on winning first place with your morning delight. Honey, is so delightful even in a painting. My husband buys it by the case,from a bee keeper who unfortunately is retiring from bee keeping. JB
Yippee! Of course you won first place! I love it.... congrats!
Enjoy your winnings.... also, love the look of the chunky gold frame.
I'm so glad you mentioned oatmeal as a background color because that has been in the back of my mind ever since I started this rug. Also, I have quite a bit of that color to get started. I may cut some strips and just try it out... live with it for a bit. Also, I LOVE your new Etsy store. And.... I'm lusting after several of your paintings, but the grapes in the jar is the one I would choose first. The colors are so beautiful! Maybe, if it's still there at the end of the month, I can swing it.....Love all your work.
Congratulations!
