A Painting A Day - Another onion painting by Derek Cadena

"In The Can" was painted on 01 29 2010.  I love the can-y-ness of the can, and the name just makes me laugh.  Check out the ad here: In The Can

 

A Painting A Day - Onion paintings by Derek Cadena

At my last visit to the Asian market, I bought a few plump little green eggplants.  They were so cool looking that they had to be painted before I would later roast them with a chicken.  So, I painted "Mutiny Au Gratin".  The crew of eggplant are tossing the young rebel onion overboard...

The following day I painted "Used", a portrait of a drying cut onion.  The new paintings are listed on ebay, here are the ad links: Mutiny Au Gratin , Used.

 

 

A Painting A Day - Still life of Mighty Tonka by Derek Cadena

A couple of weeks ago, Brent's father dropped off a well used Tonka truck that was, once, Brent's favorite toy.  It's beautiful! And now, it's the studio mascot/art caddy, holding brushes and other art making tools.   I had to paint the Mighty Tonka!  You can see the ad for this original painting listed on ebay, and I will be offering larger Giclee canvas prints of this painting on etsy in the very near future.
