A Painting A Day - Ants on a log - by Derek Cadena

Celery, peanut butter, and raisins were on the lunch menu last Friday, but of course, it became the focus of my painting session.  I was out of raisins, so, I used currants instead... I made tiny ants on a log.  About three hours later the painting was finished and I was finally able to eat my lunch.  I'm very pleased with this little painting!  See the ad on ebay: Ants on a Log

A Painting A Day - Avocados by Derek Cadena

Avocados are only 39¢ each at Sunflower Market this week!  I've eaten a few avocados in the past few days... after they pose for me!  A bath of lemon juice keeps them from getting too brown while I paint, and it makes them more delicious for my after work treat.  Here are two of the avocado paintings titled "The Better Half" and "Two Halves". They are both listed on ebay, click the titles to see the ads.
