"A Few Favorite Things"

"A Few Favorite Things", 16 x 20" Oil

Many of you know that I've been busy this year training a new puppy, Ruby!  Here's a still life incorporating one of my favorite photos of our little Ruby, as well as a few other of my favorite things to paint, apples and my Shamrock Fiesta dishes.

I'm trying out water-based oils, and enjoying experimenting with this medium. I like that I can use water as a medium rather than volatile chemicals.  Also clean up is a breeze!  I do like the medium though that allows for nice glazing effects.  I look forward to experimenting with other brands of water-based oils too.

This is my first visit to your blog. Ruby is darling. I checked out some older posts and I saw some other lovely paintings. Happy New Year!
