Oil Painting Still Life with Blue Cup and Marigold

"Cup of Flower" 6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

 

 Yes! I swear, this is what happened.... I was baking and I ran short of flour, so of course I went to my neighbor and asked if I could please borrow a cup of flour. This is what she gave me. I always thought they were a bit odd...those neighbors...the new ones. Oh, I know, maybe I said FLOWER instead of FLOUR! My bad.  

Oil Painting Still Life with Red Cup and Napkin

"Red Cup and napkin" 6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

What to paint, what not to paint?  That is always my question. Problem is I want to paint everything. Not such a good thing for someone like me. I start out with an idea, then change it a dozen or two times before brush ever touches canvas. I'm not indecisive by nature. I don't think? Am I? Maybe, maybe not...hmmm, another question to ponder.    

original oil painting: Cup of Tea

6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

I love drinking tea in the afternoon. When I was a teenager my friends and I drank so much tea. I bet we drank 4 or 5 cups a day. Tea and cigarette's, better then cigarette's and chocolate milk. I expect only a few will get that reference. No wonder we stayed up so late on school nights!
