Roses, Silver Vase & Lime


















Oil on Canvas, 11" x 14" - SOLDEmail: marie@mariefox.com
Comments by email:
"Being a painter myself I know the challenges you faced painting this composition. The folds of cloth, the curved reflective surface of the vase, the gauziness of the rose petals, and the geometric surfaces of the lime each require a different turning of the eye to capture on canvas. Bravo! Bravo!!" Benjamin Burr, Charlestown, SC

Pear on Paper



















Oil on Canvas Board, 8" x 10" $690 - SOLDEmail: marie@mariefox.com
This painting is an odd combination of objects, but was a joy to paint. I loved looking closely at the folds of the paper and the intricate pattern on the silver spoon. The reddish background is an overall layer I applied long before starting the painting. I liked the reddish glow so did not paint over it other than where the objects are. I've always like this little painting.

"I love this painting!!! You are very talented." Anne Henderson

This is a painting I've always loved because of the colors, the glass jar and the scarf which has a Matisse design on the silk. I'd found the jar long ago at a flea market and always liked the square shape and the gray metal lid. All the angles made it difficult to paint but it was great to discover areas where the scarf colors were reflected. That's the lesson that painting anything made of glass always provides - you really have to look. There's no guessing what will be reflected or seen through the glass.

Comments by email"
"Like most New Yorkers, I have a lot to say about a lot of things. I am impressed by your composition, in this particular piece and in many of your other paintings. Do you have a representative here? I’m asking because while I visit galleries on a regular basis most of what I see would be better suited for a trash can rather than a wall. I will check back on a regular basis to see what you have been working on." Bill Windham, NYC

Oil on Canvas Board, 8" x 10" - SOLDEmail: marie@mariefox.com
Comments by email:
"I am sorry to have missed buying this painting, which would have been perfect for our country kitchen. Right now the apple trees that I can see from the window are barren but in the fall I remember the fruit that came from them sitting on the counter waiting to be sliced and put into the pie shell. So, this is what your painting is bringing to mind. I hope that you will paint another one like this so that I can stop wishing I had not let this one pass by. Let me know if you do. Thanks."
