I do love those lemons - the shape, the scent and the flavor. I'd bought a bag of them and rather than paint them as wedges, I decided to group three in one of my favorite bowls. My artistic challenge to myself was to make the lemons appear as intensely yellow as they are in life. So I tried to dull the other colors and to use complements. This painting took quite a long while and I'm growing to like it.

Three Olives

Oil on Canvas Board - 6" x 6", framed - SOLD
I've always been wild about olives. Absolutely love that salty taste. So when I spied a jar of these big ones in the fridge, I knew three would become my models. The hot studio light stirred up their delisious scent. In this little painting I went for unusual colors - for me. Two different greens, and I think I like them.

I've always loved the shiny surface, tubular shape and circular handles of these clips that artists use to attach drawing paper to a board. They have a powerful grip and a nice snap when they lock into place. Mostly they remind me of wonderfully long drawing sessions, some of my favorite times.

Poking through museums, I'm always delighted to come upon 18th century still-life paintings of food. My favorites are those by Chardin. I've made a few copies of his table-top still lifes in an attempt to understand how he painted these luscious scenes. A favorite topic of the 18th century masters was the peeled lemon. Often it's pictured at the very edge of a table or on a metal plate like the one I used here.

Thanks to a recent windstorm, I found this big lemon lying beneath a tree with its leaves still attached. In my studio I set it on a table against a wall, using pennies wedged underneath to keep it upright. (I love this little coin trick which I learned from Cezanne. Apparently that's how he kept his apples and oranges from rolling off the table.) I painted it larger than life. Changing the scale of an object seems to make me look at it in a new way.

Old Barn

Email: marie@mariefox.com

It's fun to look at this scene and remember so clearly the act of painting it. I was standing close to the Wild Flower Bakery in Freestone (near Sebastapol in Sonoma County), looking across the street. I really loved the basic shapes of the barn and silo, and the reddish color of the barn roof. It's a small painting but it seems to give a big sense of the farm buildings.

Spool of Thread with Needle

Oil on Canvas Board, 6" x 6" - SOLD
Email: marie@mariefox.com
This little painting celebrates my love for sewing. For many years I made a living by designing and fabricating hand-dyed silk clothing. I've also sewn a stack of quilts. Pulling thread through fabric has always given me comfort - because of its slow steady rhythm and its connection to the women who create both everyday and extraordinary art with needle and thread.

"Your painting reminds us “girls” of our shared love for sewing. My mother makes needlepoint, my sister can make anything on the sewing machine and I quilt. Thank you." S. Hanson, KS
