As always, I love to paint fruit wedges. This time I chose limes for their color and tried to play up their translucent nature by placing them near dark reds.

Yesterday at the market, the gorgeously red interior of half a watermelon grabbed my eye. At home I noticed that the color became even more vibrant when I set the fruit slices on this towel of green, blue and bluish-red squares. So off to the studio we all went - to make art.

Roses & Degas Laundress Postcard: pink flowers in green vintage syrup pitcher, still life oil painting
Oil on Canvas, 11" x 14"
$195 plus $8 shipping via in US SOLD
International shipping: please email me.
Email: marie@mariefox.com
More roses from my yard. This time I set them in a vintage green syrup pitcher - or maybe it's a creamer. It anchors down a card I've long treasured, of Degas' drawing/pastel called The Laundress. I've always loved her expression. She looks up from her ironing as if she has just spotted the viewer. I'm happy with this painting.
Comment by email: Hi Marie, Your painting is magnificent! You have inspired me to do paintings featuring a Matisse and this same degas painting that I have always loved. Jane

In this painting I had to work hard to stay in control. The beauty of the flowers was overwhelming, tempting me to record every luscious little detail. So I went for a simplified color scheme and strong lights and darks. I'm especially happy with the clippers.

Pear on Matisse Art Book: 11 x 14 oil still life painting, dancers fruit on saucer colorful daily art realism
Oil on Canvas, 14" x 11"
SOLD
Email: marie@mariefox.com
This was a fun painting because I loved the subject - a pear on a plate set on the back of my Matisse book. I even included the bar code as a spot of color. It was a wonderful exercise to follow the lines of these dancing figures by Matisse.

I had poured myself a bowl of squash soup and happened to set it on a purplish paper napkin. The gold color of the soup suddenly caught my eye. It glowed yellow-orange in the blue bowl, an effect that lessened when I moved the bowl off the lavender napkin. I moved it on and off the napkin several times and was astounded at how much the purple intensified the yellow of the soup. Ah, complementary colors at work! I ate the soup, poured more and headed out to the studio.

Coffee Pot and Pears
Oil on Canvas, 20" x 16" - $325 plus shipping/handling
SOLD to a collector in Arizona
Email: marie@mariefox.com
For some reason this painting has a French feel to it. I think it's the coffee pot that makes me imagine a breakfast in Paris. The reflections in the coffee pot were fun to paint - colorful but not too specific because the metal has a dull finish. The pears seemed to arrange themselves in the scene and are much bigger than in reality.

Yesterday I decided to paint something simple. Not a flower or a glass or fruit. Just a spoon in a bowl sitting on a folded newspaper. Nice and simple. Ha! I could not believe how difficult this was to paint. It all started with that ellipse of the bowl. I couldn't get it right. And then there was the newspaper. Phew! Oddly, it was that lovely red square bending around the newspaper fold that kept me pushing onward.

For the last few days, this almost-white rose outside my studio window has been asking to be painted. So today it became my model. I decided on a very dark background to show off the flower's whiteness and the pink translucence of its petals. A fun project.

Oil on Linen, 6" x 6"
$80 plus $6.95 shipping via Priority Mail to U.S. sold
Email: marie@mariefox.comI was easily tempted to paint this raspberry petit-four but it proved to be a bear. Very difficult for something so delicious to the tongue and eye. I wrestled with it for hours until it finally snapped into completeness. That's a magical aspect of painting. One can push for completion, feeling it will never happen. Then all of a sudden....hmmm, looks like that's it! Sign it.

This paper had a note on it to remind me to do something. I had anchored it on the kitchen counter with a lemon. Returning to the kitchen, I suddenly saw a perfect little still life scene, so I whipped out a pencil and second piece of paper to do a sketch. In the studio it took a while to re-create the original scene...but I really loved painting this one.

It's natural for me to want to paint the objects within my vision every day - and that includes my art materials. The tools of my trade are my treasures. I love my pastels although I don't use them much right now. There's something about their rainbow of colors and tubular shape that's intriguing.

Email: marie@mariefox.com
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.
