522 Cuties in the Oak Leaf Bowl


My oak leaf bowl has housed an overflowing Vitamin C supply for the last several days.  I've been trying to rid myself of a miserable cold, so the pile has dwindled quite a bit.

506. Persimmons in a Blue and White Bowl

My Jean Wells bowl is getting quite a showing.

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/diane-campion/506--persimmons-in-a-blue-and-white-bowl/293068

Yesterday Jean delivered my order of her meticulously crafted pottery.  Some people in my family will be happy to receive it.  (Shhhh....)  She has changed directions on her designs to appeal more to the "modern" set.   Check out her work at her Etsy store here:

Here sugar skull mugs are now sold at Colectivo Coffee.  Very cool.

503 Sunny Farm Near Algoma

This is a lovely farm near Algoma, Wisconsin.  I have never seen so many sunflowers in one place.  I am almost finished painting it in a larger format, which I have to say is a heck of a lot easier than this was.

490 Big Bay Landscape

One of my favorite places to get away is Big Bay Park which overlooks Lake Michigan in my community.  At this time of year, the maples are so vibrant along the way leading to the path that takes you to the lake.  This Fall I've stopped my car many times to take pictures of the trees in all their glory and brilliance,  and couldn't resist the impulse to paint them.  I squirted out the Indian Yellow and Nickel Azo Yellow for this one.

485 Empty Red Bowl

This is one of the eight beautiful bowls I purchased at Empty Bowls Milwaukee.  I purchased three bowls made and donated by Jody Nolan, all are free formed and irregular and beautiful and I don't think I can part with them.  I don't know much about making pottery, but they look to me like they are made from a slab of clay rather than a thrown pot.  Here is the link to Jody's site:  http://jodynolanclay.com/

475 Lavish

I was stumped as to what to name this painting so I did a little online research on the lowly, unappreciated onion to gain inspiration.  I learned that "onions are an ace ally in your fight against disease. A prized member of the lily family, they lavish you with health benefits."  These beauties are from our farm CSA, Springdale Farm.

469 Welcome

My friend Pam always has a bowl of green apples on her kitchen table.  They make her kitchen so homey and I always feel welcome there.

467 Lanterns in a Cobalt Pitcher

I was a little leery of painting the Chinese Lanterns so small because I didn't want to get "fussy," but I am very happy with them.  This pitcher was given to me by my dear friend, Sharon, who lives in Maine.  I miss seeing her and talking to her on regular basis.  Coincidentally, her birthday is October 2, so this was painted with loving thoughts of her and all the fun we had as neighbors.

462 Chinese Lanterns and Oak Leaves

These Chinese Lanterns a.k.a Physalis alkekengi,  Japanese Lanterns, winter cherry, are my glamour crop for this season.  They have spread like crazy in my back garden and it is fun to find something so colorful that the rabbits don't eat.  I love how they look in the blue and white bowl with the acorns.  I hate to see summer end, but I love the vibrancy of the colors of Autumn.

442 Scallions, a Spaniard and a Leek

Produce from last week's farm box posed an interesting challenge for me---such limited  colors and so many greens and "whites."  After several days away from painting, I was very loose, which surprised me.

I was in the Detroit area visiting family, and took the opportunity to visit with fellow "daily painter," Dave Capalungan.  Dave was my "neighbor" on Daily Paintworks until a new artist moved in the neighborhood.  I love Dave's work, which is exceptionally more beautiful seeing it in person.  I was honored and delighted to receive his gift of one of his paintings, and purchased another I have had my eye on.  I learn a lot from Dave, as he is always willing to share ideas.  Here is a picture of us in front of his stunning orchid painting and the gift I received from him.

Carrots from the farm box in (on) a favorite bowl.  I love the complimentary palette of orange and blue.

Another painting with Jean Well's bowl.  I learn something new with each new painting, even though the cast of characters changes from painting to painting.

415 Locally Grown and Perfect

This beautiful tomato was locally grown at Springdale Farm, and part of our weekly CSA box of vegetables (yes, I know tomatoes are technically a fruit).  It was delicious.

Once again, credit is due to Eugene for sharing his beautiful photo with me.  After painting with watercolors yesterday,  I wanted to paint it with acrylics to see which I felt better represented the subject.
