My new still life

Just the last memories about the past season before to jump into the colorful world of Spring and Summer flowers.

New old painting

Hi everyone,
Working on my artist's site I've realized that I completely forgot to post one beautiful Spring painting. I've painted it last Spring after visiting my friends house where the fascinating jasmine tree was in full blossom. I brought some branches home and next morning began to paint. Some of you saw the result on the Guild Fall Show...

In Anticipation of Spring again...

I finally gathered my recent paintings in a small collection "Anticipation of Spring". The plump flower buds on the rhododendrons, daffodils, tulips and crocus herald spring blooms to come. I overwhelmed  with inspiration to paint flowers to celebrate Nature  awakening.
This music is inspiring too my feeling of Spring

Feel free to post your comments :)

You'll find these and other new paintings on the Guild Show.

And again my favourite pomegranates!

This painting looks close to the previous one I've made last year due to the same cloth that was used as a background. I like this color the most to emphasize red flam of the pomegranates.

Still-life with Persimmons

The Persimmons Poem we found was dangling from the delicate branches of the tree that was once choked with leaves and fruit. At the end of the season, what was left were a few, sweet, sugary, nectar heavy and plump persimmons that were barely hanging on. They were calling out to be hand-picked.

We’ve been waiting for the rains to shower the persimmons one last time so that we can capture the fruit glistening in its final beauty before we plucked them from the branches. The persimmons love the rain. We know this because the fruit just glows after a good cold shower. Their rich orange color against the delicate branches just have us standing, staring in awe.

So we each snapped a verse from the tree. Voila, our visual Persimmon Poem.

Diane and Todd

Mu Ch'i's Persimmons - Gary Snyder
On a back wall down the hall
lit by a side glass door
is the scroll of Mu Ch’i’s great
sumi painting, “Persimmons”
The wind-weights hanging from the
axles hold it still.
The best in the world, I say,
of persimmons.
Perfect statement of emptiness
no other than form
the twig and the stalk still on,
the way they sell them in the
market even now.
The original’s in Kyoto at a
lovely Rinzai temple where they
show it once a year
this one’s a perfect copy from Benrido
I chose the mounting elements myself
with the advice of the mounter
I hang it every fall.
And now, to these overripe persimmons
from Mike and Barbara’s orchard.
Napkin in hand,
I bend over the sink
suck the sweet orange goop
that’s how I like it
gripping a little twig
those painted persimmons
sure cure hunger
