Since there are two of them I've titled this one "Together".

Peonies



A bunch of Peonies in a glass bowl , I just added the finishing touches on my newest painting, "Peonies". I do have one peony plant in my garden but I haven't got a green thumb and I've heard they are hard to grow in Texas. Well, if I can't grow them, I can certainly paint them,

Enoteca

Enotecas are wine stores that offer wine tasting in Italy. There's one in Buonconvento, Italy which displays bottles on a shelf just outside their door. I took a photo of the wine bottle display a few years ago. There were eight bottles on display. Last year, when we visited Buonconvento and walked by the Enoteca there were a few more bottles on display...
This is a small painting on gessoed board, 5 x 7 inches, and shows only a portion of the whole shelf.

A Pair of Abstracts

Just finished a pair of abstracts on small canvas, 6x6 inches, a mixture of brush and palette knife painting. I love the soft muted grays of these paintings.
I have not come up with a title for them yet.
Any suggestions?
