Rich, deep and earthy fall colours like cinnamon brown, pomegranate red and hunter green come together to form Mixed fruit by F. Magdalene.
detail 1- Contrasting beside cinnamon brown is pumpkin orange fading in and out of banana yellow.
detail 2
Apples, bananas and big green leaves aren’t the main focus of this painting. The motion and paint strokes made this piece quiet enjoyable to create. I usually don’t paint still life like this but we have to step outside our comfort zone from time to time. I’m happy I did. Who knew I’d get a bunch of fruit on this painting adventure?

Say I don’t really want Fall to come and whisk spring and summer away? Say I want to hold onto spring and summer flowers and colors as long as possible? What if I simply decide that nope, as of today I have control over the turning of seasons and I say they stop here and now, right now. I’m going to miss spring. I’ll miss opening up the curtains to see my grass growing wild with weeds that should have been cut weeks ago. I’ll miss long nights on the porch with a fly swatter and a cool drink. It’ll come again next year, spring and summer always come as planned. I’m just not so eager this year to let them go. So, in honor of sunny days and long nights on the porch with an out dated tiki torch here are three renditions of spring flowers. I couldn’t name them Forever Summer, that wouldn’t sound right so here I introduce to you Forever Spring In Threes.
Forever Spring 2
Forever Spring 3
I know what you’re thinking, that’s the same flower. You’re right, it is, or rather it was. I rearranged the leaves, changed the peddles and the background for a different look and feel. What I like about Forever Spring 3 is the antique look it has to it. I like the weathered white with a bit of brown and country blue peaking through the white around the border of the painting. It gives it a very warm feeling and a totally different appeal than version 1 and 2.
Well, I can’t make spring and summer stay but I can paint its memories as often as I like and I intend to do just that.

Don’t despair, it’s hard to potty train. You’ll get the hang of it little buddy, now wipe away the big crocodile tears.
Oops, maybe next time he’ll remember to go on the paper.
The pup sits head bowed with a crocodile tear rolling down his slick black face. In the back is a washed out newspaper comic strip often used to help in puppy training. Can you resist this sad puppy face? Don’t you just want to pooch out your lower lip, scoop him up and pat his little head?
Why is the tagged experimental design? The background is one I’ve never done before. I wanted to try something new so I scanned an old newspaper and filled it into the steps that the puppy was originally sitting on. I kinda like how it looks.
Title: Crocodile Tears

Shape shifter is an exceptionally earthy digital painting full of detail, texture and movement. If you look closely you can see what could be wood grain, a finger print or the veins of weathered paper running through the background image. This texture sits behind steel blue and sea green stained glass which also doubles as hair then swirls around in dark crimson as a necklace to the shape shifter.

The fun part about this piece is how the stems of two leaves extend to create the antennas on the butterfly. Typical green ivy turned blue and gold with a touch of purple adds a fantasy quality. This is high texture, high detail and crystal clear paint/mouse strokes. Truly a fun piece to create.
Primary Colors: Green gold, fantasy green,
Accent colors: Sky blue, cobalt blue, coral, purple
